Re: Alaska Hwy fuel stops- see original posting
CA Traveler wrote: The PenFed Cash Rewards card has no transaction fees and 5 percent cash back on fuel every month. The card must be swiped at the pump for the cash back. Requires a second account and I have a $25 money market account. Be sure that your card does not have transaction fees. Thanks for the response but this really does not answer my question.4.5KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Alaska Hwy fuel stops- see original posting
What is the best way to pay for diesel fuel on a road trip from Idaho to Alaska? Do the stations take Visa or is a specific gas card better? I have found that Chevron, Texaco, and Shell don’t seem to be in an abundance on the route through British Columbia, Alberta, Yukon Territory, and Alaska.4.5KViews0likes0CommentsRe: What is the best way to de-ice slide-outs
We camp at 6,000 feet in October and November for about six weeks and it is NOT anywhere close to an improved campground, not even a USFS or BLM campground, let alone running water. We have no choice but to extend the slide-outs. The dealer, knowing our camping lifestyle, recommended that we NOT install the slide-out toppers, as the toppers would not help prevent the snow and/or ice from accumulating on the slide-out. Their recommendation was to sweep the snow off as often as possible but they had no solution for the ice. When it gets below zero, it is a whole new ball game.1.2KViews0likes0CommentsWhat is the best way to de-ice slide-outs
What is the best way to de-ice slide-outs in below zero temps after freezing rain and/or snow? We spend more time camping in freezing temps than we do in warm weather. We just upgraded our Arctic Fox travel trailer to an AF fifth wheel so we are new to the slide-out game. I saw one tip about using the outdoor shower but I could almost guarantee that in -10 degree temps the water would freeze long before I ever get the slide-out retracted. I have thought about using a quality windshield washer fluid that incorporates a de-icing chemical, as it is easy on paint and rubber parts. Dispersing the fluid, I would use a small hand pump pressurized sprayer like the type used on lawns and gardens. I need a chemical or method that is not going to damage paint and seals. Most bare-ground deicer fluids or granules have some type of chloride (salt) in them, which spells disaster for a slide-out. Aircraft de-icing fluid is cost prohibitive.5.5KViews0likes15Comments
