Knock, Knock, Is Anybody Home?
There are at least three Posts about the lack of notification/explanation, either before or after, of the recent forum format change. the loss of Signatures, and the valued Unread Post feature. Yet there has been no response from the Community Managers. IMHO these changes have rendered this forum unusable. I am pretty sure I am not alone. THe good news is there are other forums I can visit to learn and share RV information.Solved19Views2likes3CommentsRe: Hwy 26 and Hwy 97 into Bend
Huh? Bend, OR is not on I5. It is east of I5 on Hwy-97. And Hwy-26 only goes east from Bend. Hwy-97 is a major truck route and is fine for your toy hauler. Feb, is winter and both I5 and Hwy-97 can be affected by rain and snow (fire in the summer). Watch the road conditions.333Views1like4CommentsRe: Safest Route Tucson, AZ to Brookings, Or.
580 is a full blown freeway around San Francisco. It can be busy but no concern about driving a big RV on it. The option is 101 through the West Bay and downtown San Francisco. That will be more of a white-knuckle experience for sure.365Views0likes0CommentsRe: Route Advice
I assume you forgot the portion on I-15 north of SLC is only until Tremonton where you connect again to Hwy-84 to Ontario. We have done traveled the Bend to Hwy-80 East of SLC portion of this part of your route numerous times We are pulling a 40' 5th wheel and had zero issues. I recall a couple of grades northeast of SLC but nothing traumatic.315Views1like1CommentRe: I-5 to 101
Where in southern OR are you? My preference would be to get over to Hwy-101 as soon as practical (I dislike i-5). North of Eugene take Hwy-146 to Florence and Hwy-101. If you are above Cottage Grove take Hwy-38 through Drain to Reedsport and Hwy-101. Just south of Roseburg take the road through Dillard to the Coos Bay area connection to Hwy-101. I have done all of these with my 40' 5th wheel. Next opportunity is Hwy-199 out of Grants Pass. After that you are in CA and Hwy-299 at Redding is the 1st chance to get over to Hwy-101. I would consider going around San Francisco and not driving Hwy-101 through there. Hwt-101 goes right through S.F. and has heavy traffic. I have done with the RV but city driving doesn't bother me that much. I love Hwy-101 from WA to CA.242Views0likes0CommentsRe: Recent Posts Option Missing?
There seems to be a easier way, as I have my option set to "Newest First" and it was quick and easy to do. But here is another? way to make the change. In the upper right hand corner the far right icon is for your "Settings". Click on it, then "Preferences", and then "Threaded Layout" and you will find the "Sorting Option....." where you can change to "Newest First". But I don't remember going down this rabbit hole before. I know I made the change when the forum was "upgraded". How I did it eludes me.531Views0likes2Comments
