Re: REAL Big Rig Friendly Parks in N. Brunswick and N. Scotia
Point of View at Louisburg Louisburg is very educational. Very realistic roll playing inhabitants. Arm of Gold North Sydney Jumping off place for the Newfoundland ferry. Mine tour extremely interesting. Be able to bend for long periods. Bras D’Or Lakes Campground (8885 Hwy 105, Baddeck, Nova Scotia BOE 180, 902-295-2329, GS) Wifi http://www.brasdorlakescampground.com Red Barn Restaurant, St Michael’s Parrish (nightly Ceilidh), Iona, Bird Island (Englishtown), Sydney, Rollie’s Wharf (fiddle music on Thursday, North Sydney) Ceilidh at Gaelic College is not to be missed. It you are thinking about Nova Scotia south shore Lunenberg and the Folk Harbor Festival (August) is wonderful. Mahone Bay and Peggy's Cove are worth seeing. We stayed at Graves Island Provencial Park (no electric or sewer) but wonderful sites on a grassy island. Cape Breton National Park - Broad Cove (35479 Cabot Trail, Ingonish Beach, Nova Scotia B0C 1L0, 902- 224-2306) http://www.campscout.com/campground/NS0016/ Great place to be while exploring Cabot Trail via toad. Good hiking trails nearby as well. The road up had a couple of hairpin curves but doable. Most people stay on the other side (Cheticamp) and is an easier road up in a big rig.155Views0likes0CommentsRe: Slide Toppers - waterproof?
On my 99 Windsor I found a leak at where the inside flange (behind fascia) attached to the slide body. I used 5200 sealant at inside corner to fix. I found a new flipper seal at http://www.uni-grip.com/dealer_catalog.pdf Make sure the seal flips. I added a non skid strip (1", not too rough, not sandpaper) around the perimeter about 4" from the inside to help the seal flip.478Views0likes0CommentsRe: Cost for Allison Transmission Fluid and Filter Change
I believe the 4000MH with 4 inch sump takes 39 qts of Transynd with a filter change. At $40 a gallon and $60 for filter set you are looking at $450 in materials. I wonder if the low bidders fully realize the capacity of your transmission.341Views0likes0CommentsRe: Georgie Boy Encounter Class A Gas Motor Home RV Camper
I used to own the same motorhome, albeit a 96 Encounter. Spartan econo chassis and 5.9 b series engine. The worse thing about it was the air over hydraulic brakes, not nearly as good as air brakes. By now the particle board used in the construction is suspect.486Views0likes0Comments
