Re: RV Campgrounds discount/saving clubs

We plan to be camping across country for 2 months and then we are looking at some 3-5 days trips a couple more times so I am thinking we will?429Views0likes0CommentsRe: RV Campgrounds discount/saving clubs
Wow you guys gave me a lot to look at. I am only 57 but retired so not sure I will qualify for any real senior discounts but I will check out all the ones you guys mentioned. We are planning a 55 day trip across country and so I want to save where I can but would still like electric and water too. Does that help?206Views0likes0CommentsRV Campgrounds discount/saving clubs
I am thinking of buying a couple discount/saver type cards but have no idea as to the best ones to get you discounts at the campgrounds. Any idea of a couple I could buy and not cost a leg and an arm but actually help save on camp sites? I read so many and I am not up for the ones running hundreds to be used at only select sites. Something a little cheaper and more useful, please?4.6KViews0likes20CommentsRe: Parrot cages for the RV

If it is set up for sleeping, that might be ideal. You could strap the cages in securely, and the birds would be above the dogs. As for cooking, just make sure your fans are on and venting out. Do whatever cooking you can outside. We grill everything, so we purchased a 'T' adaptor for our propane tank, and set up a 2-burner stove outside as well. Beware electric grills. Some don't mention it on the packaging, but they have teflon on them. Wire bottom cages are good on many levels. Birds - especially cockatoos- love to forage. It is a healthy behavior that should not be discouraged. While the bird is standing on the wire, they have to work to get the morsels they find. Itis work for them, and mentally a win for them. As my previous post noted...just be sure to socialize and interact with the birds, and you will be fine. You know your birds and what will freak them out. Frankly, I would be more worried about 4 dogs! In a Class C! What if they all had gas and started farting? Yes, there is a bed up above, hubby's domain. LOL I get the foldout couch with the dogs. LOL But maybe we could find away to strap them up there. The dogs do not actually bother them other than to look in on them. They are small dogs and respect the beak. LOL Yes we do plan to have them out some of the time every day, so that should help too. And I will favorite toys too. I am seriously thinking about outside grill too. But I did buy a couple gas detectors and carbon monoxide detector. Figure that is good for us too. How do you use a t-adapter to hook in? We are totally new to this and I am the tomboy, plus the camper of the two of us so I will need directions or a place to find them to do anything.

We have a 22ft Class C Fleetwood Tioga and there are no extra seats to remove for us to put in a bigger cage (believe me I have studied it all all to see if I could. We have 2 parrots (African Grey (Congo) and Rose-breasted Cockatoo)both mid-size parrots. They both have the parrot travel cages (Midwest Poquito Avian Hotel)they are 14 x 18 x 14in, with rope perches inside, as well as wire bottom and food and water bowls. And a wooden/handle perch on top to allow them to be on top cage as well. These are the cages we use to evacuate tornado weather here and to travel to the vets. And have worked fine for that and they are used to them. But we are planning a 40 day trip with them and I worry that they need more room than this. They both have full sized parrot cages with play stands on top plus additional play stands at home, so they are used to lots of room. We did buy 2 of the collapsible T perches that go from 18" to 52" for them to play on when we are stopped. I planned to strap their cages to the table or take the table out and strap them them between the seats? Any ideas. We will also be traveling with 3 chihuahuas and a pug as well, so on the floor will not make them feel as secure but I worried that the table would rock too much? I bought flat bungee straps to strap them down. I could sure use some ideas? Also, I am a little worried about being able to use the gas range in the RV to cook with the parrots there? I did buy a 12V crock pot and 12V grill just encase and I have thought about an electric grill for outside too but for now I have a charcoal grill for outside when we stop. I also, since the space is so small changed all my cookware to enamel coated cast-iron to avoid any pan fumes as well. Since the furnace (should not really need it much) and the hot water heater are gas as well should I worry about fumes from that? And if so is there another kind of detector I could install or own to help us in the RV to avoid trouble? I know parrots are very susceptible to gas fumes. Any ideas from parrot RV campers?1.5KViews0likes0Comments
