Re: Pets left alone in RV at campground?
To answer the question (no moral judgement included)-yes, people leave their dogs alone at campgrounds all the time ("no dogs alone" signs or not). Our experience-we have taken two dogs camping (we had one dog at a time). Our first dog was fine being alone. Our second dog was a bit anxious. We have a Class C,and did not want the dogs going near the steering wheel, gas pedals, or large front window, so we put a baby gate across the front. We also shut the windows, no matter what the weather, because we did not want to risk either dog panicking and going through a window screen. We shut the curtains and left plenty of fresh water and a treat. We gave doggy cbd to our second dog, to help with the anxiety. We would also give our dog a loooong walk before leaving in the hope that this would cause her to sleep. To check and see if our dogs barked when we were away-we drove away from the campsite, parked, and walked back to the campsite, sat outside and read for an hour. We never heard a peep. We would also ask neighbors (if any were around) whether they heard barking or not. There is surveillance equipment that you can use-the problem is that I think you need a reliable internet source and/or unlimited data. We were careful not to be gone too long. Five hours was our limit.618Views0likes0CommentsRe: Potential purchase of MH
What would put me on high alert is the fact that the individual/company would be willing to foot the bill for delivery. We live on the east coast and bought our rv from a man in California. My husband flew out, inspected the rv, flew home, and we had a company deliver the rv. We paid, not the owner. I can't imagine that an individual/company would be willing to spend the money on a delivery. Especially on only a potential sale.641Views0likes0CommentsRe: Glacier NP
Okay, I will tell you what I know. We stayed at St. Mary's Campground in 2018 for six days. What we liked-the campground was close to St. Marry's Visitor's Center, which we walked to every day to get the shuttle. There was also internet reception at the Visitor's Center. Because we were close to the town of St. Mary's, we had cell phone service. No hook-ups but there is a dump station. Also, only two showers for the entire campground. So, if you have an rv shower, plan on using it. Scenery is beautiful. Hikes were fantastic-one of the best National Parks we have visited. Rangers were nice. BUT, things to know-this park is PACKED with people. So, take the shuttle. Parking lots are small and fill up quickly. Glacier is HUGE. It takes a long time to get from one area to the next. We did a hike a day. By the time we caught the shuttle, got to our destination, hiked, got the shuttle, and returned to our campsite, we were tired.411Views0likes0Comments
