Anyone for "The America The Beautiful Passes"?

[MaraZen]

If your Military, you can get the Free pass to enter into National parks. Called, "The Military Lifetime pass". No charge for the card. Get at any open National Park with Military ID of any kind. Call them to make sure they can issue where you are going. If anyone not military goes, you can also get the other cards, different ones for different situations. Can save money for all sorts of things at parks depending on if parks let you use it there. If that makes any sense. Look up online "The America The Beautiful Passes".

We have the Senior Pass which is similar other than no military access. It works great and is well worth the one time price

I was surprised no one talked about that pass with me being a hopefully soon fulltimer. For us newbies, I would like to know about any other helpful hints on gas cards, discounts anywhere, any kind of stuff like that are helpful, etc. Going to camping world today, taking my 'spread sheet" with me. Thank you for your advice on that. I think you guys were the one that told me, lol. Lots of people giving advice, lol. Love all the helpful hints.

I got the senior pass 3 years ago and haven't had the opportunity to use it once, it is not from lack of traveling.

I got the senior pass a few years back and was recently glad to hear that Playalinda Beach accepts it. Otherwise there is a hefty fee to use the beach.

Mara some places have been known to have bad service. Or make promises that they can not keep. But this goes for all RV sellers. Ours here in Reno NV. has a few problems with getting your unit back to you in a timely manner. I found a RV repair place that has had there employees as long as thirty years. That say's allot about their business. Customers are always coming back. So when you do buy, find a good RV repair. You will find things do break. Batteries do need to be replaced ect. Some places also offer RV school. Take the course. It is well worth it for a beginner. Plus at this time of year everyone is very busy. Do not be in such a rush to buy. Fall is a good time to buy also when sales slow down.

OK, I got America the Beautiful Pass, Good Sam Card, KOA membership, Pass Port America, An upside app helps to cut down on cost for fuel and food. National Park Apps, Road Trippers is one I really like, Rest Stop locations app, All Stays camp & RV app plus the All Stays C-RV Military app, The Dyrt app, Plus any other RV camping app that is free to use. One app I really like though is Road Trippers. I put in where I want to go and the info on my RV and it plans my route I can even ask for places to stay attractions to go see ect. A very good app.
