    Fires in Canada

    While prepping to head for Alaska, someone mentioned on this site about wild fires in Canada. I began searching around online and came across this site. It’s helping me to determine my path to Alaska. Just thought I’d share...

    What I saw getting my tires checked was amazing.

    This really isn’t about maintenance, but how a man can overcome obstacles. Getting my RV ready for my Alaska trip I went J&G tire center which is kind of out in the country and nothing fancy at all. I checked in for my appointment having to wait for the owners son to finish his job so he could...

    28 days and we’re off to Alaska.

    Hello all, I’ve mentioned in other posts that our dream was taking our first major trip and the destination would be Alaska. There are/were a lot of things had to line up to do this as I have a 92 yr old mother we care for and a daughter that was in pretty bad shape (physically and...

    5500 Onan Maintenance tip

    I ordered a kit to replace the plugs, air filter, fuel filter, and oil filter. When removing the plugs, the right cyl plug is behind it and impossible to see. You have to feel to find it and put spark plug socket on. You have to use a universal on the socket with at least a 6” extension. Now...

    Flat tow, dolly, or trailer. My thoughts

    I just completed a trip to Florida flat towing my 2008 Jeep Wrangler. I did not have any problems, but here is what I think about vs dolly and trailer. Mind you this is really about just towing mostly and what I experienced using my 2016 Georgetown “gasser” FLAT TOW: Driving seems a little...

    Insurance cards into Canada

    In our planning and getting closer to departure I decided to check my motorhome insurance to make sure everything was ok going through Canada. What I found out was the insurance was fine, but you are required to have a Canadian Insurance Card or (ID). Apparently more information is required on...

    Charge controller question for lithium batteries.

    Doing some research and admittedly I’m not very smart about this stuff, but I’m trying. I also looked at previous posts, but I didn’t see anything so here goes. I have 4 lead acid 85AH batteries with a Progressive Dynamics converter/charger model PD9270 13.6 amps output. I’ve read/heard you...

    Setting up my tow package.

    Hello all, I just wanted to share what I did setting up my Toad for the first time. I did ask a few questions on setup here on another thread and everyone was most helpful. i am a DYI kind of guy with a mechanical background and I do tend to look for deals when I can. I went out on...

    Brake Buddy Connection

    We’re getting our Jeep set up for hauling around. I picked up a Break Buddy to use. In the manual it says to plug into the accessory output of the vehicle being towed. Of course with the Jeep it requires the battery disconnected since you have to leave the ignition in ACC to unlock the...

    New to us Toad

    Hey guys, I know many of you have flat tow vehicles. Well, we have been using a dolly to bring our Nissan Rouge with us. The dolly works fine baring it dragging the road once in a while going across dips and things, but we decide to try the flat tow thinking a simpler setup, plus getting...

    Tip Check cooling fins on Your generator

    I was doing some general cleaning on the RV and decided to wash and clean the Generator/engine. After cleaning I was drying the engine and noticed material hanging out of an air baffle. This baffle controls the air cooling path across the cooling fins of the piston cylinder walls. It looked...

    What food you bring/not bring into Canada

    We’re planning our trip from Tn to Alaska for next year. Looking through threads I have not seen what you can or cannot bring food wise in your rv. Looking on line my initial findings is there’s quite a few things you can’t bring. I’m looking for on hand experiences. Thanks, Mike

    Ela Campground near Cherokee NC.

    We came up for a Slingshot gathering in Maggy Valley. Stayed at Ela Campground. We tend to like it. Nothing fancy at all, but the rates reflect that. Nice people and easy to get to all kinds of places in the area. Close to Deep Creek Winery as well. Mom enjoyed that. She bought 2 cases of...

    Well, at it again. Some more little upgrades.

    Made some upgrades to the MH. Back last year as some of you know I removed the king bed and put in a queen and added lower bed storage that I did not have before. When installing I added an additional 12v power source available for the future. Now I got a chance to use it. I added to wall...

    Found Crack In Fender

    Doing some work around the shop and walked around the RV and looked down behind the front wheel. We had some extreme cold last night which is the only thing I could think of that caused the crack. The fender is plastic, not fiberglass. Guess I’ll figure out how to fix this now.

    What I found during oil change

    Hey guys, I changed my oil the other day in my RV getting ready for 2023. What found was my oil filter was only finger tight. Literally no effort to spin it off with 2 fingers. I am really surprised it was not gushing oil. The previous oil change was done at a dealer. Now this is actually...

    First time use of newly installed side lights

    In another post I showed how I installed side lights in front of the front tires to give me better light while turning. Instead of wiring to the turn signals, I wired the to another switch so I could turn them on at anytime. Glad I did. On the way back from Fl last weekend it was a cloudy and...
