Pilot to 0ne 9

I have had a Pilot/Flying J RV card and it is nice to have. Like getting $.07 a gallon off along with propane and dump discounts. I have a Pilot just a few miles away and get almost all my gas there including for my F-150, I like getting a bill every month.
I pull in today and they are changing out the Pilot signs for "One 9" signs. The guy changing the signs said my Pilot card would not be effected at that station. Has anyone else heard about this or how it will work? Thanks, Jim.

RE: Small Grills

I love my Blackstone 28" I got for the S&B so much I got the 17" for the MH. I am happy with it and it fits in the storage just fine where the 22" might be a pretty tight fit. Jim.

RE: Complaints about Cost of Mhs vs Motels

Care less about comparing motel cost to MH travel, too many things are better in MH. I slept in that bed last night and the night before. my wife and I are both good cooks, we have two dogs that we will not leave at home when we travel.
We normally stay in rest areas or Walmarts while traveling and all the relatives we go to see have space to park while we are there. That just worked great this summer when we went from Indiana to Idaho, much better than in 2003 when we made the same trip by car before MH. That trip had us scrambling to get one of the last rooms in town and some of these last rooms in town were not up to what we would have liked. In fact one stop looking for a room we were told everything was full for 100 miles because of a big rodeo event. Another 100 miles when you are ready to stop for the night is a big kick in the backside. Jim.

RE: Dump Station Observations

My BIL lives in rural northern MN about fifteen miles from the nearest small town. Ten miles of this is unpaved sand based road that is really nasty when wet. He and many of his neighbors want to keep it that way to keep out traffic. Jim.

RE: Blackstone 22" griddle for $99 at Walmart!!

I purchased the 28" to use at home and liked it so much I got the 17" for the MH. Still have a small charcoal grill to cook barbecued stuff but that is all I use it for. Will keep it because I still have to have charcoal for my dutch oven. Best accessory I picked up is a digital thermometer for checking doneness. Thinking about a hand held thermometer for checking griddle temp. Jim.

RE: Thor (ACE) thumbs up or down?

Our 30.1 2015 bought new has had a few issues but nothing bad enough to make us sorry about the purchase. Replaced the outside TV twice then waterproofed the chamber and no more problems. It is an entry level coach and the size and floor plan fit us well so would do it again. Jim.

RE: Leaving dog at campsite

Our dogs are not big barkers but will bark when someone or something is close to the MH. We have a sound activated device that puts out an ultrasonic sound when activated. A couple barks and that is all, they quit. Before we leave I show it to them and that usually keeps them quiet. Jim.

Central Indiana to Idaho

I have the basic route planned out but am looking at an option and would appreciate any feedback on that. We will take I-74 across Illinois then end up on US-20 across Iowa to I-29. Now my first thought is I-90 into Idaho but we could go up I-29 to I-94 until it joins I-90 In Montana.
I also see getting off I-94 at Glendive and going to 200 across most of Montana back to I-90. What should we expect to find in mountains and road conditions etc. if we would try that route?
Not looking for things to do, we are just going out for a short visit so just traveling through and thought maybe go out one way and back the other. That way we would get a little different scenery on the return trip. Road conditions and RV friendly places to overnight, rest areas etc. Thanks, Jim.

RE: 2014 Thor

We have a 2015 ACE 30.1 and have been happy with it. Little things have needed to be addressed but nothing I couldn't take care of myself. Still consider it a good buy and value for the money. Jim.

RE: Overnight stop near Atlanta

Altoona Landing!
IIRC we stayed there once on the way back north and would never stay again. We got there late and left early but the staff seemed nice and the campgrounds were also nice. The problem was the train that ran about every hour all night blowing it's whistle every time. Jim.
