RE: yellow stone np
The trip from Buffalo over the BigHorns is outstandingly beautiful. From Ten Sleep to Cody - not so much. From Cody up the canyon to the Park is great.
We have come in that route several times and see something new each trip.

RE: Length and public campsite availability lately?
Feel your pain. We had problems with Hunting Island SP. The description of the sites say something accommodation for up to 30 feet. Then the actual size of the site we were looking at was huge. Like 35 or 40 feet wide and 60 feet long. I ended up calling them and was told that those measurements were the size of the entire site. I could not understand if that was part of the brush and undergrowth, but apparently it was. We did not get a site because there was none that would match our time off

James Island County Park (and campground)
We have stayed here twice over the years and each time we go the GPS sends us on a different route. Each time I find myself crossing into other lanes avoiding limbs hanging over the road. It has been over three years since we have been and my daughter wants us to do a family camping trip there. I went to Google Earth and asked for directions.
Danged if GE didn't send me on another route from I-26 to the CG. Just checking, I did a street view and traveled the marked route. Better, they have redone and widened some streets etc, but still the limbs are hanging over one of the cross streets that gets us over the park.
Do you folks have a specific route you use to avoid limbs? Would you share it?

RE: Overhang
Overhang or is it Overhung?
The overhang is too long on that overhung RV. Having realized what he had bought, the owner started drinking and now he is hanging over the toilet in an hungover condition.

RE: Campground Breakers - EDITED
No advanced degrees here. I got tossed from the third grade because it looked bad to have my son pass me to the fourth. I did spend the night in a Holiday Inn once however. ;) ;)
We stayed the night in a CG in SD with a weak breaker. Progressive unit kept denying power. Owner changed the breaker and said the breaker was weak ( a spring maybe?) Power came right up with the new breaker in place.
That likely adds nothing to the discussion however.

RE: Hwy 308 Red Lodge MT
We did that ride in 2017 up chief Joseph in the silver gate to Yellowstone a ways with a stop in Cooke city , neat little town. Then we road the bear tooth to the red lodge. Wanted a quicker way back to Cody so we took the 308 to 72 back to Cody. Stayed at buffalo bill state park. The wind was really whipping on the bear tooth and catching the fairing on my street glide, would have been a more enjoyable ride on the soft tail. Can't wait to go back.
We stayed in Cody. There are several good places to stay there, but we have stayed a couple or three times at the (not sure on this spelling ;) ) Absaroka Bay. Very nice folks. If you are there in the summer, you may get offered a fresh tomato. (Important to an ole Southern boy a long way from home) Not the biggest RV park we have stayed in but very adequate. Short distance to fast food, groceries and downtown. Have a beer and a meal at the Irma Hotel. Wish we were going to be there with you

RE: Hermosa, SD to Cody WY
We have gone from Hermosa through Custer SP and the town of Custer, caught US 16 there, thru Newcastle to Moorcroft to Gillette and then to Buffalo and over the Big Horns on 16 to Cody. Took longer, but the ride was interesting.

RE: Hwy 308 Red Lodge MT
Cody to Red Lodge then back down 308 to 72 and back to Cody is a great ride. We have done that loop a couple of three times Last time we were up the way (I think in June??) there was a couple of lakes up at the top still frozen and the streams were running flood. Got several great pictures of the Beartooth.

RE: 2006 Thor Hurricane 34N roof air
a little more info please? Is this a ducted unit or does it blow straight down out of the unit? If ducted, it may be the duct had become disconnected from the unit.

RE: Satelite Internet
"My husband likes to go places where there is 'no cell service'... he'd like to start taking me with him, in our travel trailer. I am pretty hooked on webbed surfing, and it would be great to be able to also connect to Netflix, etc. for TV. Which would mean I need unlimited wifi."
Am I missing something here? All the mentions of Verizon and other cell plans etc. How will the OP use this if there is NO cell service?

RE: Clingmans Dome and Cades Cove Smoky Mountains
I am with others. Getting to Clingmans is OK, parking and getting thru the parking lot may be another issue.
Cades Cove loop is best done in a small car or Jeep type vehicle. Sometimes you can drive past a (pick one) bear, deer, horse, turkey jam and sometimes you might need to drop a wheel off the pavement to get past some of these guys who are amazed at the wildlife there. Parking for a small rig will be hard to find and get in/out of.

RE: When is the Robo Call Legislation taking effect?
Interesting enough, we got "0" calls yesterday, none. Sometimes we might get 6 or more a day. Yesterday, none. I asked my social media bunch about theirs and several said 'none' and many said just a couple where there is usually 4 to 6. Has something happened to slow and/or stop this? Good news whatever the reason

RE: Purchasing a camp site in Georgia
Not near Savannah, but River Vista in Dillard, Ga sells lots. This is just off US441 at the Ga/NC line. We used to stay there quite a bit, but they began stuffing sites everywhere they could find a space big enough and the place lost it's charm for us.

RE: Gardiner Montana
I cannot recall the name, but just north of town, right beside the river is a nice clean looking park. I was told a lot of the people working FT in YS stay there. We did not stay there, but it was/is filed for future reference

RE: White Streaks from Fridge
On a previous coach, the tech left the drain tube fro the fridge out of the evaporator cup and it would run out of the opening in the wall and down the side. Thank goodness it was sealed well and water was not running into the wall.

RE: Trail Ridge Road - Will It Be Open...
Has the dirt Trail Ridge (one way to the visitors center) opened yet - and how much damage was done to the surface during the winter? That is an interesting drive if one has an afternoon.
