RE: Travel Trailer Newb question RE: WDH
if buying new, press the dealer for a free one. get some sway control too. good change you can get it out of them. don't bring it up until you are done talking price.

RE: Zoning Law
^ that's a winning ticket. cant tell you she cant live with you. nothing wrong with going into your rv, it gets sketchy when you are living in it. this bend in reality gets you around it.

RE: Survey for online reservation vs old school phone and email
1- is it worth your trouble. to reserve online? No phone or email? Secure deposit and payment? instant confirmation?
I reserve on a map online unless there is really no other option I don't want to call and I don't go if I don't have a reservation
2- Are you OK with a site lock fee?
yes as long as its not excessive
3- Are you OK with an equal or better site we designate should the system shift your site to optimize our occupancy? If you did not designate a specific site, area or need?
no I book a site I expect that site
4- Accessibiliy in our camp is of highest concern therefore, we have locked out certain sites for reservation for staff, or because those sites have special needs like a dang good driver . Call or email if the system tells you no availibility. Might not be true.
list requirements per site like the Ontario Parks website does. you get filtered results based on what you fill in. their site is actually good (though their management isn't) if you cheat the filters and end up with a site that isn't good for you, that's your fault.
5- Groups can reserve differently. For adjoining sites and cabins, a reservation locks all those requested for a period until each party confirms with administrative hold.
rules are rules, we often book multiple sites, just means we do it together at the same time.
Votes please line by line.
comments welcome
Id recommend checking out the Ontario parks site. their reservation system is great.

RE: Zoning Law
easier to ask forgiveness than permission. don't cause trouble and have a backup plan for when it goes south

RE: First trip with new baby advice
my daughter camped at 4 months old (born mid winter or it would have been sooner). Son camped at 7 weeks (did 2 weeks in NICU or it would have been sooner) babies are easier than kids to camp with. they need the same things. Keep bugs and sun off, control their temp. we had a packNplay for the camper with a bug net that fit nicely over it. it was crib at night and came out to be a play area during the day.

RE: Towing a 2640lb 16ft TT with a Ford Ranger 4.0L?
don't expect good mileage with the 4.0. I would go with a modern half ton if you are worried about mileage. any will handle that trailer even with the smaller motors. watch payload if you are living in it especially with older smaller tow vehicles. my 2002 jeep WJ would have been a good match for that trailer also though not the most efficient vehicle.

RE: flying with kids
thanks guys wife and I aren't new to flying just new to flying with kids. both kids are excited.
they will both have a tablet loaded with games and movies and headphones. we will have gum. they will get a Dramamine dose before boarding. and we will have gum and sippy cups (that make them suck to help pop their ears)
both kids get a window as I pre booked wife and daughter (5) are in front of me window and middle and son (3) and I are directly behind her. not anticipating trouble just trying to do my homework and make it as enjoyable for them as possible. flight is just a hop (Detroit to Orlando) just shy of 3 hours. flying spirit so small seats and no perks but the flying bus is yellow haha

RE: What is going on with this roof?
hopefully you have somewhere sheltered to work on it. if not id start with that. next strip out all the appliances and plumbing and everything useful. then demo the rotted box off the frame. next service the frame, this is a good time to clean up any rust and weld in any supports and patches. then start building the box you want in the configuration you want. reinstall the appliances electrical and plumbing as you build. then put a lid on it and cover it.
been there, I wouldn't do it again and I did ok with mine (bought for 2k, spent 1100) sold for 1800 5 years later.
don't expect to be using it this season unless you have WAY more time than I do to work on it.

RE: Purchasing First RV- would like some advice...
