Definitely a train fan. Was this the Hell's Gate area of BC?

RE: Leaving potable antifreeze in the system
Kenny, do you have a part number for the compressor to city water hose? I checked Home Depot's website and cannot find that. Thanks.
I'm sorry but I don't.
I bought it 10 years ago to winterize a small motel with only about 10 rooms.
Here's several different ones from Amazon.
air fitting adapters for RV
Thanks. I should have looked on Amazon, but wasn't sure what to call them. I have the small plastic adapter, but have been concerned that the air hose pulling downward might break the fitting on the camper. This seems like a better arrangement.

RE: Goodyear Endurance Tires VS Carlisle Trail HD Tires
I put the Carlisle Trail HDs on my tt a few years back. I've towed the tt to Alaska and back with no issues. I did move up to load range D from the stock C, but will buy again when I need tires.

RE: Full Time For Six Months
I think there's enough interest. Tell us your experiences and opinions, a lot of us will read your thread.
Not everyone who reads them will respond so, you won't know how many read what you posted.
I'll second this post. I probably wouldn't have responded, but thought I would to add one more "read".

RE: alaska 2021 ???
We plan on going in 2021 if all is well, this would make our third trip up to Alaska. we'll be entering through Nagara Falls this and traveling east towards Alaska. For those who never have been to Alaska allow lot of time to travel it's a long drive.
I'll bet it was a really long drive to Alaska going east from Niagara Falls. You might want to stop and ask directions before you get to Nova Scotia.
If Columbus would have stopped and asked directions, he never would have discovered America.
Just so you know, Columbus didn’t discover America...about 500 years before him Leif Eriksson set up shop in what is now Canada, which is part of America.
And about 15,000 years before Leif and his troop showed up the asians walked over from Siberia to North America.
Now that’s what my history teacher told us back in the early 70’s... but... things may have changed since then, who knows...
grin
Soup.
...but did they stop and ask directions?:)

RE: How do you pay your bills on the road on extended trips?
As others have said, we put as many bills as possible on auto pay. We had a couple that we could not do that way, so I brought a few checks along with us. On extended trips, I bring a small laser printer so we can have hard copies of the itinerary that we make up the night before.

RE: Did I ruin my water heater, please help!
That looks like the repeater for the TST Tire Pressure Monitoring System. Did one of those come with your tt?

RE: Bathroom on the road?
We were thankful to have a full fresh water tank when we had to sit on the Sterling Hwy for 23 hours last August waiting for firefighters to get the wildfire under control before we could proceed.

RE: Replace flat tire with Torflex suspension
Another Trailer Aid user. I also use it when I repack wheel bearings. On my trailer, there is only one spot, directly between the wheels where I can get a jack because of the underbelly covering. The trailer aid, IMO, is safer out in the field where it can be difficult to get a solid, level place to put a jack. YMMV

RE: heated mattress on forest river flagstaff
Thanks for the posts.My concern was how the heating element was attached and if it is readily able to be disconnected to remove.Since the TT is still in production I am going to take a long shot and see if they could keep the mattress and give me a maxxair fan over the bed.:-)
No problem getting rid of the heated mattress. Our Rockwood came with that. We put a 2" memory foam on top and still used the heat. It was slower to get to the point where you could feel it, but it did work. A year or so ago, we got rid of both, got a new mattress and a heated mattress pad and like this much better.

RE: Tested your LP detector lately?
It shouldn't be outdated yet- I replaced it in June of 2016. I guess I should look at it next year, though.

RE: Industrial Strength Liars
I dont want to say EVERY RV dealer/salesman is a crook as I know of 2 that i consider to be honest locally. I also dont think that trying to make the most $$ off of a sale is anything immoral at all. Thats just Business. +, I never even got to the price/quote stage with any of these dealers.
97 percent of salesmen give the rest of us a bad name.

RE: Tested your LP detector lately?
Mine went off at 5:30 in the morning on my last day at the campground last week. I turned off the LP at the tanks and we made the trip home. I tested all connections with both bubble solution and a gas detector and found nothing. I was still concerned enough that I bought a gas pressure gauge and tested again. No pressure loss after 3 hours. It's things like your link that make me so cautious.
I still have no idea what caused the alarm.

RE: hauling trailer to Alaska
There is a lot of good advice already given. We did a 10 week trip last summer. Due to previous commitments, we couldn't leave until mid-July. We were concerned about the "rainy season" but it didn't happen last year. We spent 23 hours stopped on the Sterling Hwy by Cooper Landing at a road block because of wild fires ahead. It was nice having a generator then. Several people asked to plug in to charge their phones, etc. Wadcutter mentioned about seeing the mountain in Denali Park. We took the longest bus trip, and saw a lot of wild life, but not the mountain. We did see it several times from a pullout just east of Cantwell on the Denali Hwy. We stayed a number of nights at the campground in Cantwell as we had to have a new converter shipped up from the lower 48 when ours went bad. It's all part of the trip. I'm glad we went. Don't know if we'll get the chance again. One good thing about going later in the season, we were able to see the northern lights at Fairbanks 3 different nights. We had been told if we were in Fairbanks in Sept there is a good chance of seeing them. I came to the conclusion early on that you can't do it all in one trip, so focus on the things that mean the most to you.
