RE: 8 people killed in Utah sand storm
It was the typical low visibility scenario. If people knew how to drive and when not to drive these things would happen less frequently. I was on the road last week and driving in some very low visibility rain. Amazing how many cars and trucks passed me as though the weather was clear.

You need better tires. Try Michelins.

We have unlimited data plans and use our phones as Hot Spots. Works great but is pricey.

RE: Possible Canada boarder opening mid August
I'm not showing my 'papers' to anybody. Not to cross a border, not to fly in a airplane, not ever. Whatever happened to the HIPPA Law about medical privacy?
As a cop, when HIPPA first came out, we were briefed that at an accident scene, for example, the medics weren't allowed to tell us cops if the person they were working had any DUI symptoms. Yet there's folks demanding to see our vaccination 'papers'.

RE: RV campground closing
This has been several years in the making, like around 3-5 years now. Chula Vista was supposed to have closed back in 2019. City of Chula Vista is tearing everything down for a billion dollar convention center, hotel, and other amenities. Up on 'E' street the company developed Costa Vista RV Park, which just opened, as a replacement for Chula Vista RV. So I can you can say the RV park is just moving to a new location.

RE: FOB keys and theft
I didn't read all the previous pages but for me I'm not going to change my FOB use. I have excellent insurance to replace anything stolen. In fact I'm glad I don't use keys anymore.
Back in the 90's, here in Tucson, we were having many auto thefts committed by hoods who had master keys. You see, with all the cars made in Mexico some of the people down there somehow got ahold of the master keys from the factory. They'd then come up to Tucson and look for cars the master key might fit. They trolled the shopping malls and were pretty successful stealing our cars. We had an undercover detail that caught many of the thieves and soon the problem went away.
Actually it's no different with RV's. Myself, my co-workers, and pretty much every RV worker in the country all have access to master keys to pretty much every RV out there. Except Airstream trailers, they do not have master keys. But not to be alarmed, our keys do not work the deadbolts.

RE: Benchmark atlases or ???? Hiking trails on something else?
I do a lot of off-roading and GAIA and ONX are great. Gaia is free and ONX is $29/year. Bottom line is GAIA and ONX work without being connected to a network. I've been way out in the boonies and still the maps still worked. I've never been lost with them.

At work we move all travel trailers without using a WD system. Seems if you have enuf truck WD isn't needed.

RE: This may not be good news for full timers
Well, that article is labeled as an opinion piece; and maybe not factual. The pictures of dismantled cruise ships looks more than a little photo shopped. Air travel? I have a nephew that's a first officer for Delta. He came back from a 5 month air national guard deployment to the Middle East wondering if he'd still have a job. He's flying his maximum hours monthly now. And cruise travel? My wife and I booked a Western Caribbean cruise (bucket list thing for me) in April 2023. Wanted to go in 2022 but the suites (and most of the ship) was booked on the line/vessel we chose.
Maybe he's just pumping the RV industry?Delta announced the hiring of 1,000 new pilots.

RE: This may not be good news for full timers
Keep in mind this report was published Oct 10, 2020. I work for an RV dealer that has monthly shows away from the main store. We've had our monthly shows since Covid began and (even with imposed Covid restrictions on how we operate) the people keep coming out to buy. Initially we were setting sales records. We normally have well over 200 units at a show but lately it's been 60 to 80 units because we can't get inventory fast enuf. Yet RV's are still moving off the lot in big numbers.
With just our stores sales, it makes me wonder where all these people are camping or are their RV's sitting in storage? Last Sept-Oct, wife and I did our big trip from AZ to SD and MI and back. We had no problems booking a space for a few days at destination-type parks such as Mt Rushmore or in the MI UP. The overnight parks we stayed at were nowhere near capacity. One thing I have always done, though, is get a reservation even if it's for the night and rarely is there ever a problem.
On a more local note we've been to some AZ state parks this past year and had no problems getting a last-minute space for a few days. I'm not knocking them but the reason is our north-of-the-border friends are in lockdown and can't come to AZ for the winter.
Bottom line is I haven't really seen any significant increase in RV park usage

RE: Almost lost reservation in AZ park
2 years ago we stayed at Tombstone Territories RV park. A few weeks earlier we and another couple visited the park, picked out the spots we wanted, and went to the office to book the reservation. My receipt for the reservation had the space number printed on it. Yes, I paid a deposit.
Fast forward to the arrival day and I found an Allegro Bus in my space. The office told me the Bus wanted that space so they moved me to another part of the park. The office refused to move the Bus and my paid deposit for that space fell on deaf ears. I complained (an understatement) and the office got me at least back in the original row with our friends.
Why do you suppose an Allegro Bus was given priority over my 5th wheel toy hauler? We haven't been back to that park.

RE: Oregon rules for pumping gasoline & covid-19
People are staying home and making more money than working for it. Besides, I've been to Oregon and have seen the people pumping the gas. Glad I was on a motorcycle where I pumped gas myself.
