RE: How to camp with electric only
We carry a 7 gallon potable water jug that we use to supplement our 65 gallon onboard tank as needed. When the jug is empty, we take it to the nearest community source and refill it. If we need more water in the onboard tank, we just use the winterization suction hose on our pump to refill the onboard tank from the portable jug.
Could you explain this a bit. Do you just open both valves and it flows into, instead of out of, the tank?

RE: should i raise tires off the ground for long storage
Leaving them raised off the ground makes them much easier to steal.

RE: Seasonal in N. Indiana or SW Michigan
You'd better check the rules and talk to them. "All RVs must be 28’ or longer, 10 years or newer or like new condition upon approval from Management."

RE: Android question
Problem with Android, every manufacturer has its own way of doing thing.
That's why I love my Pixel

RE: Android question
Go to "storage" in your settings and look at what is taking up the space. You may find any number of things taking up a lot of space that you could delete or move. Virtually nothing gets saved on the SD card by default so you may need to tweak settings for photos, music, etc.

RE: Michigan state parks extend closures
Ron Olson, chief of the DNR Parks and Recreation Division, said he and his staff are eager to welcome back campers and visitors, but proper safety precautions and maintenance work must happen first.
“We know millions of residents are eager to return to state parks and recreation areas, and we will be here to serve them and make their visits as enjoyable as possible, but we have to open the right way and be certain that facilities and sites are clean, safe and ready to accommodate everyone,” Olson said.
Prep time needed to get facilities ready
To prepare state-managed parks, trails and boating facilities, many important tasks must be completed once nonessential work is permitted. The department anticipates staff can start work May 15 once the stay-at-home order is lifted; prep work is expected to take roughly five weeks. Duties include:
• Acquiring drinking water permits from county health departments.
• Opening bathrooms.
• Hiring and training seasonal staff.
• Ensuring sanitation systems are running efficiently.
• Making progress on infrastructure needs.
• Other operational duties
Looks to me like it's the DNR that's the issue here, not the Governor. They're the ones saying it's going to take them 5 weeks.

RE: Full Hookup Sites on Lake Michigan
"Good info. Personally having lived right on a real beach for a number of years, the beach is not my cup of tea unless it's from a fishing standpoint. I'll take woods and mountains. Alconac has always been on the bucket list. I can live with a parking lot and no shade for a few days to watch the freighters."
Algonac is at least better than a parking lot. In fact the wagon wheel section is wooded with lots of shade. If you want the best view of the freighters though, you'd better have your finger on the reserve button 6 months in advance. The view is across the highway but still great.

RE: Full Hookup Sites on Lake Michigan
If there's a full hookup campground actually on Lake Michigan, I've never heard of it and I live here.

RE: Any new options for casting from a mobile device to a TV?
This is more of a question rather than an answer...but why can't you just get a cheap router and establish a wifi network? You don't really need internet access.

RE: Glacier 2020 vanished
Just wondering if this has anything to do with RVing, at least in my lifetime.

RE: POP vs IMAP..should be easy but..
Your email client can also be set to Delete the message from the server when downloaded.
That doesn't sound right to me. Yes, if you delete the email it's deleted from the server, but if using Outlook or something similar it's still available locally.

RE: What good are low point drains?
Seems like there is some confusion about the difference between low point drains and fresh water tank drain.

RE: Glacier Nat'l Park in 5th wheel, June 2020
Some other food for thought. I preferred the Two Medicine area to Many Glacier. Just seemed less crowded with some nice trails. It's a long day but you could visit Many Glacier when you did GTS road and then camp in Two Medicine to cut down on the driving. The St. Mary's area just seemed to be more of a road junction than a scenic area. I'm not sure about the reservation situation though.

RE: Glacier Nat'l Park in 5th wheel, June 2020
Keep in mind that it's a lot further to get around to St. Mary's. Don't recall for sure but I'm guessing another 90 minutes or more. Decide on how far you want to travel and what you want to see in the park and let that drive your decision.

RE: How to add bleach to fresh water tank
Pump your water bleach solution into your fresh tank using your winterizing system.
hmmm...I always thought that the purpose of this system was to bypass the tank. Certainly it will pump the solution through the water lines, but what about the tank itself?
