RE: New RV Park in Post Falls ID
I think you had trouble passing math too...I get less than $50 a night without electric?
94 bucks a nite? Think I'll pass
Must be looking a different RV park. All sites have water sewer and electric.

RE: I Bought A Travel Trailer I Had Never Seen (in person)
We bought our previous 5er 250 miles away sight unseen. It was a well respected brand and we had toured the same model at a different dealer. They didn't have the reputation of the dealer we bought from so we just went there to look. Spent 45 mins inside checking it out with the idea of normal usage e.g cooking, storage, sleeping, etc.
When I made the deal 250 miles away it was with no deposit and just a phone shake so to speak. Got all the financing approved and drove over to pick it up. Before signing anything we did a walkthrough and were told if we're not happy then we could walk.
That 5er was the most reliable RV we've owned. had it for 6 years.
So yeah under the right circumstances there's nothing wrong with buying unseen.
You just need to do your research.

RE: Fun Fact about Oregon State Parks
Well we are currently hosting at Silver Falls and have had a almost a full month of snow!
Isn't there a plan in place to add a larger campground? Seems like I read something about it. Haven't been up there in a long time, need to get there again.
Several Oregon State parks inline for upgrades.

RE: Fun Fact about Oregon State Parks
Thanks for the link. We'll be a 4 this summer. Bullards, Ft Stevens, LL Stub and South Beach.
They should've added another statistic. The two State parks that are almost impossible to get into. Harris Beach and Silver Falls. LOL

That has to be beautiful up there with the snow.
I guess hosting is one way to get a spot. LOL.

RE: Seven States to Ban the Sale of Gas Powered Cars in 2035
Works for me. CG's are crowded enough as it is.
You're very welcome. I wouldn't want to run into more people like you.
What is people like me?

RE: Seven States to Ban the Sale of Gas Powered Cars in 2035
Seven States That Are On My Do Not Visit List:
California
Maryland
Massachusetts
New Jersey
New York
Oregon
Washington
After all, I'm just helping them out. Since they don't want the type of vehicles I drive, then they shouldn't mind losing any potential tourist revenue. I just wonder if they are going to stop jets from flying into their states?

RE: Seven States to Ban the Sale of Gas Powered Cars in 2035
Been to china multiple times. Depends on where you are as far as visible polution as well as non visible but noticeable polution (eyes, lungs etc.) Some places are really bad, other places are comparable to most large U.S. cities.
But then in the U.S. places near coal fired plants have pretty bad visible and respiratory pollution as well. it's hard to clean up the pollution from coal fired plants, way worse than NG fired plants.
We had a relatively new coal fired plant about 150 miles from us. Every time we drove by it on our trips east the air was visibly darkened, sometimes pretty bad. Now that they have converted it to NG air is visibly clear whenever we drive by.
If you are referring to the Boardman coal fired plant, it closed two and a half years ago. Don't believe they ever converted to natural gas. The owner, Portland General Electric, closed the plant as it transitions to renewable energy sources, namely wind energy. The emissions of that plant were nothing compared to the sight of the hundreds of ugly wind turbines serving as a visual blight and destroying the view shed of nearby pristine country. Wind turbines have destroyed the beautiful vistas of the Eastern Columbia River Gorge. If the greenies weren't so anti fossil fuels, they would be protesting in the streets to remove the wind turbines.
I find the view driving out near Boardman boring as heck. Miles of rolling brown hills.

RE: purchasing from dealer with a hail "freckled" sidewall
Walk away. There's too many used RV's out there for sale and prices are dropping. Why settle for a possible fixer upper?

RE: The Ford Explorer Men only Edition
Cute. I get it . . . in recognition of Women's History Month. OK.
So, when is Men's History Month, or did I miss it?
The world's population is almost an equal split, 50.4% men, 49.6% women.
So, we should expect equal billing, right?
Women haven't had equal billing ever.
They just got the right to vote in 1920.
They still are told what they can and can't do with their bodies by old white men.
They still get paid less. 18% less.
There might be as many women as men but they sure as heck don't get equal billing IMO.

RE: ADCO Designer Series UV Hydro cover - any feedback?
I've been using the ADCO Aqua Shed for 4 seasons now. It's still in great shape. I used the same model on a previous 5th wheel for 5 seasons and it was still good so I gave it away when we sold the 5er.
I'm in the PNW so we get our fair share of rain in the winter and it holds up well against that and the wind.

RE: State Parks
I just booked into Myrtle Beach for the last week in March 7 days + 1 free. That’s supposed to be a busy week. Going from there to Charleston the next week and no problem there either. Happy camping folks, enjoy your life.
Myrtle Beach in March would hardly be considered as prime time for camping. I think the folks on here are talking about the summer months when the parks get filled up.
Isn't it spring break then?

RE: Electric and ICE forever together?
It will depend on whether auto manufactures have a demand for ICE vehicles. Some demand for ICE cars may go dead if EV's become cost effective. Just like sedans of the past. Ford quit making them and tooled up for SUV's. Same will happen for ICE. Whats popular will be built.

RE: Axle and tire?
Yes, dump your tires if they say Made in China. I run 16" Michelin XPS RIBs. Zero problems in 9 years of towing all over the USA.
Not sure what you paid for them 9 years ago but today they're off the charts expensive.

RE: TT Hitch qutestions
Shocker hitches work as advertised. But aren't really necessary. Most frame failures from Lippert frames are with 5th wheels. Very few ever from TT frames.
What does fail with TT's that have Lippert frame components are the spring hangers, springs, and axles.

RE: State Parks
I’m just wondering if I’m in the minority or the silent majority. I have never experienced the issue of a public campground being booked solid but a substantial number of sites being vacant. But to be fair, I also don’t spend any of my time trying to determine the “booked” vs. “occupied” status of the hundreds of campsites over the week that I’m there (I got no time for that). In other words, I won’t be calling the governor, it’s not an issue to me.
True. Most of the CG's, State or Forest Service types only have 3-4 out of 30-35 no shows. Not really anything to get upset about.
YMMV depending on region.

RE: State Parks
#1 These are government campgrounds run by government workers or government contractors. They. Don't. Care. Reserved sites are paid for and they don't care if the site sits empty. All your whining isn't going to make much difference.
#2 Increase your options. I still haven't figured out why so many of you people think private campground owners are the spawn of Satin. There are also plenty of city/county parks that are under used. Go. Someplace. Else. I have found that using a 50% off discount (Passport America or Happy Camper) often gives me a w/e/s site for the same or less than the state/federal parks w/e sites. Once all the fees are added in, I have discovered that many public parks have priced themselves out of my preferred budget. Sometimes, you just need to go camping someplace different.
