Forks, WA
Looking for a 1 night CG in or near Forks. TT, wife and I will be traveling from Sequim to Ocean Shores going counter-clockwise around the Peninsula, and I want to do it in 2 days.
At my age I do not want to tow the Everett to Olympia I-5/405 quagmire ever again.

RE: Men - Get your PSA checked!
I was diagnosed with prostate cancer July, 2020. Had prostate removed September 1. Surgeon said the margins looked good…translation: he was confident he got all the cancer. Post-surgery my PSA was done every 3 months…0.0 PSA until Aug, ‘21 when it numbers raised and they doubled every three months after that. Lots of tests, etc, and they recommended prostate-bed radiation treatments. I just completed 8 weeks of radiation and that was no walk in the park…in 3 months they will text my PSA to see if the cancer is gone.
Don’t mess with it guys. My advice: at the very least, get “the old finger up the kazoo” routine during your yearly physical so he can check the prostate size which is an “indicator”. From there it’s your call, but if you need a good Urologist get to one…prostate is his speciality. A Prostatectomy/recovery and radiation treatments/recovery are absolutely no fun.

Need new tires
I need new tires for my 3/4 ton Silverado (see my signature). Looking for recommendations for both towing and for general use. LT 245 75/R17E. I am usually towing approx. 7000-9000 lbs.
With diesel fuel approaching $6/gallon in my area I won’t be towing too far from from home anytime soon. Because of that I am not willing to pay top $$$ for the best tires anymore. My goal now is to be safe and to not get stranded somewhere.
Your helpful thoughts are appreciated.

MaxxFan 7500K
When I bought our brand new Outdoors RV 24RLS three years ago, I remember wondering why we would need automated remote control roof vents + fans, but I figured it’s a cool feature that won’t cause problems. Boy was I wrong.
Just returned home from our first 2022 “shakedown” trip this past week. All is shipshape, EXCEPT for the MaxxAir 7500K roof vents + roof fans. The remotes all have new batteries, and none of the remotes work. I am not able to raise the vents…nothing works. During our five nights out we listened to each vent “chirp” at us every few minutes throughout each day and night, and every so often green lights in the ceiling assembly would light up brightly and then go out.
I have re-read my manual, researched online, and now I am writing this missive, hopefully to get good advice here. My next step will likely be to contact the RV Dealer where we purchased it for possible (expensive?) service. Right now I believe I would just like to have these space age roof vents removed and replaced with the good old fashioned, uncomplicated manual vents and fans that always worked for us in the past.
