RE: Mail Service? What's available?
We use the Goodsam mail service when we go to Alaska. They are here in Florida.
Goodsam Mail Service
What we like is they will scan any mail and email it. They trash all of the junk mail. Only once a month or so do we have them forward the actual mail to us.

RE: Wi-Fi extenders
We have been using the PDQ Connect "Bullet" for years. It can pick up wifi and boost the signal from miles away. We use it on our RV and our Boat. My favorite feature is that it sets up a wireless network inside your RV or Boat for printing and connecting devices. Since all of our devices have logged into the PDC Wifi hub once, all I have to do is log the PDQ into the wifi signal that has the best signal. Automatically all of the other devices log on.
I believe PDQ Connect now calls the newest product PDQ Rocket.
My disclaimer as usual; the Wifi is only as good as the internet provided by the marina, campground, etc.

RE: New and improved Trip Planner
If you are referring to the Goodsam trip planner, Goodsam severed their affiliation with Rand McNally. We gave up on the GS Trip Planner and moved to RV Trip Wizard. It has been working perfectly for us.

RE: 4-Corners
Not much to do there. When we lived in Colorado we like visiting Mesa Verde, so we went down to 4 corners a couple of times.
To burst your bubble, the private marking is not really 4 corners. It is somewhere else. I guess the surveys in the 1800's were not as accurate as today.

RE: Ways to Save on Fuel at Pilot Flying J
You need to swipe your credit card first. It then asks for your loyalty card. However, the largest discount (14 cents on diesel) is available if you get the Pilot/Flying J/Goodsam credit card.

RE: Rv Trip Wizard question
You use the RV Life App. Available Free in the app store. Middle tab on the bottom will bring up all of your planned trips.

RE: Any Denver area C owners? Alignments???
You don't say what chassis you have, but we used to take our 2010 36FK Seneca to John Elway Chevy (old Burt) on South Broadway. I believe they can do the chassis work. We had the C5500 Chassis.

RE: Please read the signs....
We were coming back from Denali last year back to Wasilla following two rentals. Both drivers were not from Canada or the US, but had rented from Canadream. They stuck to the speed limit EXACTLY. The problem was they were driving exactly KPH instead of MPH.
I thought I was going to go nuts. It took almost the entire trip down to get around them.

RE: Saving Planned Trips
I finally gave up on the GS Trip Planner. My issues:
1. Cannot upload to a GS GPS
2. Cannot save a trip.
3. Only shows campgrounds on route. The old one you could see all campgrounds with a click.
4. Keeps randomly changing the route.
5. Limited to 25 stops.
We purchased the RV Trip Wizard (annual subscription). So far the app and website are awesome. We have completely planned our 2020 Alaska trip and are ready to make reservations and key stops.

I got info that the GS Trip Planner is still work-in-progress and promises features inputted by members (???).
Looking forward to getting update on your Alaska trip on a separate thread.
I kept hearing it's not doable on RV and people kept on suggesting a pricey ferry in between to make it viable..
This is our 4th trip up from Florida. We spend the summer but do something different up or back.

RE: Looking for long-term stay west side of Denver...
Have you looked at Dakota Ridge on Colfax? I had a buddy stay there about a year in a 5er while his house was being built.

RE: GS Trip planner
We used the old trip planner for years. I am really frustrated that GS took it away. The main reason we used it was to upload the trip to our GS GPS. That option is gone. As a result, we will just plan the trip on the GPS. I see no reason to use the new GS trip planner.

RE: East Texas love bugs
I cannot tell you about East Texas, but in Florida, this is the worst we have seen them in over 15 years. So far this breeding cycle has lasted nearly a month.

RE: WiFi Extenders that work for public WiFi routers
We run into this periodically with our PDQ Bullet. Sometimes you can repeatably try to open various pages on the internet. It takes patience, but eventually it will redirect to the login page to accept T&C.
Quite a few use Tengointernet. If you type "startmywifi" you will get the login.

RE: Alt Route to Edmonton
My last two trips up we crossed a sweetgrass. Easy and fast. There are not many pullouts where you can camp for free in Canada legally.
Our last stop in the US the last two times was in Shelby. We stop in Edmonton for a couple of days before heading up to Dawson Creek.

RE: Max tire pressure
In November, we drove a car up to Michigan for Thanksgiving (cold PSI was normal when we left). The temps got down into the negative teens. The low air pressure warning came on so I filled them to the cold level which was 44PSI. When we got back down to Southwest Florida, the cold PSI was 65 PSI. I guess you can add to the discussion...also depends on the ambient air temperature also.
