RE: Best RV trip planner
To download to Garmin it is easy - first using the trip tool - click send to GPS -click on download csv file - this will place the file on your computer
Then using the Garmin "POI loader" install the file to your Garmin you can get the loader from the Garmin website
Actually this is not true. To upload to Garmin RV785, you must use Garmin basecamp. RV trip wizard creates a GPX file. Garmin rv 785 does not accept cvs files. The GPX file is imported into basecamp which loads it into the the GPS. The problem is it is POI's sorted alphabetically. It is not imported as a multi stop trip. As I said, use the RV trip wizard for planning and just key in the address each morning before departure.

RE: Best RV trip planner
I use RV Trip Wizard. Works great for me. Only caveat is that it is not free.
Best product out there i have use is for at least 6 long trips of 20 stops each
x3. Used it two years now after GS changed theirs. Only issue is that it is difficult to impossible to upload to the Garmin rv785. It it is easier to just key in the address and hit go on the Garmin.
We used it to completely plan our biannual Alaska trip starting in early May.

RE: Camping World Holdings Fiscal Health
I guess his request came true?
Per CNBC: “There’s no doubt that there is probably not many consumers in this country today that are in favor of what has been said in the last couple days and if they are, quite frankly, don’t shop at my business,” said Lemonis, who is CEO of Camping World and host of CNBC’s “The Profit.”

RE: I-70 Colorado in April
We lived in Colorado for 30 years. It can happen anytime, but April will have a pretty high probability. The weather services do provide advanced warning to be able to plan your trip. The worst areas are at the Eisenhower Johnson tunnels and Vail Pass.
Interesting side note, they have been closing eastbound quite often due to sun glare.

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.
