RE: Bring beer into Canada
We've had more than the allowed duty free amount hard liquor and declared it crossing at Sweetgrass still had more than the allowed when we crossed into Alaska. I can only assume as through travelers they aren't as strict and no duty was charged.

RE: Demco Glide RIde pinbox discontinued
We had a GlideRide on our Hitchhiker and loved it. We did have some stress cracks after 50,000 miles but were sent replacement parts at no cost. Now have MorRyde pinbox on our DRV no problems yet 25,000 miles so far, but I still prefer the GlideRide . As for Demco no longer producing pinboxs they lost the 5er manufacturers that used their boxes when they closed their doors.

RE: Black tank splash shield problem
Just filling the bowl to the rim every time a flush is necessary will fill your tank quickly. Better to find out how much your bowl holds. I dump when our black tank gets to 80 percent which is 40 gallons of a 50gal tank. After dumping I fill the bowl twice and flush to prime the tank which registers 8 percent or 4 gallons. Anyone doing 2gallon flushes aren't going to be boondocking for long.

RE: Looking into a 2017 Grand Design
I take it you are new to RVing. Grand Design has been around for a while and rather popular. We never bothered looking at them as none of their models suited us.

RE: Oh shoot. The toilet foot pedal fell off.
Throw away society but don't think I could hold it till Amazon could come through. Go with the new potty.

RE: Thermostat settings
Our Dometic has high, medium, low and auto. Only time the fan stops is when the desired temp is reached on auto. We run both the AC units on high till night then place them on auto. We're in the mountains and the temps will drop below the set AC temp at night.

RE: Help with Sewer Donut size
Not much difference whichever one is cheaper. Never knew there were two different sizes have the one I received with our first 5er 9 years ago it has always fit when needed.

RE: Fifth wheel brakes
I was told if your brakes are adjusted properly you should set the gain at 50% in a safe area drive to 20mph and stomp on the pedal. If your trailer brakes lock reduce gain, if not increase gain and repeat and continue to increase the gain till they lock at 20mph. You then want to back off to the previous gain where they didn't lock at 20mph. As the brakes wear you will need to either adjust the gain or the brakes.

RE: 3 month stays
What color truck should I buy?
Full hookup can range from campgrounds with trees in the middle of nowhere to full on activity laden campgrounds near urban areas
I prefer white or silver.

RE: Chaser and Chasee
We've been doing it for 9 years except for our trips to Alaska. We are full time and volunteer for 3-5 months at a time. Going to look for a new vehicle as our present 2005 Focus has 200,000 miles and not ready to spend a lot of $ on it.

RE: Need list of states where Walmarts have wine!
Not a wine drinker but beer and both of those seem to be sold where hard liquor is not so add Tennessee and Louisiana. Though I can only comment on Nashville and New Orleans as local restictions may apply in other locals.

RE: Costco battery?
What series battery do you presently have, if it has served you well the same should work in the future.

RE: Camping or Glamping?
Well we went from a tent to a 5th wheel, but also from a weekend camper to full time. We no longer consider ourselves campers we're RVers. If having a washing machine, dishwasher, satellite dish and other amenities of a S&B's is what you call glamping, l guess we do.

RE: Drinking Campground Water...
Ten years full time drink the water everywhere that it's tested and passed as potable. You can always add a shot of Knob Hill or CC to purify and improve the taste.

RE: Android Tablet Question
Thanks for your reply, stickdog. Keep in mind I'm using an android tablet, not a phone. Swiping down from the top of the screen only reveals some notifications, nothing about locking the screen..
Mr Ed, my phone and my tablet are both Android and the icon s are the same on both and can be accessed from the front top of either device.

RE: Android Tablet Question
Don't know your brand but on both my Moto4 and my Samsung Galaxy tab I can lock the screen. Just pull down the drop screen and the icon for screen lock is there.
