  1. I'm not seeing a link to a YouTube video.
  2. I don't have an answer re weight but, rather than shoveling, have you considered a cordless leaf blower?
  3. Many state & national parks were built decades ago when "big" RVs didn't exist. VERY few have been updated to accommodate new, longer RVs. It's not unusual for there to be private campgrounds / RV parks fairly close to state & national parks where they can often handle today's longer rigs. As spindrift recommends, start with the HDT Resource Guide. There are also lots of apps that offer a wealth of information (one of my favorites is AllStays Camp & RV)
  4. I'm not familiar with the area in regards to safety but, is it not possible to park the Jeep in the passenger parking area for several hours?
  5. Carl, most routers have a tiny reset button, often on the back of the unit. While it has power, press and hold said reset button in for about 30 seconds. A "tool" like a paper clip is often small enough to press said reset button in. Once reset, it should show up on a computer as a basic / generic router in which you can enter the ID and password you choose. From what I see in the picture, you may have to remove the weather proof cover to gain access to the reset button. Here are some links to WiFi Ranger set up and Control Panel: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=wifiranger+control+panel&t=chromentp&ia=web
  6. Sad news. Condolences to his wife and family.

    As long as nobody was injured, it wasn't that bad of a day (no, bruised egos don't count).
  8. THIS How is your Volvo 780 registered? If it's registered as an RV, Truck Home or something OTHER than a commercial vehicle, I would doubt that a CDL would be REQUIRED. There are drawbacks to having a CDL. BEFORE you get a CDL (and especially a "CDL-A") be sure you FULLY understand what you're signing up for. When I lived in NY anyone could buy a printed copy of the NYS Vehicle & Traffic Laws at any DMV office for $1.00 + sales tax!. My agency got copies of "last year's" book which they handed out to LEOs (for $1.07, I'd buy my own NEW copy when they were available). Maybe your state has a similar deal?
  9. Has the ECR "officially" died?
  10. Re that photo; I sure do hope the owner / user did some MAJOR upgrading of the frame / suspension & body (which I somehow doubt happened). I see that there IS a ladder on the back but, trailer builders sometimes (often) do the BARE MINIMUM when it comes to such installations. I don't know if it would help but, back in the 1970s, GM specially modified Chevy Vegas (I believe that was the model) so that 30 Vegas could be loaded vertically on a special rail car (Vert-a-pac). That unique situation allowed GM to get Vegas to the west coast at a particular price point. I don't believe that was ever replicated to ship other vehicles. https://www.motortrend.com/features/chevrolet-vega-vert-a-pac/
  11. Are you sure that you don't have the first electric HDT in the group? Glad you're OK!

    Since it did fire up with a spritz of ether, did you think to try running some Seafoam through the carb? I've seen Seafoam do wonders.
  13. Congratulations on a successful long haul maiden voyage! Sounds like you've been an EXCELLENT HDT RV Ambassador.
  14. Wow! There are some sections of road that could easily be undermined by flooding.
