We really miss the large tanks on the Foretravel. We're learning to deal with having half the tank capacity, though, in exchange for 10% of the maintenance costs. -
In a thread currently running on the fulltime forum, one of our newer forum members, LiiveWorkDream has given some information that to me is so important that it needs to be shared where it will be read by as many members as possible. I am quoting the information he has shared below. I may be the only reader who didn't know this but since I suspect that it isn't common knowledge, am repeating it here as I believe that it is important for us to know. We are not currently traveling but we have traveled with a dog on most of our RV travels as well as when traveling by car. I also just checked to see if the vet clinic we use at present is so accredited and it is! 😊 -
I would say that the answer to that is pretty obvious? There is a very active Escapee Facebook page and while don't know how active it is, there is also an Xscapers Facebook page which I suspect is active as well. For some reason, even though there are still many new Escapee members who are retired and thus might be less than 60 years of age and most would be under 70, yet the number of active participants in this forum continue to dwindle. If half of the active members have responded to this poll, that means that we are down to 120 members still active. When I first joined this forum I don't know how many participants there were but I do know that there were 50 or more posts per day and now we seldom have more than 5. I know why the number of participants of age 70 and above are declining as I know or have known many of them and most that have left have stopped RVing and more than a few are deceased. What I haven't been able to figure out is why we don't seem to attract the newly retired RV folks and what we can to about it. I wish that I knew an answer!

The longest we've gone is 10 days. This was at Dry Creek campground in Ninilchik, AK. We had solar and with the long days power was not a problem. Our water got low after 10 days so we left. This was a first come no reservation campground and we lucked out to get a waterside site. Gorgeous! This was in our 36' Foretravel. -
We have camped around Bluff several times but not at that place, Valley of the Gods is the most scenic just north. And the top of the Moki Dugway is a also great but I would never pull a long TT up the Moki. Green River? Too generic to know. Flaming Gorge has a number of boondocking areas. And I think it is on the Green River reservoir. Our limit is usually water, and we have a 30 gallon bladder and a drill pump to add water to the tank. We were using jugs but they are a PITA. You can find bladders fairly cheap on Amazon. We can generally go 7-9 days on the Black tank. The gray tank can sometimes be legally dumped in the field but not always.
