The Sault is a biiit east for us. Have to do it somewhere further west for us to make it. We're tied all summer to our RV park, but an off-season rally sounds interesting.

thunder bay?   not much but wheat after that until you reach the rockies.

Darryl&Rita  we usually meet at Billr's campground in SS Marie (ontario) on our way to points further north.

Nigel and I will have to have a Canadian "rally"  we'll hoist a real beer for you guys

😍

Cant this year ,border closed ,2 week quarantine ,vaccine not until maybe june ,too many road blocks.

I agree, I think it is going to be a good seller for Ford.

sold out for the year apparently ,so good guess.

try the canadian border web sites 

I doubt you can drive over ,snowbirds determined to get south have to ship their RV across commercialy and then fly over and meet the unit stateside.

seriously doubt we can travel by road until later this year, and the 2 week quarantine will be in effect even longer possibly. 

lawyers   😎

If I ever saw a rig identical to mine it would spook me out 

I read somewhere that the LCM will 'learn' the new conditions (might of been a u tube vid) search for a 'number of starts' or just wait a bit like Nigel suggests

I like it!

The less lifting the better ,mine were low and behind the drives - backbreaking.

They are now beside the car ,same height .Wish they were under the car,  beneath the car tires.

next time

always thought they looked good in blue

my struts are new and if you push it and let gravity take over it will slam shut and lock,I  lower mine  never letting go and slowly lower it to contact -it will not lock however .

I then walk from side to side and with the palm of my hand push and click/latch it .the small cracks at the hinges have never increased in size in the 8 years of ownership.

once it is fixed -stop letting it slam to close/lock- lower it slowly and walk around and click it shut right to left.

fibreglas is infinitely repairable but why do it constantly

What Rick said ,don't have to post when he reads my mind.🤐

ha  do it right the first time, ultimately cheaper .

Nice ! 

A cushioned hitch(air or rubber) should be on a 'list', (the list never gets smaller).Listen to Henry ,if the air in the trailer  bags is approaching 70 psi -they might as well be solid there just isn't enough room for bigger/squisher bags - your choice .

Down the road from you is a campground owned by a long time ontario HDT'er he has his finger on the resources and what's easy or not because of your location, wait for the season to slow a bit and call him.

When you get a chance get your campground into the resourse  guide as a good HDT stop - on the transcanada  etc etc.

Well, to my surprise Lowe's had what was labeled "Water Resistant Outdoor Plywood" on their racks today.  No pressure treated..... just this "new" stuff.  No price posted.  Nancy could not find her favorite "Oat Bran" bread in any of 4 different grocery stores.  BTW - big recall on hand sanitizers (which ones??) because they "may" contain some trace amounts of methanol rather than pure ethanol.  Tell me Doc - if you are not drinking it what difference does it make?  Gotta find news somewhere 😗.

same happened here ,once the contractor found he to wait a day or so for 2x4 s ,They swore 'never again' 

the store told me contractors now buy enough wood for the next 3 houses and store at there own yard ......... and starts a cycle of shortage.

just in time will be forgotten for a while ,in every industry

Crap - don't be a stranger if possible come see the group ,it would be like missing a finger or something.

D12 with 3:73  12 speed freedomline,for the last 7 years I have got from low 8 's to a little over 9.

Wind is a factor and your ground speed, one of the best runs ever was coming back from Fl this spring , Even thought I way exceeded my usual speed a flag stiffening tail wind had my avg at 9.2.

that was a full tank(s) from Macon to Detroit,got home with a 1/4 left.

I use the lie o metre because i checked it and its close enough for my use

FYI  a recent tragedy - the fiero museum in midland mi was flooded 2 weeks ago

remove your hats  and bow your heads😢

words of wisdom?

Humm  there is always a newer, better,  ......  anything ,and if you get it the satisfaction only last a short while ,usually only a year.

There is always a bigger,stronger,tougher  competitor. try to find contentment in what you got ,better by far then the millions of pick-ups out there of any age and type .

Most important paid for, and gets you there to enjoy our environment.The rest is just chasing 'style' - futile and expensive.
