Welcome and Florida, southern, has a very nice weather that time of year.

Is the AC on all of the time? Plastic bins will hold moisture. I also have very little clothes. All I ever wear is cargo shorts, tee shirts and good flip flops. If I need more then that I stayed to long up north!

Water filter for drinking water only?
whj469 replied to Scoobydo Too's topic in Technical Tips and Tricks
Sorry, but I did read that those cheep bottles can have issues if they get hot? How could they not get hot in the back of a tractor trailer? -
Canadian watching tv in a motorhome in the USA
whj469 replied to Nanny&Timbo's topic in Beginning RVing
If you go to the Forest River Owner's Group Forum on line you will be able to post in the Canadian section and I am sure that you will get good advice. After all we all know that Canadian's are the nicest people anywhere! Good Luck -
Water filter for drinking water only?
whj469 replied to Scoobydo Too's topic in Technical Tips and Tricks
I sure hope that the bottled water doesn't come from China! Some come from a Swiss Company but I have not seen any from China, yet. -
Water filter for drinking water only?
whj469 replied to Scoobydo Too's topic in Technical Tips and Tricks
We have a filter on incoming water and a filter in the refrigerator for the ice and water on front of refrigerator. We do drink the water but I prefer bottled water or water from one of my deep wells that we take with us but when we spend the summer in the UP of MI we drink the water from the RV park. It is well water from a well near Lake Huron, also good water. When someone told me that some of those water tanks were made in China I really didn't want to drink water from the tanks. -
If you are good with a 19 year old unit?

I am with Progressive because they were the cheapest I could find and I have read very good reviews on their claims process.

If the Goodyears have served you well stay with them. That is what I use in the same size for my 2018 Cardinal fiver at 42 feet long.

I think the Dish is lower in cost then DirecTV and that may be the reason that they are more popular? I had been "hot spotting" my cell phone for internet but last summer, 2018, I got an ATT internet device for internet but of late the price is way to much! Hundreds of dollars! When I call they tell me that is all I can get, 50 Gigs per month! I need to get rid of ATT for internet.

A pleasant border-crossing experience
whj469 replied to docj's topic in Sharing the Fulltime Lifestyle
I have never had issues with crossing the Canadian Border. Lots of times! I have never had problems with crossing into Mexico, mostly in the sixties and seventies, lots of times. I would travel to Baja today probably not other parts of Mexico. They only issues where with the US Border Patrol coming back to the US. Issues in El Paso, TX and the Texas Lower Rio Grande Valley. Yes, in my many years of crossing the US Borders the only assholes were US Border Patrol. Sad to say that! -
Comparing a 5th Wheel and a Diesel Pusher Motorhome
whj469 replied to GR "Scott" Cundiff's topic in General RV Information
For me it is how they are used. I was once told that you buy a motor home to drive and a trailer to park. I go to the UP of MI for the summers, about four months, we have two RV lots there and my fiver stays parked for the four months. I do have an F350, CC, long bed as transportation when there and yes they are a little harder to maneuver then a small auto but not much. It would seem that the fiver and truck would cost less? My 2019 F350, CC, diesel, long bed was $64,000 and my 2018 Cardinal 3825 was $68,200. -
If Canada is ok with it you should be ok in Texas. When Texas sends you registration paper work you can do it online and it is required to be inspected but if you indicate that it is out of state they will let you register it with the expectation that it be inspected within three days of being back in Texas.

Good Sam GPS is $200 now for the 7 inch screen.

I would think that someone would have to collect sales tax? When the new owner goes to get it titled it would seem that they would have to pay sales tax? What other tax implications would there be?

Having problems using commercial address in Co-Polit gps app.
whj469 replied to chiefneon's topic in General RV Information
I had it a number of years ago and had so many problems, never got it to work, so I gave up. The have expensive fuel anyway. -
I use the Good Sam one that I got at Camping World about 5 years ago. It was designed for RVs and you enter your info, height etc., and it does a good job. You need to update it now and then. It was about $250. After I plot a trip I always confirm with the Motor Carrier Map book.

Does Petro-Canada Accept Visa/Mastercard?
whj469 replied to Zulu's topic in Sharing the Fulltime Lifestyle
Not only do they accept Mastercard and Visa but they are the best cards to use because you receive the true exchange rate without any fees. The exchange rate is about .73 cents US for a Canadian dollar. -
Nor are they more patriotic because they joined. They did so as a career path.
-
The military has been a career path for many years. It is for those who couldn't get into college or pay for college. It is a way to go to college later. When they did away with the draft how where they to get people to join? Lots of women join now. Those who remember the draft during the Vietnam war know that divided the country.
-
When you have a volunteer military you have to do what you must to fill the ranks. They say when the economy is doing well it gets harder to recruit?

I have two RV spots in Cedarville, MI UP. We try to spend summers there but this year we have not made it there yet due to health issues. Have a great time.
