We did Jacob Lake which worked for us. There are forest roads for alternative routes to the rim. It's actually quite funny how tiny the "lake" is!

What ever you end up getting, for sure go to Verizon and get a new Sim Card. Purchased a jet pack back 4+yrs ago.., took out the Sim Card and placed it in a router our son built. He's working on a new router with the latest Qualcomm chip which just arrived and just went to Verizon to pick up another new Sim Card. We placed it into the 1st router he built and will switch soon to the new one.
Still kept the original grandfathered plan

No large trees that block satellite connections, that make it tough to get into the site and that dump trash/leaves on the roof and that scratches the rig (I prefer no trees). Level sites (concrete best). Option of drive through and back in sites. Sewer connection, water and electric 2/3 rds way down the site (not at the back of the sites). 15, 30 and 50 amp electric hookups. Picnic table at each site. No fire rings unless distance between sites is wide. Wide enough roads to make it easier to back into the sites. My rig is 65 total feet long with Jeep included.

For what it's worth, Newmar wouldn't hardwire a surge protector in out rig. Said the EMS system covers surges.

You should be able to show bank and credit card statements with your Florida domicile address to prove you're in FL. I called the Okaloosa Co DMV and the Agent answered some questions I had and even knew who we use MyRVMail.com in Crestview.

I had a CDL when setting up a domicile at MyRVmail.com in Crestview FL. The Okalossa Co DMV Office in Crestview was willing to transfer my CDL licence but needed a Doctors physical first which I declined. The county clerk across the hall will also set you up to vote and will provide an address for banking. So I have a physical address at the county office and a mailing address via MyRVmail.com for our bank and TD Ameritrade.

Can't add to the information above except for this if you're on an expensive drug/s..... Check to make sure they're on the Part D plan you end up with.
I was placed on an expensive medicine last week and my Humana Part D plan wouldn't cover it or the other 2nd choice product the Dr wanted me on. Humana even refused the Prior Authorization of the 2nd product. I called the company who produces the product, gave them my zip code of our domicile and they gave me 3 Part D plans to consider. The Dr gave me a 30 day free supply coupon, will pay out of pocket for December and will then go on the new plan in January.
Based on my experience, I wouldn't pick Humana.

I use Miller RV Insurance: http://www.millerrvinsurance.com/. They're an insurance broker who will find the best deal and shop for you. Make sure to tell them you full time.

We booked the majority of our stays last August/September for our trip to the Maritimes including Newfoundland. It's going to be an expensive trip diesel wise but screw it. Originally there was going to be 2 other RVs going with us but one recently dropped out..... We're going. Currently visiting our eldest in Nyack, NY

I use sygic Rv on a the android stereo oin my RV. It works quite well, and hasn't let me down (yet).
Thanks for the comment on Sygic! Been looking for someone with RV experience. Thinking of going with the Truckers app which has the RV application on an android pad the next time I need a GPS. Lots lower cost.

I installed our lights, Demco base plate and Ready Brute Elite myself. It's a simple surge brake system that works well. Life time warranty and often recommended. Read another forum today that a full timer poster has had his for 14 yrs now.

Currently at Tropical Trails RV Resort northeast of town (Brownsville). Feel very safe here and numerous friends including us will be back.

Pipe insulation also quited mine down (which wasn't overly loud to begin with).

We used Miller. They'll look around for the cheapest rates. They are well acquainted with full-timers. We had them re-look about every 2 years. Insurance fluctuates.

One of my favorites is Shafers Trail in Utah starting from Canyonlands and ending just north of Moab. Need a AWD or 4WD.

Based on what I've read and heard from one owner directly, we will be going with Toyos when the time comes for replacement.

The TSD card is only good at truck stops, correct? Is there a way to know if it is accepted before you pull into the station or to the pump?
Loves, TA/Petro, Ambest, Road Ranger and Sapp Brothers are the locations listed at TSD. Daily (by firm) TSD publishes the discounts by state and city.

I have used the card in the past, results: denied two times at the pump while my BH was on the road and FlyingJ/Pilot fuel is so expensive that the discount doesn't lower fuel at all.
Where were you denied? Did you go to the truck fill locations? Need a bit more info. Bought last Friday in Yuma for $1.86/gallon. I have yet to have any issues with the card. Works great for me.

It's a great program and hope it lasts. Been using since September.

We wish we didn't get the dishwasher. Waste of space in our opinion.....

We're going to be staying at Tier Drop RV Park in Wellton, AZ (20 mins east of Yuma) for $295 per month. Advantage vs Quartzite is far better shopping for supplies/food.

I've heard Unique will actually break down poo mounds.....
Our grey tank wouldn't read 0% right away after dumping and took awhile (like 6 hrs) for it to eventually read 0%. Was told to try Pine Sol and Calgon and after a couple of moves with it in the tank, it now immediately reads 0% after dumping.
