  1. Depends on who has the cheapest gas at the time I need to fill up. I don't personally pay attention to which state I get gas in, I get it when I need it. The vehicle will never be able to say "where" I've driven or it would need to store GPS information along with miles driven. At that point you're talking about a federal tax and not a state tax issue. Imagine taking a vacation for a month and driving 3000 miles during that 4-week time period, crossing 18 state lines and 2 international borders in the process. Who gets the tax money?
  2. Those plans have been around for decades without the module thingy. I have had the lowest rated plan, at less than 7500 miles per year, for years because I put maybe 400 miles per month on my vehicle hopping back and forth to the local hardware store and driving twice a month into town 30 miles away. Usually on a beer run as this end of my county is dry.
  3. A 'per-mile' tax to the state would make the assumption that you drive 100% of those miles within the state borders. I live 15 minutes from the border of the next state to the west of me and I spend a lot of time on the other side of that border. How would they make that tax equitable...the state I live in, and the state where I spend 30% of my driving time are both going to want their share.
  4. If it's just a lot, how is there a "full size fireplace"? You mean a BBQ pit?
  5. Well said, Rod. And as one who retired from the Navy Reserves, doing a hitch on Active Duty first before transitioning, I will tell everyone that once you attain higher rank there is no more "weekend warrior". I probably spent 40 - 50 hours per month, above and beyond my weekend Reserve time, taking care of Navy business on my own time and own dime after I got off work from my civilian job, which was law enforcement. There just isn't enough time to get everything done in one 18-hour weekend. I was also mobilized and recalled to Active Duty for Desert Storm and 9-1-1. All in all, it was a pretty fun ride. 😎 FWAFS!
  6. You may want to include the GVWR, the hitch weight, water and holding tank capacities, etc.
  7. We bought the entire 5 seasons on Blu-ray for like $50. Took us a year to go through them. We've done that with a bunch of series...Rockford Files, Barney Miller, In the Heat of the Night, Northern Exposure...a bunch more. Makes for good watching when there isn't anything else worth watching on...which is most of the time, it seems.
  8. Pretty sure handguns are a no-no now up there. I've been back and forth several times on hunting trips and always crossed at the same place - one of those relatively remote stations where the agent was more than likely going hunting after work - and we never had a problem. Matter of fact, I don't recall them even coming out to check our stuff. They just asked, "No more than 200 rounds of ammunition per person, right? No more than one bottle of liquor or one case of beer per person, right? OK, have a good time, eh." All while sitting in the office with their feet on the desk, reading a magazine.
  9. Sorry, old thread. My bad.
  10. Thank you. I checked and can't use it since I have an Android phone.
  11. You are going to need to buy travel health insurance coverage before you go. You will not be covered by Canadian medical while you are there, and most likely any health insurance you have here won't cover you there. Although I am American, all my relatives live in Canada and I had an accident there a number of years ago while on a hunting trip. They treated me, of course, but everything was cash out-of-pocket because I had no Canadian travel insurance and my Anthem Blue Cross coverage wasn't an option. I have never heard of anything like "walk-in availability for blood work", even here. I think if I had any kind of chronic condition that might need treatment during a given period of time, I would not chance going OConus. https://www.internationalinsurance.com/health/north-america/canada.php https://www.forbes.com/advisor/travel-insurance/destinations/canada-trips/ https://www.tourguidecanada.com/travel-medical-insurance-canada.html
  12. "...and further state that if a rig comes in with them in place, they will remove them before the vehicle leaves their shop." They are not installing them, they are just putting them back on where they originally came from.
  13. Yes, I've seen this. Thank you.
  14. Thank you all for the input. I rather figured it was this way. I'll keep checking, though, on the off chance someone checks in.
  15. I'll give that a shot, too. But I figured, this is an RV site, with a veteran's forum, so why not also post the question here?
  16. Does anyone have any recent experience with any of them? Saguaro Skies, Boneyard Vista, or down by Yuma? Prices, how congested they get, do they fill up during the winter...that sort of thing. Thanks...
  17. That was kind of what I was looking for - posts from veterans and retirees about their experiences specifically regarding military RV parks. I have noticed that there are only a few forums on this site that are regularly active. Some will sit for days or weeks without anyone adding a new post. So I'll start with a new one.
  18. Since this forum is simply titled "Veterans", I'm looking for posts solely made by and for other veterans. Otherwise why have a special forum for them?
