    Has anyone experienced any trouble while driving across State borders ? The television says that the Texas folks are stopping vehicles with

    out of state tags (especially Louisiana), I guess to test for the virus.  Being from Texas, and semi-planning a trip back to God's country with

    North Carolina tags, are we gonna have any problems?  I don't mind the testing as right now we be Ok, no outward signs of infections.

    We crossed 7 state  borders Florida to Ohio last week with no problems however VA and Wva closed all campgrounds.

    IT doesn't have any fees and will save you money, why not have it in your wallet?

    FJ/Pilot are everywhere and near the interstates easy on easy off most are RV friendly, old pilots not so much but we know how to use the truck pumps.  For us convenience is worth maybe a couple of cents more. TSD is a good program but we are nearing the end of our RV journey so we will stay with what we got.

  3. We don't travel nearly as much as we once did as we have slowed down. The TSD programs sounds like something we might have used when we were doing 7 to 10 K miles a year . We now pretty much only travel between our Ohio domicile and our Florida residence and maybe travel to a local C G or two during the summer. We use the RV plus card for FJ/ Pilot at 8 cents a gallon off for diesel  when on the road. We are actually spending way less for fuel now than we did 4 or 5 years ago.

    I get that, but when you close and tell everyone that they have to leave, you are causing movement of people. At that defeats The Whole goal of shelter in place. You leave them open and close up all of the buildings. I say this as I’m a full time RVer and campgrounds are my home. Weekend warriors should not travel and stay in there stick and bricks home.

    We are not weekend warriors. Our home right now is our RV lot in Florida. We may or may not be able to travel to our S&B up North. Fulltimers knew there would be risks involved. This is one of them.

    Sorry, can't help with that one.  We stay in that area of the mountains every year, this year we will be visiting later and staying at Dandridge TN (75 miles away).  Our motorcycles rides generally take us into or through Cherokee a couple times a week but we have never actually camped there.

    I can tell you that generally speaking most of the KOA affiliated campgrounds we are seeing around the country are overpriced and run down.

    Generally speaking not our experience.

     

  6. We are changing nothing ...yet. We are due to leave our seasonal site in Florida within 30 days with reservations made  along the way as usual. The worst that can happen is that we will have to stay in Florida. We are not at this time concerned about things that have not happened. We are near Disneyworld  and all the attractions which is the worst place to be during a virus outbreak. We will take action on what happens when it happens.

  7. We have never purchased a RV at Camping world for two reasons they did not have the brand we wanted and they have always been to expensive. We do shop at CW when they have what we want at a price we think is fair. We use FJ/ Pilot with our RV plus card. They are most everywhere, easy in , easy out, Rv  friendly and plenty of parking if you need it. We will also use Loves and other truck stops  when needed. We use what  we want   when we want to.

  8. We have never stayed at a KOA for a extended stay .I think the longest stay at a KOA was 3 days most are over for overnight. We prefer KOA campgrounds when on the road for over night stays. We always get 50 amp, full hookup, pull through. We do not consider them over priced . We just looked at our quicken category  for campgrounds and do not see a 70.00 KOA fee.

  9. We just call and ask them to change our service address so we can get the local channels and it will change while we are still on the line with them. They have increased their prices as to  where it is no longer affordable to us in terms of what you get for the price we pay.

    We have had them for years and the service has always been excellent but they are pricing themselves out of the market.

    Pre Obama Care I could have given some advice but after that was forced on us that were supplying our own insurance that went out the window. The only advice I can give you now is apply for Obama Car and see what happens but be sitting down when you get the price.

    Remember ACA stands for AFFORDABLE care act. It was(allegedly) designed for low income folks  who could not afford health care  and received subsidies' based on their  income to make it affordable(allegedly) If your income was high you did not qualify for subsidies  and the health care was unaffordable. We had our own employer provided health insurance and the ACA was  not forced upon us. I helped some low income folks with the ACA applications and with the subsidy it was affordable.  I ran my income and was not eligible for any subsidy and it was not affordable. You can do the homework on the ACA and check for any subsidy but I would doubt it.
