Yes, the video was posted here yesterday:

Here's the Canadian website for importing firearms or weapons into Canada:

Import and export a firearm or weapon into Canada. (cbsa-asfc.gc.ca)

We have visited -- with an RV -- Guadalupe Mountains, Great Basin, and North Cascades.  None of these require a boat to get to.  In fact, you can't get to them by boat.

Price?  Location?  How do people contact you?

When we had our Class C (we are now RV-less), we drove separately.  We had walkie-talkies and we never drove very far in a day (usually 150-250 miles, occasionally closer to 300 if it was all Interstate driving...which we tried to avoid if at all possible).

It worked for us.  YMMV.

Here is the Canadian government's information on importing pets:

Bringing animals to Canada: Importing and travelling with pets - Canadian Food Inspection Agency

In part, it says: "Pet rabbits from the United States do not require an import permit or health certificate."

There is additional information on importing rabbits on the above page.

When we've crossed over into Canada, the only thing we've been asked about were firearms and alcohol...they didn't even ask to see information about our dog!  And while customs may ask about different or additional items, I'm pretty confident that you will be able to keep your kitchen knives!

Oh, and keep your rabbit food in its original bag.  While the above site doesn't mention that, I know for dogs and cats, you must have the food in the original container, so I'd play it safe on that front.

I had not thought of it until I read your post but I can't remember the last Amazon package that we got via FedEx. We live in the outskirts of the D/FW area and by far the majority of our deliveries are Amazon drivers, next would be USPS, and occasionally something larger via UPS. I do see the FedEx trucks in our neighborhood. 

Same here.  I can't remember when any of my Amazon deliveries have been via FedEx.  It's usually UPS or USPS.  I don't recall an Amazon truck delivering anything here, either, which is strange since we have an Amazon fulfillment center near the airport, so I would have thought I'd often see Amazon trucks making deliveries here.

Chewy always uses FedEx and we've never had a problem with them.

You might want to give people a way to contact you.

 AND YOU CANNOT TALK TO A LIVE PERSON. 

I assume this is because of the current outage?  Because they do have both a customer service number and a technical service number.

Have you tried messaging them from their Facebook page?  I've had good luck doing this with other companies, including Sling which is owned by Dish.

You need to provide people with some way of contacting you and a price.  Location of the RV would be nice, too.

I read elsewhere that the person in the casita sustained burns and is in the hospital (or was...perhaps he's out by now?).

It may have been due to a propane explosion.  Someone said two people had been sent to the hospital.

Until they fix the issues, were it me, I would sanitize my freshwater tank and use it and the onboard water pump as it provides, or should provide good pressure inside.

X2.

While we were boondockers, on those rare times we stayed in an RV park, we continued to run off our fresh water tank and water pump.  

You've probably already found this, but just in case, here's the information about bringing a pet into Canada from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency:

If you can, drive to Alaska.  You'll see a lot more than on a cruise and you can take your cat.  Spend the whole summer for the trip and begin the return late August.  Return via the Cassier and you can stop in Hyder to watch the bears fish.  That's the time they are there.

X2.

Regarding pets on a cruise to Alaska: All pets must remain in the RV.  You'll have certain times during the day when you can go down to visit and walk them (dogs).  You will not be allowed to sleep in the RV.

Yes, Scottie asked in 2019 about towing his Mazda 3 but Alan Carbo asked today if he flat towed the Mazda 3 which is what Scottie was asking about.  That's why it seems like Carbo was asking Scottie.

I think the point Kirk was making is that the OP hasn't been back here since April 2019, so he's unlikely to see Alan's question.

I know Lazy Daze has closed down but Is there any reason to avoid buying a USED Lazy Daze because of that?

If you are interested in buying a Lazy Daze, I highly recommend joining the Lazy Daze Owners' Group.  There is much information on the site about these RVs and very knowledgeable people who can answer questions you may have.

I'm not familiar with either those products but I agree the Firesticks seem to have planned obsolescence. I replaced a Firestick with a Roku 4K and it is far more robust that the Firestick at a comparable price.

I'll be taking a look at the Roku, too, although the guy that did the review on the Nvidia, that I referenced above, says the Nvidia's interface is better than the Roku Ultra.  I don't know how the Ultra differs from the 4K that you have.

I do have a question about the Roku (and it applies to the Nvidia, too):  Do you have to pay for your Amazon Prime Video on the Roku?  I'm a Prime member and on my Fire Stick, the Prime Video app is free.  However, a neighbor who has a Roku and is also a Prime member, says he has to pay for Prime Video.

We ordered a Shield TV summer of 2019 and still use it every day as our primary device.

Do you have the Pro or the less expensive one?  Have you had any problems that this guy, Charles (Vine Voice) -- first review here -- has had?  (As an aside, I've never had the problems with the Fire Stick that this guy talks about.)

Is anyone familiar with either of these products?

I just ordered my 4th Fire Stick -- they seem to stop working after about a year, so I'm looking for a better solution to streaming.  I came across this article, Grab an NVIDIA Shield TV Pro During This Rare Sale – Review Geek, and the two products it discusses sounds interesting, although I don't know if they have the same limited life as the Fire Sticks do.

I would probably go with the less expensive Shield TV Streaming Stick rather than the Pro since I don't need most of the features the Pro has (i.e., local media files, cloud & Android games).  I know it's expensive, but based on what I've already spent on 4 Fire Sticks, it's affordable, particularly if it has a longer life.  If it's going to stop working after a year, I'll just stick with the Fire Stick.

Why can't all auto makers use the same kind of charger?  What happens if you have "X" electric auto, but the only charging stations along your route are Tesla?

If you're in an RV park for any length of time, ask if they will accept mail (not all will).  

You can also have it sent to General Delivery. However, not all post offices accept GD mail, so check beforehand (this is especially true in larger towns and cities that have more than one post office -- usually only the main post office accepts GD mail).

Here's one such article from the National Library of Medicine (there are others):

Identification and Accumulation of Phenolic Compounds in the Leaves and Bark of Salix alba (L.) and Their Biological Potential - PMC (nih.gov)

Do you take both the aspirin and the willow bark, or did the willow bark replace the aspirin?

We got home this afternoon safe and sound.  Roads were clear and dry except going over the Blue Mountains, but they were just wet...no snow or ice.

Earl hasn't been using his oxygen concentrator since he stepped foot in the house, but I have it set up just in case.  He still tires out easily, but that's to be expected.  I'm sure he'll gain strength over time.

(The dogs are happy to be home, too! 😂 )
