    Jamie, All original 30 sites were booked so they put us on I42. If possible if a site would open in the group area, would be nice to swap out if possible. Pam

    Voyager WVOS511 Digital Wireless Observation System

    For those interested, they also make a camera-less system (WVRXVAMTC or WVRXCAM1) that can be used with an existing monitor in your truck (requires external video input).

    Any experience with wind deflectors?

    I asked a guy that had one on his truck and he claimed that he gained about 50 miles per tank with his previous 5th wheel, but not as much with his present travel trailer as the distance between deflector and trailer is too great to be effective. He had his mounted on a bracket right behind the...

Re: diesel vs gas, if you figure the higher gas mileage and resale value, the diesel may be cheaper in the long run, especially if you put on a lot of miles. Repairs can be costly...

    List of things to buy and suggestions.

    On the subject of cleaning your rig while on a campground, are most of them ok with that or do you have to clean it in a designated wash area?

    List of things to buy and suggestions.

    If you search for "RV camping list gear" you'll get plenty of online lists, here's one that's fairly comprehensive: http://www.rv-camping.org/CheckList.html One more item to add to the list, though, is a replacement fuel filter (and wrench that fits the filter/space) for your truck. Given the...
