A good timely reminder to check your plugs for proper fit and condition. I've seen these actually catch fire. This is a 30 Amp connection. Unlike a 50 Amp set up, losing the neutral in this case will not cause any high voltage issues. The connection just looks bad, likely one of the pins was...

Merry Winter Solstice!

Those of us from up north, running with Canadian plates, come down south in large numbers for the winter. We're obviously not armed due to our laws and culture, but I'm not aware of any Canadians being specially targeted by criminals because they know that we don't "carry". We've always felt...

Letchworth State Park in NY (it has a great canyon) is worth a visit. Sites are nice and big, but the ones we used only had electric hook up IIRC. Just be careful choosing your access route as there is a low bridge in the area.

Sorry to hear about your problems Eileen & Jon. I presume that Morry's did di some fix on the landing gear legs, but that it failed. Was the part that failed new, or touched by Morry's. If so, I'm sure that Eric would cover the cost of the fix, even if you have to use a local repair person. I'm...

Re: Inverter for fridge problem I'm not sure of your exact wiring arrangement. However, to test the inverter supply can you not open the circuit breakers feeding the converter and inverter transfer switch, and thus simulate no shore power?

Ian, Sent you a PM.

We camped here a couple of years ago, and I do not recollect any problems with access.

Bob, I'll help with the door prize transport as I'm bringing a bunch of them anyway. Bill

So you have disc brakes and oil bath bearings, or is the adjuster's wording incorrect? I assumed that you have drum brakes. Also how did the shaft get bent?

Good news, hopefully it will all come together soon. You can be back across the border in another 3 days then. Perhaps when you have time, you can let us know how the axle got damaged.

Re: New Axel needed - urgently Yes, Jon, we'll see you in Niagara as well. We file form 8840 every year, because if you stay on average 4 months a year then you need to show a closer connection to Canada to avoid US tax. They may change the 183 days to something longer in future, but there...

Re: New Axel needed - urgently Jon/Eileen, A couple of items regarding your concerns with overstaying in the US - just from a tax POV. The tax year is now 2014, if you stay later now, you may just have to delay your arrival time in the fall so that 183 day limit is not exceeded for this year...

Bob, Please add Margaret and me to the list. Thanks Bill M
