    Learned 3 valuable lessons today

    Hi all !! Just wanted to pass this on. 1. sikaflex caulk is a wonderful product. 2. Using latex caulk on an rv is NOT a good thing. 3. DO NOT assume that butyl caulk will "set up" in a 2 week period!!! The old caulk on my new to us Sundance is evidently latex and is being a bear to get off...

    Visiting philadelphia ? Maybe this cg will fit the bill!!

    Timberlane CG in Clarksboro NJ. 14 miles from center city Philadelphia and the Liberty Bell. Small CG and doesn't offer much other than a pool, but clean as a whistle and our dealings with the staff were pleasant. At $45 a night it's a steal compared to $150 plus for a room in Philly. If your...

    2 In one afternoon

    Saw a full paint Cyclone around exit 8 northbound on the N.J. turnpike about 2:30 pm 6/5/13. Fifteen minutes later there was an eastbound North Country TT at exit 6 of I-195. Happy trails to you both. Wish I were out there too. ED.:angel:

    Hensley vs. Pro Pride Opinions ?????????

    considering the purchase of a 3 point hitch and I'm a bit confused......The 2 major manufacturers seem to be in a bit of a mud slinging match. 5 or 6 minute videos full of what sounds like sour grapes and entire websites bashing the "other" guy. All I want to do is make an informed decision, not...

The lower cost sites were spacious and plentiful. The grounds were beautiful and extremely well groomed. On top of that these folks wrote the...
