to and from Lavigne Ont
I am going to a motorcycle rally in Lavigne Tavern in late Aug from Okla City. I am taking my 5th wheel toy hauler and a bike or two.
I was thinking about coming into Canada from Detroit and leaving Sault St Marie. Any recommendation regarding available camping? Must see sights? I am not in great rush.

RE: Anyone have issues cooling a 24' TH with a 13500 btu?
I think most of us have put up with that. Mostly I like to go where it's cool in the summer and warmer in the winter.
Besides shade, have you considered spraying the roof and exposed wall with water? You might be able to cool the entire trailer down to the point where the air conditioner has a better chance to maintain it.

RE: WW Sl3005 Floor replacement
Mike, are you the guy I see at the Indy Moto GP? Me in the SL2805 and Moto Guzzi.
Could you do me a favor and check your battery grounds? I am still trying to figure out if there are two ground cables on the battery, the one in question is white with a red stripe on it.
Best of luck with the floor.

RE: Two wheel drive or 4x4?
I have 2wd and recently got stuck at the campground across from Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Also, the tow vehicle got stuck. Ended up getting towed by a couple half ton 4WD (Ford for the tow vehicle and Chevy for my truck + trailer).

RE: street motorcycle hauling
As I reported over the years, I also use a rubber mat and Harbor Freight chock (not the model with free standing support that you have). But I strap the chock front and rear. Didn't have the courage to ride on to an unsecured chock.
I also compress the forks by strapping the bars with a canyon dancer.

RE: $10,000 TV
just about any half ton truck or SUV with a tow package should tow 5k lb. 3/4 ton would be a bonus

RE: Looking at trucks
Contact GM and tell them they need a place for the Kleenex.
LOL!
You may not like the looks of the interior but they are comfortable at least in my opinion. I am bored with the interior myself(about 200K miles of looking at it combined), but its certainly not uncomfortable.
Chevy trucks have the best seats in the business- vs any car or truck IMHO. Have done several 14 hr + days in two Chevy trucks. Both were LS models with bucket seats and console.

RE: differences in mpg when towing
drove from OKC to Indy at 56 mph and got 13.8 mpg. Went home against wind at 64 mph and average dropped to 11.9. Tht's the entire trip, I didn't reset for the tow back.
That's towing my weekend warrior. I get around 19 mpg not towing. 2004.5 Duramax.

RE: OTA signal loss during NASCAR race
I watched the replay of the Indy 500 in the Coke Campground after watching the race in person.
Didn't miss any of it.

RE: WW BATTERY GROUND
Follow the wire and see where it goes. If it ends up connecting to the frame somewhere, then I don't think it is positive. However, the red color tape on the ends would be a very good indicator that it is in fact a positive wire. You said that you already put in on the positive... well what happened? Also a pic would help.
nothing happened best I can tell.
I reconnected it to ground terminal and had a great trip to Indy 500 (other than getting stuck in the Coke lot on Monday). I was able to watch TV Sunday night with battery power only. I plugged in the "quick charge" connector and drove it home on Monday (15 hour drive) and the batteries were charged to "good".
I had my RV mechanic look at it before I left and he said that all white wires are usually grounds. This means I have two hooked up as ground and gang of positives.
I have no way to trace it unless I unbundled the harness. I do have a volt meter but need some advice how to check it in this instance. Thought some one with a WW trailer could tell me.

RE: Portable Grill comparisons...
I've used an Igloo brand of the stainless grill being bashed here in my RV for the last 5 years. I've been camping average of 3-4 weeks a year. It works OK and it's easy to store. The latch & handle makes it very convenient. Gets real hot. Mine takes a lighter to light it.

WW BATTERY GROUND
I just installed new batteries in my Weekend Warrior SL 2805.
There is one cable that is white but has a red band on it. Is it ground or positive? I put it on positive.
I am having second thoughts.

RE: Generators
I like my Champion 3000. Got it got about $300. These things are much quieter than the old portable gennies, though not as quiet as an inverter gen. It's about as quiet as a 10 year old built-in.
You can't hear it inside the trailer if the air is running. And I have the option of rolling it out further from my trailer. Since it's on wheels with a handle, it's perfect for a toy hauler. Just roll it out the ramp. For $300 it's pretty much expendable. You only use for air, microwave or to charge batteries. The TV will run on 12v and fridg runs on gas.
I keep it at home for back-up if I ever need it.

RE: AVG free, not free?
Just get past the junk / spam pop ups and the free AVG is still there. That's what I use too. But it does do an auto upgrade periodically the puts you through update hell.
even worse are all those MS Explorer "updates" that end up changing your home page, search engines, and tool bars.

RE: RDS Auxilary Fuel Tank
I bought my truck with the aux tank installed. for some reason it only holds 45 gallons, I was told 60. has an electric pump.
I usually add Stanidyn whenever I use it.
