RE: Amazon campgrounds in coffeeville ks
we worked there in 2011. when we first arrived we stayed a few days in Independence but move to the park across the street from Amazon. it was a 5 minute drive. The park is no resort. It is just a big feild with dirt roads (mud when it rains) It is not the best place but it is close and everybody there is working at Amazon. You will be glad it is close when you have to be at work at 6 a.m. or earlier

San Luis Obispo to Las Vegas
Hi,
What is the better route to LV from SLO? Go north to Paso Robles and take 46 or go south to Santa Maria and take 166? I am looking for the best road and the best way through the mountains with the least steepest climbs.
Thanks as always

RE: jackson hole to west yellowstone
Last year there was road construction north of Jackson lodge. It was no big deal but there were delays. You will want to turn at Moran. The ride is great or even turn at Moose. A bit slower but there are moose that hang all summer at the bridge.
Jackson and Teton are awesome. I would give yourself at least a couple of days there before heading to YS. We are going back for our 2nd summer at Snake River KOA just south of Jackson. Stop in and see us.

Leaving the rig for while
We are leaving to visit family for a couple of weeks and I am wondering what others have done to leave your rigs unattended for that amount of time. I am going to shut off the water and turn of the hot water heater. I will also do things like stow our outside stuff and roll in the awning.
We are staying in an area where the temps range from about 40 degrees at night to around 60 or so during the day. We use a couple of electric heaters for most of our heating. It works very well and have been doing this for about a year and a half. I have never felt uncomfortable about leaving the heaters running while away for a day or two but have never left the rig for this long.
I will set the furnace around 60 or so if it gets really cold during the night. I am not crazy about leaving the furnace unattended for that long either. What do you guys do while away from the rig for extended periods of time? I don’t want to shut it completely down so it will be cold when we return and we want to keep the frig running on electric.
Thanks

WInter in So. Cal.
I am in the cal. desert near Indio. It is hot as the blazes here. Thinking about moving and looking for suggestions on a place for the winter where the weather is nice but not as hot as H#ll. Thinking of some place near San Diego but not in the city. Maybe a smaller city with a nice park that has monthly rates around $400.00 Thanks for the suggestions.

Carrier A/C Problem
I have a 2004 Carrier Air V roof top a/c heat pump unit on my 5er. It has a remote control, no wall mount thermostat. It has started acting up. It runs and runs and runs. When it does shut off the power light flashes which means (call a service tech.) which I did. The tech thinks it is low on Freon although I am not convinced he is right. I think it may be the board which the tech also said it may be.
He wanted to add service valves to the unit to add Freon at a cost of $450 bucks. Sensing he was not sure this would solve the problem I declined and paid $150 bucks for a service call that did not fix the problem.
I am thinking of replacing the unit. Here are my questions. The main contenders for replacement are Dometic and Coleman. Which one of these units is better? I can get a new Dometic for about $1200. That includes the thermostat bottom unit and a new air box. Everything I need.
If anyone has any thoughts on my current unit and the problem I have I would be interesting in finding a cheap solution. I can’t see spending another $450. on top of the $150. I have spent with no guarantee it will fix the problem. That would be half the cost of a new unit.
I have never really liked the remote control idea on the Carrier it measures the temp. at the return air at the ceiling not in the room. I think it is subject to false readings.
Thanks
