RE: STL to Finger Lakes area road conditions
You my want to reconsider 86, unless you don't mind shaking the fillings out of your teeth. I usually take 90 past Buffalo then drop down along the lakes into Watkins Glen or 80 east thru PA to I think it's route 15 north. Daughter lives in Ithaca, we stay in Watkins Glen.

RE: Why is gas 60 cents more in same state
What you experienced has nothing to do with the oil companies and all to do with what taxes are added on to gas by LOCAL governments - often different county to county within the same state...
We live in the WA State. There is Federal taxe on gas, added on is the state tax on gas, add on any local gas taxes that are often different county to county and there you have the differences in gas prices even within the same state.
...and of course, each gas station can set their own price per gallon.
Then kindly explain 3 different prices at the same station in 18 hours.

RE: Scary Towing Sights This Week...
Question: was the Aerolite and Nomad fiberglass sided?
Don't know about the Nomad, but the Aerolite was Filon, similar to fiberglass, weighed around 4,000#.
If the GC were lifted as shown by OP, then it was a setup problem, not a weight problem.

RE: Scary Towing Sights This Week...
Last Monday I helped my Dad set up at a local CG for the week. While we were setting up we saw a Grand Cherokee pulling about a 28' fiberglass camper. The whole thing just looked awful as it was WAY too much weight to put on that SUV.
I went out there again for the weekend and saw a very similar setup. Again it was a Grand Cherokee pulling a large TT. If there were any speedbumps along the way then I don't think the back of the Jeep would have made it over. Scary scenarios.
This got me thinking though. What are the laws for towing? Could these rigs get ticketed for being way over their capacity?
What makes you think it was way too much weight? 1996 Grands could tow up to 6500 lbs depending on engine. We towed a 26foot Aerolite all over with a 6 cyl. 96 Grand with weight distributing hitch and electric brakes on trailer. 2000 Grands had same capability.
2005 and newer Jeeps
Now if the back end was low, then it wasn't hooked up correctly.

RE: Good Sam Campground Ratings Errors
For all you Good Sam haters out there, I think you should write them and demand your money back for using this site. Oh, its free. Nevermind.
Campgrounds are kinda like restaurants. Everybody that eats in a restaurant thinks they can run one. Well, most of you wouldn't last a year in either business. If you really hate camping as much as you claim, I think you'll be happier if you find another hobby.When you go to the CG management to complain about specific items that are obviously WAY out of line in the ratings and they blow you off with a comment "Go away. As long as we buy that big add, we'll get the ratings we want", you know. Then, of course, when you try to find a place at TL or GS to complain to about inaccurate ratings, you find you cannot. No form, no address, no phone number. As others have said, go to to RV PARK REVIEWS and read what real folks think instead of dealing with the scammers and liars. Am I upset about this? Yeah, you bet, but I learned fast and don't play that game. Fool me once--shame on you. Fool me twice--shame on me. Do you really think this forum is free? Take off your add blocker.
Send Anne an email, she'll look into it.
"Ann Emerson"
She heads up that part of Woodall's. I've sent her several complaints and she has always responded.

RE: Buyer BEWARE
We still don't know how they found out the hard way. Just driving down the road, no one knows what license rating you have. Seems to be more than we're being told. Romer--found out the hard way because like 2 crazies we trusted the dealer...then we come to find out the dealer was wrong.....and now the hubby has to go to the DMV.. get the study book...take the written AND road test. They dealer made it sound so easy. I guess the tests won't be so bad...it's just the idea that we did not have that in mind when we bought the unit...any way he'll upgrade the license...and we'll be happy campers....oh yea, I see that you are from Bolingbrook...hope you have the right license;)
What is the HARD WAY????? Assuming you were pulled over by some law enforcement, but what caused you to be pulled over? We don't know what size MH you have. I have a 34' Class A and I'm good with a Class D license.

RE: WHY WAS I NOT TOLD AT THE DEALER??
Do not need special license to operate MH in Illinois according to their DMV CDL FAQs. The police do not always know the laws. I'd fight the ticket. I think the dealer got it right
You don't need a CDL to operate an RV but you DO need the correct class non-CDL license.
IL non-CDL guide
And if you read that manual, you'll find that every Class A over 10,001 lbs requires a medical certificate. Also, all MH's over 42' are illegal in IL.

Still haven't heard how OP found out the hard way. How would any officer know he didn't have the proper license?

Try this.

Thanks, that's the listing I saw. There are no reviews on RVParkreviews or anyplace else. I was looking for someone who has been there. Find it strange there aren't any reviews.

RE: Looking a buy a netbook
However, the OP was asking about netbooks and wants something with a larger screen. Tablets with a 10" screen start around $400, while more capable netbooks start around $300.
Best Buy has the Acer A210 tablet for $349, 10.1" screen, Lenovo tablet with 9" screen for $299.

Marcus on WGN tonight
Just saw a story on WGN TV about Marcus Lemonis helping a bakery in Chicago area that was scheduled to close. This is not first time I've heard of him helping people. Nice to see a CEO who's willing to really help make a difference.

RE: Campground - Bremen IN
Eby Pines on Rte 20 in Bristol is open all year:
Eby Pines
It's about an hour away from Bremen.
KOA in Granger is open until November 18th, which is probably closer.

RE: Bet he had more than one RV'ing issue after that!
Upon review of that U-tube presentation, I saw that his problem was the tires. He had street tires. Now, when he switches out to Mud/Snow he will be good to go for the next run through the mud puddle. :W

Only if he airs down to 5 psi.

RE: Passport Book to National Parks
Have had one for years. Keep it safely in motorhome. That means we never have it with us when we actually visit the NP. Luckily they stamp a piece of paper and we then glue it in the book.
