RE: Our new camping spot

I think your are underpriced. I'd charge $15/day for an exclusive camping spot. You can always charge less if no one books the site, but people always grumble when the price goes up.

RE: Picture From Last Saturday Night....

Yes, we do this only when the Techy comes along. The only difference is we use a white fitted sheet over the slide. I recommend going to Goodwill for a cheap one.
For the record we did this in Bryce Canyon at Ruby's. We talked to the neighbor's before hand a couple actually joined us and brought popcorn. Feature film was Transformers.

RE: Got our Yosemite campsites - suggestions welcome!

We just got back from Yosemite and enjoyed rafting down the Merced river from Curry Village to one of the picnic areas.

RE: Stuck with Rude Neighbors Argh...

Be sure to leave your outside lights on tonight, and about midnight, hit the remote on your vehicle key and beep the horn locking the doors. Get up early and warm your vehicle up (about 6:00 am), and be sure to encourage the kids to get into a fight at 6:30 am!
Remind me never to get you angry if your my neighbor. Those are the things that drive me nuts about camping.

RE: California- San Diego and up. cheap/boondocking places

Please be advised that our state campgrounds start at $35/night for dry camping. Dockweiler Beach is a LA county park is $55-65/night.
I would look into San Diego County, Orange County and San Luis Obispo county parks more reasonable.

RE: CA I5 Tejon pass (Grapevine) road surface condition?

They are currently working on it, but it is in bad shape. You might lose a filling. Worse section is between Gorman and Pyramid Lake.

RE: Warranty work refused

I still think it is bad business. Rv warranties typically last a year and then we are all paying customers. Most of us keep our trailers longer than a year.

RE: DW won't drive

My husband should be proud of me as I have towed all our toys: jet ski's, boat, TT and now 5th wheel. I cheat when launching the boat I put the tailgate down so I can see.
I payed close attention during our PDI on the TT. On our first trip DH hurt his back and I had to drive. Luckily we were within one gas tank of being home, so I filled up before we left. He talked me through the whole thing. I made it home safely and even backed the trailer into storage. It wasn't centered but between the lines is all that mattered. I do half the driving on most trips even with the 34' 5th wheel. Gas stations still intimidate the he** out of me and I would rather unhitch and fill up than to pull into some stations.

RE: How hard is it to book campsite in Yosemite?

I have canceled the reservation and it automatically showed up on the internet.
We like to stay in Wawona and it is much easier to reserve. You need multiple computers and click,click,click away two minutes before and keep clicking.

RE: Camping with friends- Meals

We usually plan joint meals and each family is responsible for at least one course of the meal.
At least two meals of the trip are on your own or leftovers.

RE: Get out and go... while you still can! (A whiney rant)

The spacer should be imbedded with antibiotics, please ask the doctors. You will be on a walker or crutches the entire time as the doctor may limit how much weight you can put on the leg.
Sometimes these infections don't elevate the white blood cell count too high, but once cultured the infection shows up. I've had several patients over the years requiring removal of hardware and once the infection is cleared they do well with the new replacement
Praying for a speedy recovery for you.

RE: I HATE MY BEST FRIEND!

I love my gas guzzler. Ours is an 05 with 31k miles. We get 9-10 towing and 12-13 in town Its a CC, LB 4.30 gears.
31k at the age of eight!
How much love is four thousand miles a year? :B
It is our dedicated tow vehicle and doesn't see much action otherwise that's why we have two other commuter cars. Pulls our trailer like a champ.

RE: Poll: Did you go larger?

We bought our F350 March 2010 by March 2011 we had a Fifth wheel. Bought a trailer with a dedicated bunk room. We simply needed more room we had a 27' TT without a slide. We fooled ourselves into thinking we could make do, but we got tired of having to shuffle around the trailer just to walk around. Haven't looked at another trailer.
