RE: "Shiba Inu" Mika's agility training
Looking pretty good for a Shiba. LOL
We have a twin to yours and is a hard dog to train other than for its own good reasoning or Yugi's benefit. Sister is a black lab and sure shows the difference in training. Shiba is just too smart for their own good. They sure like their treats and will do almost anything if it is their fav. Good luck.

RE: Recommended Vornado model for 24ft travel trailer
We have the TVH 500 With Remote in our trailer and love it. I bought it about 5 years ago on a going out of business sale for 70% off so I didn't feel so bad on the dollars as it is normally around $150 if I remember correctly. 2 things we like is that it keeps the whole trailer at around the same temperature front to back unlike others that you cook sitting beside it and freeze at the far end. It is also very quiet so you can hardly hear it running. Nice for sleeping on those cold wet spring/fall nights when you have to duck inside to watch a movie when it is not nice out and you don't have to listen to a howling heater fan.

RE: Celebration- I got reservations at Banff!!!
You guys 4th of July celebration is our July 1 Canada day holiday. Depending on the day of the week that it falls sometimes it can almost cross over but if the 4th falls midweek or so they sometimes don't. Looking at the calendar for this year they probably will be opposite weekends since the first is the Monday. The weekend of the 4th and on you are also starting to get into the Calgary Stampede where tourist traffic doubles the population around here. It runs from the 5th to the 14th this year and that is probably why July 4th and on is tough to get a reservation spot. Camping and hotels around here are pretty much booked right up then. Time for us locals to leave town and go on a vacation somewhere else. LOL.

RE: Seattle Washington
We have stayed ay Lake Pleasant a couple of times and will be heading there again this next trip. Nice place, and real quiet too. Stayed at the KOA above a couple times and it is OK but not nearly as nice and a lot more noise due to its location.

RE: Celebration- I got reservations at Banff!!!
Just watch your weekends up here. Most long weekends or certain ones like right after the kids get out of school all book up as soon as they open up the phones. Some of our holidays are a couple days different than the US ones as well so work around them and you will usually have more options available. Same with September long up here kids are just going back to school where stateside they have been back for a couple weeks. When we go stateside we usually go around the last week of August to first week September and is usually a lot more quiet than up here.

RE: Can I use a regular house mattress in my TT?
Measure the size and get something comfortable at your local mattress store. If a weird size there are lots of custom mattress shops that will make it to size without wild custom charges. If you need to beef up your platform go ahead. I am in the mattress business so it helps and they all laugh at my nice bed I sleep on but my theory is if I am on vacation or a weekend to rest why shouldn't I sleep well and not wake up with a sore back. Get something decent and you won't regret it. Even if it costs a few more dollars it will pay you back in enjoyment.

RE: License requirements US to Canada
Passport not required to enter Canada but you will need it to get back into the U.S.
Non-Canadians
When you enter Canada, a CBSA officer may ask to see your passport and a valid visa, if one is necessary. If you are a citizen of the United States, you do not need a passport to enter Canada. However, you should carry proof of your citizenship, such as a birth certificate, certificate of citizenship or naturalization, as well as photo identification. If you are a permanent resident of Canada or the U.S, you should bring your Permanent Resident Card with you.

RE: Equal-i-zer 4 way hitch
I am an Equalizer user as well. Has worked very well since day 1 of our trailer purchase 7 years ago. Get it setup properly and as mentioned earlier if you have a power tongue jack it is a piece of cake to hook up. I have never used the bar lift piece that comes with it either. One thing I have noticed over the years that many people have generic equalizer hitches that they got thrown in with their purchase but turns out they are not the real thing but a cheap imitation. Make sure you have the original and you can't go wrong.

RE: Rear Kitchens
7 years for ours now and no issues. As mentioned earlier when outside you can just sneak in the door and grab a cold one from the fridge or make a sandwich without tracking through the trailer. You can get a little bounce in the cupboards and fridge but once you learn how to pack them and don't forget to slow down at the cattle guards there are no problems. Make sure your unit has or get a set of shocks installed. I know it seems to help on ours and have heard others that have added them later say that it seems to calm down the bounce somewhat. We would consider one again in a minute.

RE: Buying a new generator
I have 3 genny's and use them for different reasons. I started several years back with the champion 4k unit when they were first coming out in the U.S. Picked one up for $299 and thought it was a great genny and still do. runs everything in the trailer anytime and has never let me down after 5 or 6 years now. Downside to it it is a little heavy and can't load myself and is a little more noisy than I would like for campground use. We usually only load it up for our boondocking trips where we can set it a ways from the trailer.
The second setup is 2 champion 2K inverter models. I got these 2 years ago for $399 each and use them mostly on campground trips and even some boondocking trips as well. One runs the lights, charges batteries etc. and will run microwave if nothing else is drawing power. I also have the option of hooking 2 together and powering everything as well. They are very quiet and run forever on a tank of gas. Great for those rainy afternoons and having to sit inside and watch movies. Keeps you warm and can run your power and you can hardly hear one running. With all 3 being Champions I can say I would by their product again. Did have some issues with one of the inverter models and they were great to work with to get it fixed.

RE: Glacier Ntl Park
Check out the one we have been going to for several years now in Hungry Horse as a suggestion. Only a quick drive to the west entrance to the park. Mountain Meadows Rv Park. Nice sites, full hookups, mostly trees between sites etc. and close to the park and not far from Kalispell for major shopping if that is in the plans as well.

RE: Glacier Ntl Park
Only masochists drive the entire GTTS road.
Wow I didn't realize I was that crazy. Back in the day when I was younger and we didn't have the length limits like today's I used to drive the motor home back and forth. Wife thought I was a bit crazy but if you take it easy and careful you will have no issues other than the crazy tourists that get scared and think they have to drive in the center of the road with big mirrors sticking out. They drive me crazy.

RE: Glacier Ntl Park
We are regulars to the park and suggest you figure what you like more. My wife likes the camping better on the west side so we go around and camp there and just do day trips to the east side. We do occasionally stay at St Marys as well but as mentioned not as nice as some of the west side campgrounds. We are not far away so the extra drive around the mountain is not a real big deal and are used to that. We usually stay just outside the park in Hungry Horse and take the few minute drive in to the west side of the park from there. We have camped in most of the park campgrounds over the years but like the area where stay now a little better. Remember we are all different and may have different reasons or preferences as to how and where you stay.

RE: Crossroads owners forum?
I thought the other funny thing that Tom said near the beginning was to make sure you read the fine print on all the other mfg warranties as there was a lot of if and's and but's. I think based on his last reply their bumper to bumper warranty was as bad or worse than anyone else's as far as the fine print goes. Maybe that is why you saw so many people having warranty coverage issues due to the factory knit picking on the fine print of the warranty.
