RE: Spring gulch
Before you book either Spring Gulch or Country Haven, I would ask if you plan to do any site-seeing. Both campgrounds are a bit out of the way of the tourist spots. If you want to be more in the thick of things, I would suggest Old Mill Stream or Beacon Hill.

RE: New to this, 2013 Navion IQ
Well, I must say, our roof didn't look like that, but as time went on we did put Eternabond on all of the seams. Many Rv'ers do this. Keep in mind one thing if you decide to use Eternabond-once it's on, it's on. It is difficult to remove.

RE: For all you Nexus RV owners out there ...
If anyone has had the chance to compare a Lazy Daze and a Nexus.....what do you think of the quality between a Nexus and a Lazy Daze?

RE: Delivery driver tip ?
We had our last rv delivered by FedEx. FedEx subcontracted the job out to an independent driver. The driver got caught in a storm and called to let us know he would be delayed. He also gave us his phone number and suggested that we call a day before the scheduled delivery date, so that he could give us a specific delivery time. We gave him a tip.

RE: April camping in Lancaster PA area - suggestions PLEASE
Let me add Beacon Hill-within walking distance of Intercourse. Right next to an Amish farm. So is Old Mill Stream but all you see there are the cows. Here you can see the people. Pleasant owners. Only allow campers sixteen years and older.

RE: April camping in Lancaster PA area - suggestions PLEASE
My opinion of Lancaster campgrounds that I have been to that have been mentioned:
Old Mill Stream-the best campground in Lancaster if you don't need a resort. Clean and close to everything without being noisy. Great hosts, no permanent sites, flexible reservation system, shade.
Lake in Wood-a great resort campground. Not as close to Lancaster attractions as some others. Just heard it was bought by a corporation.
Oak Creek-close to Lake in Wood, meaning not overly close to Lancaster attractions. Nice enough.
Starlite-waaaay out in the woods. Nice, but not close to anything.
Country Acres-nice. Some sites were by a trash dump in the woods, but last time we were there, several years ago, the hosts told us the trash dump owner was selling. Nice if you don't get those sites.
Country Haven-just a field with a view. I have read recent reviews saying the new owners are a bit over the top-not in a good way.
Spring Gulch-never understood why people liked this one. To me-overpriced. Just never felt the love.
Flory's-had heard good things. We drove through last year wanting to see what it looked like. A big disappointment. Seemed run down.
Again-just my opinion.

RE: April camping in Lancaster PA area - suggestions PLEASE
We live close to Lancaster and go to this area for quick getaways. A lot of these campgrounds are fairly far apart. And any might be a good fit depending on where you went to be. Could you give us more location information?

RE: Ruby's Campground Bryce Canyon City Utah Opinions
Count us as past visitors to Ruby's. What we liked: a shuttle to Bryce, several places to eat, a grocery store and gift store, and horseback riding, etc right on the property.
One good point that someone made-when it gets wet, the ground gets very muddy.

RE: Valve Extenders and Valve Stems: NOW, a new question
Update, I called the Tireman last night and a valve stem kit is on its way.
Thank you again for all of the help.

RE: Valve Extenders and Valve Stems: NOW, a new question
Jeff,
Again, excuse my ignorance. When you say that you have high pressure rubber stems with metal ends, do you mean that you got tires with high pressure rubber stems with metal ends and you didn't add anything? Or was this an add on that you did?
Thank you.

RE: Valve Extenders and Valve Stems: NOW, a new question
Thank you for all of the information.
After checking with my husband, we do have metal stems on the tires.
What I am reading is that we should get total replacement extenders and stems? I do have the Tireman's email address and phone number.
Again, thank you.

Valve Extenders and Valve Stems: NOW, a new question
I posted the information below this morning. I read the posts and decided to call the Tireman and order the valve extenders.
Before doing so, I called a tire store that our RV Center, whom I trust, recommended. The man I spoke to suggested that I not get valve extenders. He said that he is constantly dealing with tires that blow or have issues with low air pressure because the extenders get clogged with dirt, etc. He said that our local fire company and ambulance center have stopped using extenders for these reasons.
He want on to say that if we want to come into his shop, he would be glad to show us what he means.
So, may I ask people's opinion on this?
Again, thank you for your input.
___________________________________________________________________
Let me apologize up front if I am not as clear as I should be here.
First, if I am right-valve extenders are the "braided" steel "tubes" on our RV that allow us to check the tire pressure in the back/rear/hard to reach tires.
Next, tire valve stems are the rubber parts of the wheels that allow us to check the air pressure inside the tires. Replacement valves are when you buy brass fittings for these rubber stems.
If I am wrong with these definitions, feel free to correct me.
Now, some back history. We had an RV for two years and had no problems at all with tire pressure.
Then, in 2007, we bought a "new to us" 2002 rv. This rv had valve extenders. When we bought the rv we went to a truck shop and had new tires put on. However, we have had periodic issues with the tires retaining air pressure. Most often, after my husband has checked the air pressure. And, this issue has gotten worse over the past two years.
So, now it is time to get new tires, and I want to do everything I can to avoid the air pressure issues this time around.
So,my questions:
#1. Do valve extenders get old? After 11 years, should we buy new ones or are the old ones fine?
#2. And, if I am right in my definitions of valve stems and replacement valves, would people say to buy metal replacement valves? If so, do you buy them for all of the tires? Even the tires with the valve extenders?
#3. When we get the tires on (and I am not going back to the truck shop that did the tires in 2007) is there anything special we should ask the mechanic to do, to avoid future air pressure issues?
#4. Is there anything I am missing?
Thank you for your suggestions.

RE: Home Schooling & RV'ing? Share success stories.
Why is it that when someone makes a comment that someone else perceives as rude, that person feels he/she has the right to make an equally rude comment back?
I, for one, feel uncomfortable whenever anyone writes something nasty.

RE: Frequent Camper, First Disney Trip - Advise Suggested!
I you haven't done so already, I would call the Disney campground and see if there are any available sites. If you are a AAA member, let them know, and you should be able to get a discount on a site.
We do not book any kind of a package. This works best for us.
Also, if you plan to do any character meals, etc, I would book them now.

RE: Please help-leaky valve stems on a camping trip
I appreciate everyone's input. The tire has held air today, but when we get home we will be looking into tire stems.
Thanks everyone for taking the time to answer.

RE: Please help-leaky valve stems on a camping trip
Thanks for the input.
We will be getting new tires next year, and I will look into the possibility of different valve stems.
