RE: "You can't stay here, your trailer is too old."

You guys are funny. I dont think they really care if you go off in a huff say Ill just take my busness else where. If its a privite park they can make any rules they like. If I owned a park it have a no dog rule.

RE: Where's the navigation bar?

It appears that if the thread only has one page there isn't a nav bar, otherwise there is, at least on the couple of multi page thread that I checked.
Yes but where there are more than one page the one at the bottome is still missing

RE: Debt Collection Calls

Now, you need a pretty good vocabulary and the willingness to use it, and what you want is to make it VERY personal as in directing all obscenities specifically at the person you are talking to. ("Listen you #$#%#%#$# piece of )(*&(*&B you are such a #$#%$#$@$@#$#% #$#%#$@##$# that it is a wonder you are able to speak without $#$@#$@%#$#@#$ yourself, and so on...) And no skimping! You need to make this an unpleasant enough experience that they don't ever WANT to talk to you again, and don't forget to add "and you're going to hear this, you *(&(*^*&%T*%% EVERY TIME YOU CALL HERE!" And of course keep the volume UP. It takes effort, but it can be done. I'm normally very nice on the phone, but in the end I decided nice wasn't getting the job done.
I did that to the warranty company that keep calling. It showed up on the caller ID as something to do with warrantys. They would call everyday and sometimes twice. Got fed up with it an answered one and did what you did. It would have made a sailor proud. They never called back.

RE: Towing Without Proper Mirrors

I think in CA you are suppose to be able to see someone who is 200' behind you. However I have never heard of anyone getting a ticket for not being able to see something at 200'

RE: Debt Collection Calls

I have caller ID so if your name and number dont display I dont answer. If you leave a message and I know you I will call you back. If I dont know you and want to talk to you I will call you back other than that you can forget talking to me.

RE: Colter Bay, WY

There are no "off season" rates at Colter Bay RV Park. It closes sometime around mid to late September and is usually 100% full except for late May and maybe early June. I would make reservations in any case.
This differs from the campground which last year only filled in late July to mid-August. It has over 300 spaces with no hookups but does have water available, a dump station and bathrooms.
The RV park has just over 100 spaces with full hookups. Reservations can be made through the Grand Teton Lodge Company for the RV park. The campground is first come first served.
I worked there last year.

I plan on using the no hookup park in Colter Bay area. So your saying I shouldnt have a problem if I jusg show up in late June

RE: Rt 66

....
I always wonder how they got the simis over that section. Im sure the road surface was better then than now but it was still just as narrow and tight turns
hpk
For starters, the semi-tractor itself & the trailers were a lot shorter & narrower back in "the day". I think OTR tractors with twin drive axles were a relative rarity until after WWII, and I believe trailers weren't much over 36 or 40 feet. My grandad sold Macks in NC & SC going back to when they had solid rubber tires and chain drive in the late 19-teens. He told a few hair-raisers about driving new units over the primitive roads of the era for delivery.
Jim, "You can't get there from here."
Yea I know. I have been on that section in the last couple of years and would think it was still a challange even with a 30 footer. I had driven it several times in the 60's but dont remember much about it.

RE: Colter Bay, WY

Be advised that Colter Bay has two different camping areas. It sounded like rv2go was talking about the "no hookup section" when he said "it is according to which side of the road you are on". You don't want to be in the "no hookups" section if you can avoid it. The way to avoid it is calling in your reservation now. This is a very popular park; the nicest state park I have visited. I have a 40' motorhome and had room to spare. You will have no problem.
Why dont you want to be in the no hookup one?
Yea one is $50 and the other is $20 or $10 if you have a Golden Age Passport.

RE: Discrimination against RV's bigger than 30'

Is your neighbors objection to you parking or to you running a diesel engine???
I would not want my neighbor running a smelly, noisy diesel engine in my residential neighborhood. I have no objection to parking a large motorhome.
-Tom
I'd park it in front of your house every chance I got and let it idle.

RE: Colter Bay, WY

We were there this past June. As it was early in the season, just a few loops open. In the loops that were open were several sites that would take any size rig. The sites are on both sides of the road. I guess you would call then "pull thru" Depending on which side of the road you are on will dictate whether your door opens on the street or the wooded area.
Are you saying that in June not all loops are open. The reason is snow or not enough demand for them to open them. I plan on being there around 6-23/24.

RE: Overheard in the woods during deer season

After a heated discussion: Yes Mam, Yes Mam, you shot him, it's your deer, I don't dispute that. Just let me get my saddle off him and I'll be on my way.
Yep, my friend in CO say the 3 most feared things in CO is a Texan with a hunting lic, a New Mexican with a drivers lic and a Californian with a U-Haul. Aperantly someone shot a couple of horses in his town also.

RE: 99 F 250 Recall

dang, after so many years I get the recall on the antique powerstroke.
I thought the cover your butt stuff in the recall was kinda humerous.
One sentence is as follows: Until you have the recall performed, park your vehicle outdoors away from structures to prevent a potential fire from spreading. I am gonna have it done, but just couldn't park the ole girl out in the rain last night.
I thought that was perty funny to as I have and 2000.
