RE: Valve Stuck Open
Happy is correct. A few of mine only lasted a year. Replace the valve and maybe the cable.

RE: Canuck, snowbirds extra 2 months per year in the USA
At least BC health will let you go for 7 months without losing your coverage. As an Albertan, I'll still be limited to 6.

RE: CANADA - RV battery recomendation needed ...
Its been a few years but I got Trojan T-105s from a battery place north of the 401 in Mississauga. I think I used the internet but it was 5+ years ago. The batteries were great (still in use) and so was the place I got them, but I,m from western Canada so I really don't remember the place.

RE: Looking for San Antonio,TX area for this coming winter
Might be OK but too cold for me. Travellers, Blazing Star or perhaps Admiralty are OK parks. Would be nice in Nov or March weather wise.

RE: Lake Havasu recommendations
Agree with Havasu Falls. Daily rate a bit much but monthly rate is good. Our Verizon worked OK when we stayed there.

RE: Verizon cell phones in Canada
We are Canadian and use Verizon 365/yr with 6 months in Canada. (North American Plan $59/mon for 1450 minutes) Works great for us and no pesky extra fees like 411, 911 connection etc that we had with our Rogers plan years ago.

RE: Who drives a F-350 as their sole vehicle and likes it?
Depends how much you tow and how much you drive not towing. Have done it both ways and now have the F-350 for towing and a small car for other things. We fulltime and drive both. What we found was that paying insuranceX2, depreciation X 2, double fuel while moving, was still cheaper than using the F-450 (now have 350 dually but started with F-450) for everything. This will vary depending upon how much "daily driving" you do but in our case the convenience and economics make having 2 vehicles a no brainer.

RE: Why snowbird vs full-time?
As I understand it snowbirding is going south for the winter and fulltiming is living in your rv 365/yr. They are not mutually exclusive. I am both a fulltimer and a snowbirder. I know some fulltimers who are not snowbirders and some snowbirders who are not fulltimers. As to why people are one, the other, neither or both....the answers are as numerous as there are people. In my case I love the fulltiming lifestyle with no roots and I hate cold weather but also don't like 100+ temps.

RE: Montana/Alberta Broder Crossing
I'd say go whatever way is on your route. As a Canadian who snowbirds we cross a few times every year at lots of different crossings. (from Alberta so use Sweetgrass fairly often) The worst was at a small one customs official dinky place between Sask and N Dakota. Like some have said, I think the guy was bored and made us pull out all slides while he went throught every cupboard and drawer. I'm not saying that small crossings are bad, we've had good and bad experiences everywhere.

RE: What is your Bed rail to the ground height for a FW???
Bought a 2012 F-350 dually last summer. It is 54" top of box to ground (unloaded). I chose the Ford over the GM (57") and Dodge (58")because of the box height issue. All measurements were taken by me at the dealers lot. All were 3500 series duallies 4 X 4.

RE: Basement Cargo slide tray
Had an RV without and now one with. You lose about 6" of storage height. Would never get it again.

RE: Cell phone recommendations
I second the advise to have your carrier add Canada. We use Verizon and it works perfect in Canada. Worth checking on the additional cost.....you keep your same phone number etc....

RE: snowbird on east coast or west ?
To answer your question, South Florida is warmer than San Diego but both are nice. We have found the cost of each is about the same, but so cal is less busy. We enjoy both.
EDIT...sorry.....see you were talking about Florida not the USA.

RE: Vancouver-Jasper-Banff-Lake Louise-Calgary
Not sure why you are doing a hotel for the Stampede. Stay in Cochrane (just west of Calgary) and you can drive to the end of the Light Rail (C-train) which takes you right to the Stampede. 2 campgrounds in Cochrane (both good) and I'm pretty sure you can get a spot now. Call them...don't rely on their websites which always show them full.

RE: Wi-Fi How Come?
My Verizon has a 3 Gig limit per month. We only use it for e-mail (no pix or attachments) and surfing the net and usually use the 3 Gig. This is why I always try to use park wi-fi (try is the word lately) to ensure I do not exceed my limit.

RE: Wi-Fi How Come?
Thanx for all the responses. Good info but really I was just venting. In the last couple of months I have been to a bunch of RV parks who made a big deal about the Wi-fi they were providing which really didn't measure up. All I wanted to do was check e-mail but rarely was able to connect and when questioned about it was told "it must be your computer". Funny that the computer worked perfectly at the libraries or fast food places. I know that most parks do not offer the greatest wi-fi (for reasons most of you mentioned) and I really don't have a problem with that, but making a big deal about your supplied wi-fi that really doesn't deliver (or work at all) was what prompted my original post. I think we have now beat it to death? I'm going to move on....thanx again for the responses.

Wi-Fi How Come?
We have a Verizon Mi-fi deal for wi-fi but we have a usage limit so we occassionally use rv park supplied wi-fi. How come, you can go to Mcdonalds and get adequate wi-fi even if there are 20 people using it, and almost all rv park wi-fi (free or paid) is really bad? I know parks cover more area than a Macdonalds eatery, but really....what's the deal?
