RE: Off the beaten path to do/see in ME - Acadia
We see beautiful sunsets over Western Bay, looking west towards Blue Hill. We camp at the Bar Harbor KOA, where the bay is right in front of our rig. Sunsets also would be spectacular (as are sunrises!) from the top of Cadillac Mountain.

RE: What tires do you suggest?
Can you tell any difference with the Michelins?
My understanding is the Michelins have a more flexible sidewall that some have complained getting more side-to-side motion with. The Bridgestones are S-speed rated (versus R for the Michelins) which usually means a stiffer sidewall.

I have Michelin LT now, and had good luck for 7 years with a set of OEM Bridgestones.
Yes, the Michelins seem a little "squishier" but ride and handle fine. BTW, we had 35,000 miles on the Bridgestones with plenty of tread left. They looked fine - no cracks or checking - but were going into their 8th year so I was afraid they were "ageing out". Didn't want to get far from home and have a problem. Got a good deal and installation from my local repair shop on the Michelins.

RE: Cape cod
The Cape has changed a lot since '65! Patti Page sang "If your fond of sand dunes and salty air..." Well, if you are, avoid the Hyannis area like the plague and head for the Outer Cape or the North Shore (Route 6A). Be sure to stop for a lobster Roll at the Sesuit Harbor Café in Dennis! We "driveway camp" on the Cape 2 or 3 times a year, so can't help you much with specific CGs, but Sweetwater in Brewster has a good rep...

RE: Maine Seacoast Sights
kfp - a quick reply that would apply to all of coastal Maine. If you are thinking of July 4th anywhere on the coast you'd better make reservations NOW, parks fill up fast on Holidays. We reserve our sites a year ahead. As for beaches, the farther north you get the colder the water will be! Sand Beach at Acadia would be mighty cold in July. it's a beautiful spot and lots of folks enjoy the beach, but there won't be many in the water! We always swam at the nice fresh water beach at Echo Lake.

RE: A Class B I can drive in town and that has a REAL bed?
We keep our twin beds permanently made up in the back of our Roadtrek. This also can apply to the 190. If you need more comfort, just use a piece of foam or a camping mattress. We leave all the backrest cushions at home. Even our 210 is easily driven through city streets and even though we might have to walk a bit (or pay for two metered spaces) we've always been able to park.

RE: Is it worth while listing campgrounds with difficult access.
We live on a dirt road with difficult access as well as having a summer cottage with the same. Both places are great for privacy. That's why we love our Class B and have been very happy for almost 10 years. Of course it is worth
while listing places with difficult access, but perhaps it could be mentioned. Let the customer decide!

RE: Bar Harbor Campground
I believe all the CGs on Mt Desert and the close surrounding area are on the Trolley Route. We can do day trips in our compact rig so don't use them, but our friends who use them rave about them. BTW, the Trolleys run on propane so are quiet with little pollution. They are sponsored by LL Bean - one more reason to patronize that great Maine institution!

RE: Spring gulch
We also like Country Haven. Best CG view in the area. But - there is really nothing for kids to do and they do enforce their rules - something we appreciate!

RE: An Unexpected Bonus
My FIL is elderly and has a cat. Our puppy is not welcome overnight, and we are not comfortable trying to sleep in his stuffy house. So... he has installed 20 amp service and a TV cable that we can access from his garage, so we all are very comfortable driveway camping in the RT! Have been doing this for at least 6 years. A bonus is that all this takes place on Cape Cod!

RE: Dog friendly parks Cape Cod-Maine
I think Barkley would be welcome in most places - as long as he doesn't live up to his name! We've never had any trouble anywhere - even though one of our dogs was pretty big.

RE: Season Opener! - (2nd attempt...)
Loggenrock,
It's not the snow or cold that holds us back - it's the mud everywhere we want to go! Spring is slow to come to Joe's Pond in Vermont - still 16" of ice!

RE: It's that time of the year....dog complaints.
Yes. SOS. While we are at it: Let's also c/o noisy/cussing neighbors, drunk neighbors,cigarette smokers, littering, cutting thru campsites, idling engines, generators, friendly campers, unfriendly campers,traffic, gas prices, etc. Did I miss anything?
Welcome to camping!!!
At the risk of REALLY starting something - I think you missed guns...

RE: Re: Question on RoadTrek Bumper Cover
I've always been tempted just to take off the plastic "bumpers" altogether. The RTs I've seen without them look more stealthy and to me neater. We bought our rig off the lot and if I had ordered I would have deleted the ground effects. No plastic would also cure the dreaded "curb anxiety"...

RE: 2012 Most Visited National Parks
Amazing that almost 3 million people visit tiny Acadia! We camp nearby in September/October and practically have the Park to ourselves. The NP CGs are closed or closing at that time, though...

RE: TOWING A VEHICLE (TOAD) WITH A CLASS B
Don't know how long you will be staying at the condo or how often, but perhaps renting a car just while needed or buying one to leave down there might be an alternative idea to consider. The cost of equipping a car to tow, the extra fuel costs associated with towing, and the extra strain and shorter life of the B's power train because of towing makes my suggestion something to consider.
Agree!
