RE: Boondocking pet dangers
Always hike with my Basenji but always on leash - no telling what's in a bush, around a rock or where the ledges are or what wild animal is in hiding.

RE: Should I be worried about an RV that is too long?
It's going to be a learning curve for you no matter what. Get what you want and enjoy it!
Exactly. My first RV is my current 40' DP and I tow. It took awhile to get comfortable with the driving and parking but this is the lifestyle I wanted, so I was ready for all the challenges. After 9 years and 55,000 miles I'm very comfortable, but always learning new things.

RE: Location of Onan 7500 fuel filter
Pinch the line from the fuel tank to the filter with a pair of vice grips BEFORE breaking it loose.
Good advise if the supply line happens to be a rubber hose but not all are that way. Mine has 2 metal lines to and from the filter.
x2. I do not trust myself with these lines and fittings so I pay to have it done.

RE: Bought the wrong motorhome!!!
I have a 40' and I boondock quite often. I would not even think about 4 adults and kids in my motorhome - way too small even with three slides. Not sure what you were expecting but you bought that specific MH for a reason. I would try and figure it out before I got a new one.

RE: Are we the only people in all of So Cal who love to camp?
Maybe everyone who lives IN So Cal is trying to get OUT of So Cal...:)
Lol! Isn't that the truth! I would SOooo NOT be living here if I had my choice! Even though I'm a native, I've always loved Northern California...but our work keeps us here - in the rat race, better known as The OC. ;)
Yep. I spend 95% of my time out of California when camping.

RE: How often do you dump
when at least 1/2 full and when I return from a trip. I also fill the tank with water and flush it before I leave on a trip.

RE: Driving with slides out
That's why a final walk around before you move is critical. With a DP do it while the air bags are filling.

RE: Is this normal? Dealer service question.
I would rather take it to the engine and transmission shop myself. That way the service writer is getting first hand information on the problem rather than information filtered from the dealer. Also, it gives me a contact person a little closer to the action. And, I seriously doubt the dealership is going to have their best employees away from the dealership for an hour or two transporting rigs to various shops. I just have the vision of goofball the dealership can most do without being the guy driving my rig around town.
Excellent point!
x2. I have never taken my MH to the dealer for work. It went right to the expert Country Coach recommended while under warranty and now while under extended warranty. The car is different, right to the dealer.

RE: Hand Guns
Shotgun is my prefered home defence .
"home defence" does not stand up when in a RV, especially going from state to state.
Considering if someone breaks in while you are inside, thus not there by invitation, and you can not retreat as some states require (amazing to me), in that situation you are allowed by law to defend yourself. Sounds like home defense in an RV to me.

RE: RV Park for Zion and Bryce NP?
I stay at Ruby's for Arches and Zion RV Resort in Virgin for Zion. My dog loves both as do I. Ruby's has plenty of space if you stay in the "lower" or "back" sections, up front is too tight for me. Zion RV is a typical RV Resort.

RE: Excessive Vet costs?
My guy needed two major surguries and at the time taking him in I was hoping he made it and he would be back with me soon. As he came walking out happy to see me, and me even happier, I saw the bill and said holy *%$#. Thank goodness for pet insurance - it took the sting away.

RE: Hand Guns
Hi Dianne,
My goal is to point out that gun ownership comes with high risks. Since no one on RVnet claims to have whipped out a weapon for defense, why is taking that risk valid?
So it is off topic to talk about consequences of gun ownership? So be it.
They won't be able to travel to Canada with firearms--and Ontario alone has more campgrounds than the whole of the USA.
moderator note....the only posts I have had to delete are pianotuna's. The rest of you have been great with your advice and suggestions.
piano....if your goal is to get this topic closed...you will have to try harder....
DianneOK
I think a small percentage of RV'ers are on RV net. I have been concerned only twice in my life and no one know if or when the next time will be. I was raised on a farm in the mid west and we had rifles and shot guns but no hand guns. When I was 14 mom and dad left me and my sister home while they went to town (15 miles away) to go shopping. Someone came to our door and wanted to borrow, use the phone. I didn't know the person so I refused to let him in. He insisted until I picked up the shot gun that was in the living room and racked the slide, he turn and left. The other time and Im much older. We were camping in the desert alone and about 3AM someone drove to within a few feet of the camper door. Two of them got out and started walking around. I had no idea what they were up to and didn't ask. I reached for my Ruger SR40 sat up in bed and pointed it at the door. Had they forced open door I would have opened fire. They walked around for a little bit and then left. They didn't take anything. I didn't turn on a light or make any sounds. No one knows if or when then next time will be that I may need to defend myself, but I will be ready. I have no need, desire, or reason to ever go to Canada so not worried at Canadian laws
Good post. I had three situations in my 9 years of rv'ing during daylight hours, in very busy areas, where I stopped the MH for some rest. I did not have to draw, but it was pretty darn close and they knew it and they took off. I train at a training facility 5 times a year. Training not only in accuracy but in awareness.

RE: Inverter and house Batteries?
To address the Xantrex ve Magnum question I'm switching out my 2000 MSW Xantrex 480 Inverter for a 2000 Prosine Magnum. My inverter is fine but with my residential fridge I want the Prosine. The suggestion to switch brands was from a former Country Coach tech who's currently working on my coach and specializes in electrical systems including Silverleaf. His experience says the new Magnums are better than Xantrex. Also, with Magnum I can get service 30 minutes from my house, if needed.

RE: Grand Teton Park, Moran, WY
Planning to stay at Grand Teton Park, Moran, WY, any advice on this park (easy road access, park reality, etc...) Thanks
Stayed there a few years ago. Nothing fancy but I like it because it's out in the country. I'm not big on Colter Bay.
