RE: Funny Town Names?
-You have to drive through Beaverlick, KY to get to Big Bone Lick State Park
I know several ways to get to Big Bone Lick SP without going through Beaverlick.
I've always enjoyed the drive from Napoleon to Waterloo. They're only about twenty miles apart.

RE: North Carolina natives
Do you mean current residents, or from? I was born there, but left about 50 years ago.

RE: Towing a Ford Escape Hybrid Auto-Trans, 2WD
We tow our Escape flat. Why would you want a dolly? Just put it in neutral, release the parking brake, turn the key all the way back, and go. Our Hybrid is all wheel drive, so maybe that makes a difference?

RE: Kentucky - I66 and KY80 from Mammoth Cave to Corbin
The Parkway was rerouted about 3 years ago, and the last time we were there (2 years ago?) the signs took us out of the way too, and the GPS was no help. Maybe our new GPS would do better. Glad you found your way.

RE: Advice Please on Auto Levelers
Our leveling system frequently has the front tires an inch or two off the ground. So far that's never caused a problem.

RE: Going down mountains
You didn't say what year your unit is, but if it's a recent Ford E-450 it has a tow/haul button that takes care of a lot of downhill situations. It causes the transmission to downshift even though you keep it in drive. For most mountains in the East, that's all you need to keep things under control.

RE: Engine maintenance needs?
Thanks for posting the report on Fuller Ford. I'd probably use them if they weren't on the wrong side of the bridge. Always good to have choices.

RE: Engine maintenance needs?
My dealer told me they have engine work done at both Fuller and Haag. They didn't recommend one over the other or anything, and since Haag was less traffic from here I went to them. Can't say I've heard anything bad about Fuller, just no personal experience.

RE: Engine maintenance needs?
OP here - Going the route of having a ford truck dealer do the oil change. Their price and the camper dealer price is the same. Figure go to who made the engine. It's high (IMHO) at $90. Surprised at reading posts on the Internet that people get ford dealers to do for $40 ish. Maybe supply and demand. None of the ford dealers who are more based in cars will do it. So needing to go to the only ford truck dealer in town. Anybody from the Cincinnati area get better pricing? As an aside the wife said 'NO!" to me doing it. Also does anyone do once a year versus every 6 months? If If i change the oil in the fall, only drive the unit maybe 25 miles per month over the winter, seems like overkill to change the oil again in the spring only 150 miles later. I know it's age or mileage whichever comes first but just asking. Thanks!
Haag Ford in Lawrenceburg does mine for $40'ish. I believe some of the regular services will be more, like around 30,000 miles but we haven't hit one of the more expensive ones yet. Our Winnebago dealer charges about $100 for the same service. Good luck.

RE: Do cell phones and Wi-Fi belong in national parks?
They are our parks and should respond to our needs, and this question arises from time to time as times change. Oh, whether to have flush toilets!! Personally, I see people focused on their texting walking straight over the side in droves. Now who can argue that doesn't outweight the cons?
At least you could call 911 on your way down.

RE: Towing a CMax
It may not be towable as it has continuously variable transmission.
The only reason we can tow our 08 Hybrid is because it has a CVT. The regular 08 Escape with the regular transmission couldn't be towed.

RE: Cold Class C Ques - newbies
The heat pump in our unit will also turn on the propane furnace if it can't keep up the temperature, so you end up using both. It saves a lot of propane if the heat pump can supply most of the heat. I have no idea if they all work the same way or if it's just Winnebago that works that way. Good luck.

RE: No more Twinkies???
When we were camping in Copper Harbor Mich a few years ago, there was a problem bear in the CG. The wildlife guy brought in a cage and laid out a trail of twinkies for bait, and trapped the bear in about 10 minutes. Really something to see. Wonder what they'll use for bait now?

RE: do most of you remove the coach battery in the winter
I leave mine in place, drive the unit once a month, run the gen 2 hours monthly, and turn the battery switch off except when driving or using the gen. No problems so far.

RE: Asheville NC to Boone NC
Were it me. I'd run 40 to Marion, 221 to to 105, and 105 to Boone. Runnig 221 into Blowing Rock. No other way to say it. 221 to Blowing Rock SUKs, you will NOT enjoy it. so skip it, and run 105 to Boone. And in fact 105 is the 221 truck route. You will come into Boone past Grandfather Mountain CG, Flintlock, CG, right into the 105/ 221 / 421 intersection at Wendy's.
FYI. 221 out of Marion gets steep, and twisty towards the top as well, but once on 105. Its an easy ride to Boone.
X2 -- 221 from Linville to Blowing Rock is great for motorcycles and sports cars, but no fun for a camper.

New running board skid pad?
The skid pad on my running board is peeling off. Anyone know where you can buy new pads, and what kind of glue should be used to stick them on? I figure maybe Auto Zone or another auto supply store might be a source, but first I'll ask here.
