RE: Changes from 2004 to 2008 models
I would not say that most RV's built today are 'improved' from 4 years ago... or 8 years ago etc. If anything I have found that quality, cost savings and cut corners are more evident on newer trailers as they try to squeeze out every cent of profit...

RE: Canadians Buying in the US - CSA Approval & Warranty
Go to RV direct, I have been looking at them for my upgrade, very helpful. Addressed the whole CSA stuff and will deliver to the nearest border town, or direct to you for a little more $$ Still a way better deal than the RIP OFF the dealers are pulling up here, do it now while our dollar is very strong.

RE: Pilgrim travel trailors
Like any 'new' company they had their schtick on service and satisfying the customer to gain a foothold in the industry. Now that they are there they are like any other company, bottom line is profits. Mark my words we will see the same in a couple of years from Tango and such...

RE: Trimming Memory foam to fit?
I ordered the standard size and trimmed myself. Thickness is only part of the equation, density is the other. We have a 2" piece quite dense and it is great... Cannot remember the density 'number' though...
To cut, place on large hard floor, like basement concrete etc. take a long piece of wood ( 2x4 ) or similar. Place on the cut line and press down ( wood on the 'usable side'. Take a SHARP utility knife and cut along the compressed wood edge, will get a decent clean cut.

RE: DO ANY OTHER GMC 6.0 LITER GAS ENGINES HAVE THIS PROBLEM
Google 'piston slap' and you will find a LOT of info on it, all from no harm at all, to this is the end of the world.
Also, if you do a search on it here, you will find a lot of topics too, seemed to be a big topic about a year or two ago...

RE: Questions on costs when ordering a generator from US to Can.
Thanks for all the great replies, this is one topic that seemed to have little info till now!
I was listening to the radio today about how our 'prices' in Canada have stalled at about 18% over the same product in the US despite the equal currency. Now I do understand that there are other factors to create this difference, BUT I sure as heck cannot justify paying a 54% premium for the same genny here or from the States, even if I have to pay the associated 'fees' to get it here. Once I figure out the company ( Cabelas is back ordered and on for $1099) and the costs I will let all know!
Thanks again

RE: Questions on costs when ordering a generator from US to Can.
Timber, did you go down for any length of time or just to buy the genny? I could possibly go across to buy one, but don't have the option of staying 7 days to max out my exemption... Let me know!
Thanks!

Questions on costs when ordering a generator from US to Can.
I am looking at buying a yamaha 2400 from a supplier in the States. My question is for anyone who has done this in the recent past. Price is quite good and I want to know what other 'charges' and their amounts I can expect to pay, to see if it is still a good deal.
So there will be the shipping cost, the duties ( I believe about 10%, can anyone confirm/). And the brokerage fee ( how much can this run?)
Am I missing anything, and any help on the above cost is great.
FYI - retail in US about $1099, plus about $120 shipping.
Cost here $1700 CDN, is this still a good deal when all costs factored in?
Thanks for your help!

RE: can rubber roof be peeled back for repair?
Mike, I have done ceiling repair, albeit from the inside, as it was a major rebuild. To me, depending on where the soft spot is, it may be easier to cut out and replace. Your roof membrane should not be glued down in the middle, only on the edges so can be easy. You are right the material is very thin luan board or similar. You will need to replace any wet insulation with new, replace the cut out piece of roof and then put on an oversize piece of membrane. I think that you would want to only glue the new membrane to the exisiting membrane and not the roof itself. Afterwards you can trim out with eternabond tape to finalize the seal.
This is very topline and I am sure that others here will have more detailed and better advice. But if it was me this is how I think I would tackle it... Good luck!

RE: I Hate the Provincial Park Money Envelope
Again, don't pay at the box, they WILL come to your site to collect and you can pay in person.... Cash or Credit, not to big a deal.
