RE: mileage with a diesel
Our mileage was about 11 miles per gallon with our previous 5.9 L 2003 Dodge and a 10,000 lb trailer. We now get about 9 miles per gallon with a 12,000 lb trailer, we usually drive between 60 and 65.

Extended Service Plan in Canada
We have purchase a new to us SunnyBrook Titan, the dealership had offered an extended service plan, I decided to hold off until I had done enough research to determine if it would be worthwhile. The plan they offered was through Good Sam, which is not available in Canada, does anyone know of a company that offers an extended service plan for used 5th wheels in Canada? I've done a google search and tried to look up Cornerstone which we had a plan through on our Okanagan but had no luck. So do any of you know of a company?
Thanks
Michael

Boarding a dog in El Fuerte
We would like to take a Copper Canyon train trip from El Fuerte and would be gone a maximum of 4 days. We would like to stay at RV Park De El Fuerte and wonder if there is anywhere nearby that we could board our dog. He is a very spoiled German Shepherd that has not spent a lot of time in kennels.

Wii's and dogs
We purchase a Wii and when we try to play the game our German Shepherd starts barking. I'm thinking that the pitch from the machine hurts his ears. Anyone else have this problem?
Thanks

RE: Buying 5ver from US to Canada
We just brought a 5th wheel back from Arizona, you do not need to have the paperwork sent to the border, unless you have a motor in the vehicle in fact you do not have to even stop at US customs. You will have to stop at Canadian Customs and declare the purchase where you will need your bill of sale, and title. At this time you will have to pay GST and pay for an inspection ($200+ plus an additional $100 in you have air conditioning, for a travel trailer you do not need a recall letter, we thought we would but you don't. The trailer needs to have CSA approval or a similar sticker approving it in the US, you don't need that to cross the border but will need it for the inspection.
You have 45 days to have you trailer inspected the RIV (Registrar of Imported Vehicles) will send you an email with a form that needs to be filled out by the inspecting facility, again take all forms including the form that you received at the border from customs. The inspection takes about 20 minutes and looks at the CSA/equivalent sticker, tires and verifies the VIN once that is done you can then register your trailer in Canada.
One word of warning in BC once I did all of the above I went to register my trailer and they had to personally verify the vin so even though I just had Ottawa verify it, I had to hook up my trailer and take to them to have them read the vin again. If you have any questions contact RIV I found them to be very helpful.

RE: Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel Avalable in Mexico?
After doing extensive reading I decided to try Mexican diesel in my 2007 Dodge, truck ran great no problems at all. I only used Mexican diesel when hauling the 5th wheel so I don't know if there would be more build up if I was just "running around" and making only short trips.

RE: Most Dogs
Shouldn't this be based on weight, we have a 120 lb German Shepherd. Isn't that worth 5 Shelties?

Hiway 37 from Caborca to Puerto Penasco
I originally posted this in Roads and Routes but haven't had a reply so I'll repeat the post here. We have friends that are leaving WH Kino Bay tomorrow and would like to take highway 37 from Caborca to Puerto Penasco. Is this a suitable route for a truck and 5th wheel?
Thanks

RE: Travelling to Kino Bay
If anyone is interested, I had my GPS (Trips and Streets) track our trip to Kino Bay, this might make the Hemosilla bypass a bit easier. If you would like a copy send me a PM.

RE: Travelling to Kino Bay
Hi
Thanks all for you input, we are safe and sound in WH Kino Bay. Yes the last 10 miles is not for the faint of heart but the view from our 5er is well worth the hour drive in. We are already booking for next year.

RE: Boat Permits for Fishing in Mexico No Longer Required
Thanks lilhowlinwolf, we plan to fish from a boat available at the resort that we are staying in, but it belongs to a resident of the resort not a guide. So we need to bring our own gear. So now I know what I need.

Indian Waters
This is our first snowbird trip and we are presently in Indian Waters in Indio. Are there any RV forum members in this park? We are new at this and would like some help deciding which of the main things in the Indio, Palm Springs area are worth doing.
Thanks
