RE: cat tranquilizer
no, of course not. Just to get them in the coach and used to it for a few hours. Certainly not drugged. Just to calm them down.These two are family members and they stay with us day and night and sleep in the bed. Only RVing we have done in a past few years is to have one of our kids come by and feed them. Only reason for this time is length of the trip and the usual feeder is going to be in Ireland for 10 days.

RE: cat tranquilizer
Nothing. Let them adjust. If you cage them that may just make things worse. They're curious creatures who will be more comfortable looking at and smelling everything. They need to know their new environment.
What is your plan for being at a campground?
They traveled with us to NC Pilot Mountain country a few years ago and did OK. Parked at Mayberry CG they did find until a stiff breeze caught the awning and tilted up and they were watching pedestrian traffic lying on the dash. Off they went to the bedroom and under the covers. This was just a 'leave and arrive' trip, but driving all day may leave them wanting to get outside for a while.
I think a collar,vest and tags might be a good idea. I can open the Bauer lift door and they can see out thru the steel mesh and not get out. That may help them some.
Planning a few overnites (before the big trip) to acclimate them.

cat tranquilizer
We have a journey of approximately 2000 miles to western Montana and then back to Atlanta. Have to take a pair of fixed female cats with us due to no one being left at home for them.
What do you use to calm your kitties until they can adjust to traveling for the first few days? If liquid, how do you administer it?

RE: Fuel tank leaks when we fill it
Steel or plastic tank? I might look at the synthetic hose between the filler cap and tank - crack or leak? vent with a loose connection into tank? Leak where the wires go come from the tank float to the outside?
Could be several places I guess.

RE: Diesel Chassis service
I might try with a local truck stop with a shop and see if they can do what you require. Most every TS in this area has an adjacent shop or a shop nearby.

RE: Magic Chef Stove identify
I tried to order a silicon stovetop cover for our stove and the source on the site I tried to order from did not have it listed. Maybe I didn't have the right model/number?

RE: best route, West to East?
80 : From Salt Lake City to Rock Springs will be the most mountains you deal with on 80. More trucks on 80 and pretty boring ride - long stretches of barren countryside. I get nervous when fuel starts getting below a half tank.
70: Don't know how you will get from NorCal to 70 because it starts at I-15. Much more mountains from there until you get through Denver. THat is another PIA for me.
Personally, I would run 80 even if it might be more boring and fewer potential fuel stops.

RE: 301 in Ga. and SC
301 around Orangeburg is confusing due to the rerouting of the highways thru town. Not a traffic jam like 95 but there is heavy traffic sometimes. We go from Lincolnton Ga cross country in order to get to I-26 toward Charleston.

RE: Pet Peeves in RV Parks
Quick story. Back in 2000, We camped at a local state park on a major reservoir on big river. We had a nice campsite across a small inlet from another site with a couple with a baby and dog. We could hear the dog bark and the baby cry. They kept a fire in the fire pit the entire time they were there. When the breeze got up the smoke blew directly into our site. Aggravating, but we were nice about it. Nothing we could do anyway. They packed up and left early one morning as their time expired that day. The smoke and odor continued. I walked around the inlet to see what was going on. The pit was full of cans and trash, and I believe every nasty crappy diaper the baby had used their entire stay there. Not burning, just smoldering and smoking and stinking. I ended up with my water hose with steamy stinking smoke still blowing toward us. It finally went out, but I did not envy the hosts that had to clean the pit.
I have wondered if I did wrong or should have let burn everything that would have. I guess I would do it again or maybe found another site

Ole and Sven were taking a vacation in Sven's new camper. As usual, they'd become lost and were wandering around a strange town trying to find the highway.
Sven was just starting down a grade to go under a bridge when he slams on the brakes.
Ole: Vat da heck you do dat for, Sven?
Sven: Dat sign dere says "Low Bridge. No Vehicles Over Twelve Feet High." Dis here camper is t'irteen feet!
Ole: Cripes almighty Sven, dere ain't no cops around. Yust hit da gas pedal and go for it!

RE: Campground close to Atlanta
Anywhere off 85 north of town will be a pain getting in and out of town with all the construction going on now. Top side of 285 is also VERY heavy traffic for the same reasons

RE: Insert pins
Thanks guys. I will use the grooved pin and check often. Oh, and remove the insert before it leaves the shop next time

Insert pins
Loaned my Ram 1500 to a relative the other day and upon return the insert from the hitch was in the bed but the pin was missing. I had a pin with a hole that a clip key slid into. I was pretty sure this would not come out as it was hard to pull w/o pliers. Not a big deal to replace but I needed to use the truck. Local hardware and the only thing he had was a Reese pin with a groove around the end that the hairpin style clip fits around. Is on style safer than the other? Just seems like the clip through the pin would be less likely to come out. Am I worried for no reason?

RE: RV park "STANDARDS"
we don't have a dog in this fight, but we do try to avoid them whenever there is other places to stay. Costs are usually higher with every little thing. i.e. Front row, water front, kids, pull through site. etc, etc.
We stayed at the KOA in Mr Pleasant SC one late Fall season and were given one of the best sites on the property. Then the construction crew showed up digging and adding more sites beside the pond. Still the best KOA we have stayed at. We were there because of the short distance to our favorite restaurants in the area on Shem Creek
