RE: CC&R dated 1973 says no RVs, trailers, boats can be stored

We have neighbors that break every CC&R in the book and have been reported to the City dozens of times. There is no enforcement. They may have gotten a few letters from the City but no punitive enforcement whatsoever. (No HOA)

RE: Gas Credit Cards

CC cash backs are nothing but a toy, not worth bothering with..
We use a Southwest CC and get a few free flights a year. I guess if you are as rich as you are, it is a bother. Us, we buy what we would ordinarily buy and pay off the card every month for free stuff.

RE: Cordless blowers

I carry a 20v Worx. also two batteries. Worx fine for me!!
I bought this one and found it on the weak side. When I purchased it I considered the 32V but got cheap. For OP, whatever brand you get, look for the highest voltage you can afford.

RE: RV Manufacture warranty

Don't be put off by the "dealer you bought it from" issue because even they have no obligation to fix anything under warranty. Every time that I took my trailer back to my dealer they said that they had to wait for manufacturer approval before starting work. It wasn't always given either.

RE: Battery Life

opnspaces has you dialed in with the multi meter. FYI, a battery can show a good charge but fail a load test so taking them to your nearest auto parts store to get tested or buy the HF version and it will help confirm bad batteries. Check the fluid levels.

RE: 2014 Keystone Alpine Hydraulic Jacks 6 Jack System

Your underbelly should probably be plastic panels that are just screwed in. Take a couple of panels off and see what you see. Post a couple of pics and we can go from there.

RE: Front Cap Cover

Upholstery shop makes a bra that just snaps on. Probably only require a small step ladder in the bed of the truck to snap on.

RE: Do you sanitize your black tank?

"Sanitize" might different things to different people. Using chemicals of any kind could be considered as sanitize in my mind. It certainly doesn't mean germ free. Consider the name, "sanitary napkin".

RE: Air Bag Pressure

I am a retired mechanical engineer and I go with numbers and ratings. Equipment is designed and rated to be safe by engineers, not backyard mechanics. Believe what you wish and the best of luck on the air springs and over loaded trucks.
Ken
Ken, just curious, what's your response to severe truck squat well before your numbers and sticker ratings are reached?

RE: Air Bag Pressure

Around 50-55 psi gets the rear off the overloads on mine.
I want mine on the overloads for stability and I pressure for level and nothing else, about 10 - 15 psi when unloaded works best for me. I haven't measured what it is when loaded.

RE: Rear Bumper Mud Guards

Would putting them up front make a difference? I had a front hitch installed and use it for everything from carrying my bikes to firewood on my hillbilly basket.

RE: Price increase at our KOA

As for how we have come out of this, the long standing guy in the park with the best site has decided to move down the road to a cheaper campground so I asked if I could have that spot. Psychologically, I'm paying more but have the best site in the park versus paying more and getting moved to a worse site than I had. And as an added bonus, some of the drama has decided to leave so hopefully it will be a drama free summer.

RE: Price increase at our KOA

The long and the short of it is that all the seasonal folks like ourselves were getting a large discount over the daily rate. The new owners feel like it is too much of a discount. Many of our seasonal friends are leaving due to the price increase which means they can now convert to dailies and an even higher rate.

RE: Hanging with the Animals

If visiting southern Utah for the national parks, Zion, Bryce, Best Friends is a cool place. Thousands of acres devoted to animals in a beautiful setting. Lots of tours and opportunities for hands on.

RE: Small Grills

I bake in my grille, all it take is a pizza stone. If one diffuses the heat properly, it can do everything. Bacon on a $.99 cent store foil cookie sheet. Just takes some experimenting and I know your existing equipment can do what you want.

RE: Price increase at our KOA

So tell the owner you are going to publicly name them and there is the next town over.
No where near going nuclear yet. Discussions with them have just started.

RE: Price increase at our KOA

There must be some corporate standards, possibly not about contracts and customer relations, but I see a number of ex-KOAs around the country and they got the boot for something. Customer complaints may start their slide on the way out.
If they are still a campground, what might be happening is after a few years the owner is tired of KOA corporate dipping into their pocket and dictating how things are run. They can use the KOA advertising and eventually separate themselves from the corporate chain.

RE: Price increase at our KOA

In my case, it is further complicated by them being the only game in town and they apparently know it.
I've talked with the new owner today and some negotiations are starting.
