RE: Grand Isle SP, LA
Thanks for the notice, memth. I hope things are straightened out in the next couple of weeks. Too late to change plans now. We'll just have to call once we near there. Appreciate the heads up.

Fridge spring tension rods
Does any one use these spring loaded tension bars/rods in your fridge while traveling to keep things from cascading out when you open the door? I saw some from Camping World that seem like they'd work. I'd think that curtain rods would work the same, as long as they were rust proof.
What do you use & where'd you get them? And/or what is better? Cheaper & easier?
thanks

RE: Grand Isle SP, LA
Thanks JKJavelin. We just returned from Wisconsin/UP in October and were using that trip as a barometer for insects. Really appreciate you input. We'll see.

a good weather radio
Just returned from a trip to Oklahoma and while on the trip I broke out our old crank style weather radio/flashlight. Cranked my bloody arm off and barely got static. Long story short am in the market for a new one.
A complication to the issue is that we were in a dead zone. No cell service nor wifi at all. No radio or tv, nothing, just wind.
So with all this in mind I really doubt that a cell phone app would work. What is out there that is effective, but reasonable price wise, and doesn't rely on cell signal nor wifi or 110?
thanks

RE: Grand Isle SP, LA
Guess we'll just give it a shot, as we have reservations. Will try to post back on the insect infestation and/or the hopefully, lack there of. Have our Autan insect repellent, which has worked very well in the UP last fall.
Wish us luck.

Grand Isle SP, LA
Heading to Grand Isle SP and plan to be there 5 or so days around May 1 of this year.
What are the bugs like there that time of year. Do I need to pack my full body netting. Are no-see-ums gonna carry me away? Maybe swamp mosquitoes feed then? I have no idea. Maybe I should just bring adequate amounts of adult beverages and not worry about it.
Your thoughts?

RE: What do you use for local travel once camped up?
We are two asthmatics with bad knees and just bought Pedigo e-bikes. Love then for getting around the campground and local store. Not the cheapest around, but very reliable & made by a reputable company with great customer service.

RE: Is a toad necessary with a small motor home?
There are 2 basic groups of RVers in our opinion. Destinationers and Tourers. Destionationers, drive to a park and plop for the duration. Tourers, may have a particular destination in mind, but generally take longer to get there than the time spent there. We are in the later group. We do not have a toad with our 26' Class C. We do however have e-bikes. We rarely are in any one park more than 3 nights and generally use the e-bikes to tour the park and riding enjoyment. Our sight seeing is mostly between stops.
If we were destinationers, a toad would be of value. If we stay at an area such as Destin, FL or such for any time, we do rent a car though.

RE: New post on bike carriers
If you use it on your RV, be sure it is RV rated. And more often than not with carriers you get what you pay for. Best off not to chince on these. MHO

RE: Dollar General grocery?
A couple of years ago we ran across a DG store with a green sign, not the typical yellow. Not sure, but believe it was called Dollar General Grocery. They were in the North Carolina/Virginia-ish area. Sure can't remember, but have ever since been searching/waiting for them to work their way west, if they're still viable.

RE: surge protector and water filters
I'd say go with the Progressive unit. Not cheap but definitely worth. Had ours on 3 or 4 trips & it would give error codes. Called the company. They asked for pics and the error code number. Then they told me to cut off the plug & trash the entire unit, a replacement was on the way. Got the replacement the next week. Gott love a company that stands behind their product.
Water filter: We use the Camco inline blue filter for every tank fill. Get a new filter every year and haven't a problem.

Roadside Assistance provider
Who does Good Sam use for their Roadside Assistance? I assume they contract it out to SafeRide or such.

Gulpha Gorge Campground, AR
Would like to stop at Gulpha Gorge on our way home from Grand Isle SP, LA and wondering what the odds of getting a site for a Friday & Saturday first full week of May. They do not take reservations and we really liked the park when we were there several years ago. Or do you think our odds would be better if we tried for Sat & Sun. Just can't get there before Friday.
Any thoughts or predictions? Or also plan for an alternative, just in case? And that would be where?
