RE: Good Sam or KOA
I may be wrong but I've found that at a particular location you may find one KOA but several parks that are affiliated with Good Sam, giving you more choice.
That being said the KOA I've used are always good quality, but the Good Sam ones are of mixed quality because of the larger number.
I would say for the price of them join both, it doesn't take long to break even.

RE: Levelling blocks for camper on driveway with 2 degree grade
If you don't want to use the jacks to level it up (which to me would be the preferred way), and assuming the grade is accurately measured at 2% and assuming the front and back jacks are 10 feet apart, then you could level it up using packing blocks 2.5 inches thick. 2.5 inches would be close enough.
I think it’s time for folks to stop sharing their “wisdom” here. Packing blocks? Huh?
Not sure why but sooo many posts on here, I just picture the words coming out of my mother in laws mouth. She knows everything….just ask her!
What on earth are you even alluding to here? “If you don’t want to use the jacks to level it up.”
Mkirsch was right. Stop overthinking this. But to be fair he should have addressed the REST of the peanut gallery. Not the OP. (Although the OP definitely needs some guidance with basic stuff.)
If you can't figure out what a "packing block" is I'd be happy to send you a picture of a piece of wood cut to the correct height lol

RE: Alaska - 2023
Gas Buddy can be of help for fuel costs.
You need to calculate liters to US gallons and then converter Canadian dollars to US dollars.
Current price on Vancouver Island is C$2.07 per liter.
There are 3.8 liters in a US gallon. therefor price is 2.07 x 3.8 = C$7.86 per US gallon.
Current exchange rate is approx. C$1.29 for 1 US$
Therefor cost per US gallon is Approx. US$6.09
Hope this helps.

RE: Occasional Winter Camping??
I try not to winter camp unless I have an electric hook up. I don't like the noise or the sudden bursts of heat from the propane heater.
In the fall and winter I have a small oil-filled radiator which I keep switched on. This keeps the place very cozy.

RE: 2006 Bigfoot 25C9.4LB Camper Wet Weight Label - Even Close?
The only sure way is to take it over the weigh scales. You will probably be surprised

RE: Alaska Bound
Why all the concern about having internet? Think back a few years ago when we traveled before the internet was available, now it seems people freak out if they go a day or two without it.
My feeling is, if you have internet once a week or so to keep in touch that should be enough. Enjoy the trip and relax.

RE: BC ferries work for the smaller routes.
I'm not sure about leaving on a different route tp what you came on but it seems reasonable that you cannot save money by using a cheaper fare to a mid-point then continuing to the mainland for free. However I have not checked the website to try to figure it out.

RE: BC ferries work for the smaller routes.
I live on the Island and have used the ferries many times. There is no problem taking a truck camper on them, I have done this for years, and also a 28 foot 5th wheel.
The schedules are posted on line and in the local papers, and they generally keep rigidly to the times. The crossing to the Island takes about an hour 40 minutes, to the smaller Islands takes less.
The ferries can be very busy in the summer. You can make reservations which costs extra, if you dont be prepared to wait a
occasionally.

RE: Is it common to remove your truck camper at your camp spot?
If I am staying in the same spot for a week or more, which is unusual, I will take it off, otherwise I leave it on

RE: 2021 Northern Lite 10-2 Le wet bath
I don't have a Northern Lite, but I never need to stabilize it. There is a little bit of movement but not enough to concern us.
