Cost of RVing
"Across the country, campground prices generally start at around $20 a night and rarely exceed $75. The average RV spot, with power and water hookups, will run about $30, according to J.D. Power. Any way you slice it, that’s a significant savings over the typical vacation." From a news article by Camping World.

Not sure where she is finding those rates starting a $20 and averaging $30.

RE: propane tank storage in truck bed
Thanks all. Milkcrate it is. Had someone try to steal the Honda 2000 out of my truck one night in a campground near Mt Hood, but it didn't change my camping.

propane tank storage in truck bed
I see a need to do most of my grilling on my Weber Q1200 in the national forest this summer. I would like to take my 20# tank instead of the little $$$ one pound tanks that are hard to install. My old fiver has limited storage so the tank would have to ride in the truck bed. Any good solutions to securing a 20# tank from moving about on the road and from walking away when parked for shopping? I'm thinking a milk crate would stabilize it and a lock cable.

IH-5 through Seattle options?
I will be travelling through Olympia in route to Anacortes area about mid-day on a July Saturday. My last time through a few years ago I used IH-405 mid day Sunday, expecting light traffic, and it was white knuckles all the way. Pulling a fiver. Any preferred route from a local? Thanks, bill

RE: Hwy 12 in Utah between Torrey and Bryce -- amazing!
SingleTree NFS CG about 12 miles south of Torrey is a nice overnight on 12. Several years ago the brakes on my trailer picked that strip of road to short out on the southbound run. Yikes. Finally found the short inside the axle tube after much searching.

Reef RV in Rocky Point status
Some family members are planning to visit in late Jan. I haven't stayed at the Reef in several years. They were working on the cruise ship jetty then so a bit of noise there. Is it still a quiet place before the spring break crowd? In descent shape? Some of the electrical was sketchy then unles in the front row. Any big hassles crossing at Lukeville? Thanks.

RE: tranny temp got to 250!! yikes,, troubling questions
I have a 2001 F-250 7.3 and I had to watch my tranny temps all of the time until I put the Ford V-10 tranny cooler on it. Now I never see 200 degrees. It is 40 percent bigger than the oem and comes standard with Ford tranny replacements. It should have been oem to start with since the 7.3 puts a bigger load on the tranny. Since it is an OEM for the V-10 it fits right on the bracket with no modifications.
Your Woods tranny may already have the larger cooler.
Good luck.
