RE: Forest Service 50% off for Old Folks May Be Abolished
It WILL go away easily UNLESS you - all of us- take the time to comment back to the USFS AND copy to your congressional folks! Sit back and let it ride and you will lose! DO IT NOW!

RE: Gov't to reduce Golden Access Discount to 10%
Hi,
Like the discount that is given to a few hundred Golden Access users a month will solve the trillion dollar National Dept?
I know budgets are a bit tight, but why not try to find savings other places, like the billions given to Wall Street, not the $8 a night being asked as a discount by the Golden Access card holders.
Fred.
You just do not understand this - the increased revenue will go to the PRIVATE concessonaires - not the US Treasury!

RE: Worst/most dangerous design flaw is _______
On our cruiser - the propane tanks are at the front passenger side. Stove, furnace, water heater and refrig. are in a slide on the same side about midway back. The propane to these are fed through a black iron gas line to flex tubes to each appliance. Never gave this a second thought until the day last summer when the shackle straps from equalizer to the rear spring broke. At the shop getting those replaced the tech pointed out that the propane line was attached to the BOTTOM of the frame! When the straps broke of course the rig dropped and the spring eye rubbed on that iron pipe! Fortunately I had noticed the problem before I had driven very far - otherwise I would have had a good sized hole in the propane line instead of just the bruise (about half way through!). NOw in the process of moving that line to the top of the lower flange of the frame!!

RE: Snowbird Celebrations
Virtually every State and/or Province represented in our park in Mesa (the largest in AZ) has n annual potluck and some even have a weekly coffee. Just FYI our current Park directory shows over 270 units occupied by Canadians! Assuming each unit has at leasat 2 people - thats close tol 600 Canadians. That includes folks from 8 of the 10 provinces. There also is an annual All-Canada picnic/potroast held in Feb. in Phoenix.
The short answer to the OP's question is yes - many every year here.

RE: TV COAX
I'm with Craig. First step - make sure the power boost to the Rv antenna is turned OFF - nolittle light). Since you have cable from the Park this is mostlikely your problem.

RE: Going to the Sun when does it usually close for the winter?
Why would you want to do that? It's several hours of white knuckle driving; especially going northeast.
Not a white -knuckler in any way, shape or form - as long as you are used to mountain driving. The Honda CRV will be very comfortable doing that drive! Just know that ypou cannot take your rig over the "Going to the Sun". Any one that gets to Glacier should experince that beautiful drive!

RE: West from Colrado Springs
I also recommend the Leadville route suggested by Skipnchar. Very scenic. One caution - at Leadville stay on 24 and not 91 which pushes you over Fremont Pass and down to Copper Mountain where you will still have to go up and over vail Pass.

RE: Conect the water hose ends or not? Which is Best?
Drain - while coiling and then connect. Since I always coil my hose/hoses before storing in the laundry basket this does NOT take extra time - just coil somewhat slowy. Then connect the ends to keep anything/everything out!
Where did you see comments on the negative for connecting?

RE: KS tpk;Hwy 54; AZ Bush Hwy-Usery Pass Rd.
For the ending part of your route - turning south at Holbrook and 377/260 to Payson and then 87 to the Bush interchange to Usery Pass road is the route we always use when returning to Mesa every fall.

RE: CO-Glenwood Springs to Colorado Springs bypassing Denver
From Glenwood come east to Copper Mountain and turn south on 91 to Leadville, then 24 all the way into Colo. Springs. This is probably the easiest route. Fremont Pass to Leadville is an easy on.
Others will suggest taking 24 from Minturn junction ( just east of Vail) thru' Leadville etc. to Colorado Springs. This route takes you over Tennessee Pass - somewhat tougher than Fremont.

RE: glacier national park
If you go thru' Browning be sure to visit the Museum! One of the best.
Also - for Lewis & Clark fans - a few miles east of browning on #2 there is a monument marking the furthest north the Expedition got - also the site of the only serious confrontation Lewis had with Native Americans. The monument ( a tall obelisk is a couple of hundred yards north of the highway.

I sure hope they had their propane tanks turned off since there appears to be total separation of the cans from their mount!

RE: Attwood water heater remote switch light not coming on
I have the same problem on my Crossroads Cruiser 5th wheel. The red indicator light no longer comes on when I turn the hot water tank to either gas or electric. My hot water tank does work fine however. After some troubleshooting I determined the circuit board sends the signal to the red light. Something has died on the board apparently. Since the hot water tank continues to work I just ignore the dead light problem.
IF your water heater lights OK with propane you will NEVER see the red light. That light is to indicate a failure to light when on propane. The Light (at least on my current Crossroads and previous fivers) only will come on after the DSI system tries to ligt the gass after 3 tries.

RE: Current Opinions on Direct & Dish?
We have Dish Network and pay for local (Denver) channels. We just take a reciebver from home and have a second dish on a tripod that stays in the RV. We don't have a lot of trouble finding the 'birds' wherever we have been - and get our Denver network channels everywhere!
Do you lose the Denver channels when you get over 100 miles from home? How much extra do the local channels cost? Wanted to go with Direct but they don't offer locals once you get over a certain distance from home.
Brian
Currently in AZ and watch Denver news every night! Same with OR coast this past summer. The 100 mile limit is just a myth. Now I admit that some of the Denver stations - PBS, local non-network stations are on 'spot' and not available. Right now watching 2 different hockey games , one on Versus (never carried on Direct)-Dallas and St. Louis and Denver-Nashville on Altitude (basically a Denver local).

RE: Worst case scenario...a cautionary tale
16 years old?? That make it 1993 - one of the years that a lot of Iowa was flooded by Old Miss.! I know - I bought a used fover in 1997 from a dealer in AZ. The title said it was origianally owned by an Iowan. I had similar problems and checking with the original owner he admitted that the fiver had been in the flood waters. Dealer said - sorry we did not know about that!! No recourse for us!
This probably doesn't help you with ypour problems but justa a caution for others buying used trailers - check with previous owners!! As far as I know there is no requirement that sellers must disclose problems.
