  1. Get the latest edition of the Milepost. It will come in handy on the road. Good to have something that doesn't require internet. We stayed in RV Parks mostly. But lots of folks boondock and there are place to pull off at the side of the road that allow it. There are also at least two facebook groups that we joined. They are useful for the latest updates. In addition BC, AB and the Yukon have websites dedicated to latest road conditions. (When you have service.)
  2. Sherril you will need to bookmark their web site. https://parks.canada.ca/voyage-travel/reserve Keep checking they will post on that site when the reservation system opens. Good luck and that is beautiful area to camp. Jasper is a little less busy than Banff.
  3. Traveling from New Mexico to Amarillo in the wild west Texas wind. It was blowing 30 mph with gusts to 60! Since it was a tail wind I was getting the best gas mileage ever. We pulled over into a parking area off the I40 for a pit stop. As my wife was exiting the trailer a gust hit, jerked the door from her hand and slammed against the rubber stopper. The good news was no damage to the exterior fiberglass or frame. The bad news was the pressure against the door was strong enough to crack the interior panel. The same result is we need a new door. In the meantime I found some white duck tape to cover the cracks. I know I am not the first to have an issue with the door in a windstorm. So a reminder to be careful out there. Now a question. Anyone who has had to overnight at the mothership while they work on their trailer, have recommendations for a place to stay that will allow a dog? Thanks
  4. I have a Coleman Roadtrip. The regulator comes off so I can use it with the quick connect or direct to a tank. Accessories include a griddle top and a frame to convert it to a regular cooktop pans.
  5. Thanks exactly what I needed to know. Planned trip to hardware this AM to get an allen wrench and keep it in my trailer tool box. I have spare washers. Fixed. But two trips to the hardware store. First was the 1/2 hex to add to my socket set. No 1/2 inch allen but they had one for a socket wrench. The second trip was for a O ring. When I pulled the fitting off, the seal was a O ring not a washer. I now have a spare. Thanks for all the input.
  6. Ok my set of allen wrenches doesn't go to a 1/2 inch. Trio to the hardware store. But manvered my phone behind the fitting to get a picture of where the leak is. Not a great picture once I enlarge it. But if you can see the black rubber protruding behind the fitting. That is where the leak is.
  7. Outside the trailer where the hose screws in. The best I can describe is where the connector spins around to screw on the hose meets the solid post. The protubing rubber must be part of the seal for the rotating female connector to the hose. It is a slow stream at this point. At first it was fast drip but got worse. I do have a 1/2 inch Allen wrench and spare hose washers. Thanks
  8. City water intake has developed a leak. Fortunately outside the trailer but large enough to make me not popular with any campground. When I feel around where the water is coming out, there is a small bit of rubber sticking out. Anyone replaced one of these? Doesn't seem to have any access from the basement. Are these standard parts I could get at any RV part store? I could not find one online that matched I have not reached out to Oliver Service yet. But I am in Alaska and a long way from home for them to ship. Appreciate any advice before I pull out my screw driver.
  9. Yes I was on line looking for some kind of bolt on locking plate. Got the bracket. Just not as trusting of a cable lock but will invest in a good one.
  10. Speaking of generators and the front storage box, ideas for security. Ideas for locking down a Honda 2000 or 2200?
  11. Yes I was confused as well at first. I was being shown available campsites. But when I tried to reserve one I got an error message to the effect about it being the wrong year.
  12. Campground Reservations FYI for anyone planning to head to Canada. Canada National Parks is updating their reservation system. If you have ever had an account with them you will need to set up a new account starting March 3rd. The good news is for this year it is not too late to make reservations. The system is doing a staggered roll out. Reservations for this year open at different times based upon Provence and Park. For example Jasper National Park opens March 16th and Banff National Park March 23rd. Leave it to the Canadians to do it in a civilized fashion. Instead of midnight, the reservations open at 8 AM in the time zone of the park.
  13. No installed solar so no adapter needed. Attaches directly to batteries with alligator clips. Have tested both generator and panels. Norcold 3 way fridge, so runs on LP. Yes, batteries charge while driving. In a real pinch can charge via truck. Done that in the pass to get boast.
  14. 100 Watt Renogy with controller two 12 volt AGM I have a Honda 2000 W I may take.
