  1. You’ll need to salute each time you exit! 🤣
  2. We’ve heard both are great places to camp. You need to make reservations early, we were never able to get in even checking availability weeks in advance. Goblin State Park is another popular park, we tried there, too and it was full.
  3. Seems like it would be easiest to just turn the PD charger off. Mine is off most of the time, solar charging has been enough in most cases.
  4. Looks nice! I did something similar back in 2018, not as refined as what you did but it did the trick. Haven’t used it in a while, though. Twin Bed Conversion Mike
  5. We have stayed at Dead Horse SP a number of times and agree that it provides good access to all the local sites to see. Sedona is an easy drive. We camped on Zion for a week. If you are there over a weekend I recommend you stay on the park. Traffic getting into the park on the weekend was ridiculous, backed up for miles. We were there in Janyary and in the off season you can drive anywhere on the park that is open. During the high season you have to take a bus to most sites. Not sure what off season dates are. There’s a nice USFS campground near Bryce, Red Canyon campground. No reservations. We arrived around noon and had a choice of campsites, all pretty nice. No hookups but a very well maintained campground with great views. There’s a nice BLM campground in between Canyonlands and Arches, Horsethief CG. It’s closer to Canyonlands but easy access to Moab and Arches too. Good luck! Mike
  6. Good luck! Hope to hear from you on your return….
  7. When we pulled the wires from the axle there were wear spots in the middle of the wires too in several places. Mine are now zip tied to the outside of the axle. I had service check when they replaced my brakes in May and they left the wires on the outside. Mike
  8. We spent last week at Ridgway State Park, just 20 minutes north of Ouray. We drove up from our son’s house in Durango but didn’t take 550 this time. We took the western route which is about 40 minutes longer but provides with some different scenery. It takes you by Telluride. It was a nice drive. This is just a few miles outside of Telluride on the way to Ridgway. Another stop on the way up to Ridgway. Our site at Ridgway State Park We did a walk around the town of Ridgway. This is the town park in the middle of town. Downtown Ouray. Downtown Ouray. Hiking around the Ridgway Reservoir. Nice hike, good views. More hiking.
  9. Looks great! Fun to watch owners making their trailer unique! Mike
  10. Our coupler was black when new. I touch it up annually with Black Rustoleum. Mike
  11. I think most of us got the recall notice. Just need to look at the top of your hitch and make sure it says 7000 lbs, not 5000. Here’s what mine looks like, the red thing is a lock.
  12. We’ve spent time here, our son went to New Mexico Military Institute here for a year before going to West Point. Ruidoso is also a favorite camping spot!
  13. That’s the goal! Looking forward to the nighttime temps…. Mike
  14. We’re on our way to Colorado to escape the south Texas heat. Overnighting in Roswell, NM which does not get us out of the heat! It was 106 when we pulled in to our campground. No sitting outside, we’re enjoying 70s inside with our loud Dometic AC. We’re at the Red Barn RV Park, very small but clean and convenient. We’ve stayed here at least a dozen times on our way to/from Colorado. Yes, that’s a Red Barn. It’s the office, rec room, rest rooms. She keeps a cooler there with bagged ice, food, ice cream and drinks. Farm field behind us, there’s only about 12 sites total and several are long term folks.
