  1. I did the same upgrade to the tank on my 2017.  The biggest benefit we've experienced is that we're able to stop for fuel where we decide.  So we're not forced to stop in California where fuel could go to over $4/gallon and make it to Texas where fuel can run <$2/gallon at some places.  Our bladders dictate rest stops, the price of fuel dictates fuels stops...

  2. Hi there Mary, I've lived in CC for many years and the spring break time frame is certainly busy but not unbearable most years.  If you stay south of Port Aransas you will miss the majority of it, as the spring breakers tend to stay up towards Port A.  camping on the beach if that's your thing will be quiet on Padre Island National Seashore (PINS in local vernacular).  It is really a beautiful time of the year 99% of the time.  The spring break timeframe is the first to the third week of March, with the first two weeks being the busiest. 

     

    Hope this helps.

  3. Had a great trip at the end of 2018 through Arkansas, Missouri, Tennessee, New York (Niagara Falls, Lake Erie), Acadia National Park, Boston, Arizona (Grand Canyon and Chiricahua National Monument). Spent 14 days boon docking in the red rocks region behind Sedona AZ that was a lot of fun. Thought I'd share these shots of the Ollie in the wild. We had a blast and plan to do Utah, AZ (again), Quartzite, Tennessee and Alabama (rally time :)) starting in January at quartzite. If anyone plans on being there during the RV show please let me know would love to meet you there. yn

  4. John,

     

    Not trying to hijack this thread, but I think might be somewhat related to the topic as it is axle related. You'd started or participated in a thread about wanting to convert your axles from over the spring to under the spring. I'm wondering if you've looked any further into that and if so what did you learn? I'm interested in both these upgrades (raising the axle and the disk brake electric over hydraulic upgrade) but you're doing far more research into the topic than I have the time or skillset for so I'm awaiting what you figure out before pulling the trigger.

     

    Thanks,

  5. John,

     

    This is great information and I'm interested in everything on the list you showed.  I'm not really a fisherman (although I do try sometimes), we do love exploring and it sounds like many of our interest intersect with yours.  If you have more information that you'd like to post, I'm working on a map in Google maps where I'm trying to capture all the various locations people have talked about in one easy (yet crowded) map.  If you'd like to see what I've got so far I'm happy to share it with you, I'd need your normal email so I can enter it in the share.  Just let me know,

     

    Thanks,

     

    John
