    Some photos from this past summer

    Thank you so much for your invitation to go down to Colorado to camp with you. It won't be this summer as we are going to camp,at a provincial park near Thunder Bay. Really looking forward to getting out there on May 15th. I already bought a cord of birch firewood and have it drying out. Lol...

    Pretty sure this this is the rug that we have. Stands up excellent - 3 years old with 12 months of steady usage and still shakes off looking pretty much like new. Amazing product

    Chucking problems while towing

    the first thing that popped into my mind was pin weight, but I certainly would reassess all your axle weights against your vehicle and trailer specs.

    What item can you not camp without?

    Re: What item can you not camp without? . . . Actually . . . electricity! Yes, we purchased the Honda EU3000si generator and that powers everything in our trailer including the A/C 13,500 BTU). Used it lots and no problems at all yet.

    Awning screens

    We purchased one of the slide-in awning screens for extra shelter room from the rain and UV protection while sitting around the picnic table. It does repel the rain good, but a little rain does get through. For extra privacy it is great and for sun protection it is good too. When I put my awning...

    Some photos from this past summer

    We don't have a pop-out on our Trail Runner and after several months of living in our trailer, we can definitely appreciate the advantage. But we are both retired and with our budget that was the best we could do. What we really love though is being on the road seeing so many things, friends and...

    Heartland looses a great asset...

    Yes, CHANGE is exciting and cathartic for a business which will see good things ahead for Heartland and Jayco. The customer wins on both fronts as stagnation gets us nowhere.

    Plastic one-way water valves behind commodes

    Thank you for the information. I will pick up some spare "shark bite" adapters at the hardware store today, just in case something like this happens again. You never think you'll use the stuff, then the day comes and one just might have the right spare part. Happy trails it's my friend :-)

    Plastic one-way water valves behind commodes

    The plastic valve behind our commode broke off yesterday. I had to disassemble the broken valve from the "PEX" pipes and install a new brass one-way valve. I found out I needed a "tough built" bolt cutter to break off the existing PEX clamps and a special PEX clamp pliers to squeeze on the new...

    Mattresses? Where, what

    Yes, we too purchased the memory foam. It is a few bucks no doubt, but an excellent investment in good sleep. We just love our mattress.

    Front cap damage

    With our insurance, the first claim is a freebie and does not effect our insurance. The second claim it does effect your rates. The third claim, they will pay, but drop you as a client. So if at all possible, I repair everything myself. Last year, my son put a dent in our Prius's back plastic...

    After Urbana

    Now ow that was a funny story to brighten the evening. Boy what a shocker for the guy to see his door down! A few camps back, I forgot to put my antennae down but a fellow camper stopped me before I got out if the camping area and warned me about our trailer antennae still up. We are camped...

    safety rear view camera

    I put a rear view camera in my truck right at the license plate. It just comes on when I put it in reverse. It is fantastic for hook ups as I am now bang on and never need a second person. It is wireless and runs like a charm. I always use it just for regular back ups too just to be sure I am...
