We have and use 2 large drying mats at home and really like them. On our current trip we found the perfect size for our counter extension. It was $8.00 at a local backpacking store. My wife modified it by sewing 2 small pieces of Velcro so that it doesn't blow off the screened side of the door handle when drying or fall off while in transit. It's not as thick as our mats at home, but is perfect for camping. Like ours at home it is washable. Here are a few shots as well as a screenshot of a...

Always remove the negative ground first and reconnect it last and you won't have that issue! Thanks for the tip that, after 66 years, I had just neglected to remember. I suppose everyone screws up but taking off rings, watches & using an insulated wrench is still a good idea when working around that much juice.

Had a nice, relaxing trip up to Collins Lake this weekend. The lake level was down and the weather was cool but the DW limited out on trout (as usual)! Met up with Loanshark and friends (really nice folks). Compared notes on our Lance trailers and overall had a very relaxing weekend. Truly wish we could make it to the Northern CA LAO rally in January but, due to prior commitments, we won't be able to. Did see one other Lance TC at Collins and a couple on the road on the way home.

And that we did. RITV will be our first trying out of the new and improved, higher thread count sheets for the Bedmaid.

Ann - I believe that this calendar thread confuses everyone. If you get a moment maybe you could copy-n-paste your post above into a post in the main rally thread? I have been updating the first post in the main rally thread (as opposed to this calendar thread): https://community.lanceowners.org/top...y-1-17-14-to-1-19-14

Hi Allen/Allenc, Welcome to LOA and glad to hear that you are going to join us! This rally will be a great place for you to gain some good knowledge about your new 2285. Let me know how many nights you will be staying. For now I will put down 2 nights until you confirm. This thread that you have posted in is the calendar thread which is fine, but it also is sort of a goofy thread that doesn't show up in "Recent" posts or discussions on the main LOA forum page so posts can get lost or missed...

i missed the online booking window...late as usual! i'll probably come up thursday and leave saturday. i'd hate to arrive friday on a holiday weekend and find all the good "first come, first serve" site taken. if there is a way i can hold sites for other "first come, first serve" campers, i'd be happy to do that. i have no problem paying in advance for anyone here. unfortunately, i require a complex diet due to kidney failure, so i'll be out for the group meals. i will however bring plenty...

Sounds good John! Looking forward to meeting Clare as well. I'm not sure, but I think WoodGlue (4 nights) might be arriving on Thursday as well. That or a Tuesday departure. I have added your info. to the first post in the main rally thread. Thanks for the s'mores as well as the offer to reserve sites for the other non-reserved attendees! I will also cut-n-paste your post to the main rally thread which is here: https://community.lanceowners.org/top...y-1-17-14-to-1-19-14 *This is the "rally...

We've been using the Good Sam GPS for over a month now. Haven't used it yet for an RV trip (not before April of this year), but we did take it with us to Atlanta, GA over Christmas. So far, we're very pleased with it. We've been configuring it for the points of interest (gas stations, restaurants, etc.) we want it to display while we're on the road. We've used the wi-fi feature to connect through my cell phone and get real-time weather reports and forecasts, which is nice. We've also used...

Hi Engunir, The rally will probably only have Lance owners and anyone else who is interested in Lance are always welcome to stop by or camp with us! We don't have any vendors scheduled, but they're always welcome. Our knowledge base is pretty experienced, so if you or any attendees have any questions we are always there to answer any questions. To date, we have a whale watching trip planned and then there are always wine tasting trips, potluck dinners and such. We also plan on driving at...
