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...

I am 5'1" and can put it up by myself. To make it easier I use a small stool to reach and pop the top, but by that time the rest is stable. It is a little long, I think to put it in the back seat would have to be on an angle. My brother-in-law straps his to the ladder.

A big thank you to diamonds in another thread for mentioning that they store their screen room inside their 1575 during travel. I placed our rugs non-skid side down on the linoleum and facing up for the screen room to rest on. There is no way it is going to budge while in transit. Also, I have it centered over the axle and on the "lighter" side of the TT (slide-out & fridge are on the other side) -

A final wrap-up - Towed up and over Donner Pass (7,000+') today with the rig completely loaded (including our 5th wheel chest full of 3 cases of H2O, half a case of ale, generator, gas, etc.... Rock solid! For our truck and TT lower StableLoads are perfect! Here are a few shots taken at the Gold Run rest area near Colfax, CA on I-80 (The Love's semi dwarfs our rig, ha) -

In an earlier post, I included the Traeger Camp Grill in a list of what to pack when headed out. I received an inquiry about it and thought it might be a good product to add to the Product Reviews page. Product: Traeger Portable Tabletop Grill (TPG+Grill) http://www.traegergrills.com/s...es/ptg/TFT17LLA.html I have used this grill exclusively since I bought my first Traeger at Costco last spring. This is a Pellet Grill that will do everything asked of it. I loved my full size so much, I...

Hi Laura, Sorry I missed this. Been busy with fires in our area. Evacuated with the trailer one night - dry camped in my sister-in-law's driveway & the battery was still at 96% in the morning with a lot of furnace & water pump use. Been on high alert ever since ready to roll. Driving back home brought the battery back to 100% & it is now plugged in to the house remaining fully charged. Just taking a rare rest this week and got on LOA. This will be short, but ask away for expanded...

Jim, thanks for your reply. I'm sorry to hear about your evacuation situation, but it sounds like things are working out ok for you. My brother was on evacuation Alert for the McCourtney fire and Lobo Fire near Grass Valley, but those passed him by. Two years ago a fire came to about a 1/2 from his house. The West is a mess this year. You're installation of the Victron was just what I was looking for. Your 1575 tips are fantastic for the rest of us 1575 owners.

Very cool Joe.. look forward to meeting you and the rest of the folks making the trip. The weather is typically very nice in early June. C U there, can’t wait, it’s always our nicest trip of the year!!! Rob

We've hemmed and hawed for 7 years or so on getting a kayak. Hard shell? Sit-on-top? Inflatable? Transporting? Solo or tandem? ?? We've rented at least 20 kayaks over the years and still couldn't make up our minds. In fact GRUMPA, BMJ, myself, and a few others have gone around and around about the subject here on LOA for 4 or 5 years. GRUMPA & BMJ both bought inflatables - Sea Eagle's (sweet kayaks!) - while we kept languishing over the choices and our needs. Well, we finally decided to...

David sounds like you have it all. The rest is improving on what Kaypee and I have done so we can copy LOL. My main goal was to make it easy to use and service and keep any handles out ot the shower curtain area. Greg

I just wanted to say something about a product made by one of our own members, Robert Peek @Eileen and Robert Peek. Many of you may have picked up a sample pack of Peek Polish at a rally. I'm not sure how many of us have really tried it. I finally did this week, and the results were amazing. A little background: My 2011 trailer was stored for 2 years at a facility under the flight path of John Wayne airport. It was covered pretty well with jet fuel residue. It was also parked between two old...
