Wonderful find! Thank you for sharing - I especially like these sort of blogs. If you know of more, please let me know as I follow a bunch in my RSS reader. Ray P.S. And thank you to the management for allowing these sort of links. Much appreciated.

I haul a 13' Scamp and average around 60mph. 65 is my max. I used to go 70-75mph with tires rated for 85mph but after having a blowout which tore part of the fiberglass around the tire well I learned my lesson. I much prefer going at a leisurely pace on the backroads. It's less stressful, far...

I try to resist as much as I can but unfortunately it can be terribly useful when it comes to mapping and finding campsites as well as local grocery stores, etc. etc. Every now and then I get the itch to switch to paper maps like Benchmark and let the sense of adventure reign supreme... Ray

In my case the vast majority of places were able to fill my tank without needing to remove it from the trailer. All would top the tanks off. BTW, I ended up buying a smaller 5lb propane tank as my backup tank for whenever my regular 20lb one ran out. At 5lbs it's easy to store and hook up in a...
