Okay, now you people are confusing me (maybe even scaring me).... :( I am driving my new purchase, a 1996 Vectra (34'), home alone from Mesa AZ to Vancouver Island BC. I pick it up Tuesday morning. I plotted the most direct route but one that goes through Salt Lake as I have a friend there...

Just wanted to add a couple of comments as I am an English-speaking Canadian who lived in Province Quebec for more than two years, while attending McGill, and studied French for over 13 years, even minoring in it in university, years ago. Many of you have commented on Francophones being rude...

A posted sign makes sense to me Marsha... jan

I know most of you have more experience than I but perhaps my inexperience affords me a little more anxiety and that that in turn sparks my additional vigilance. To my mind, animals left in an RV have a much greater risk from any sort of fire mishap than those left unattended in a house. Because...

I am sure this is covered elsewhere but could not find it in the library or on a search. I am still figuring out how to navigate this huge and informative site!! When I booked my first few days in the USA for next week (for when I go down and bring home my used motorhome from an Arizona...

Ok, thanks again everyone. I am actually relieved about the gun recommendations. I am afraid of them and have only ever held one once. I am not into 'roughing it' so am likely to be in safe parks. LOL, I was so excited when I last posted that I mixed stuff up. The unit I bought (and will pick...

Thanks all so much for your replies....I seem, unexpectedly, to be the proud new purchaser of a 34' unit off ebay today...LOL. I have made arrangements to meet some friends to assist me in transporting the unit home for changes and for appropriate taxes... that will apply in this country.The...

LOL, have to admit that for many years I have done all the jobs...never understanding there were blue and pink ones, just jobs that needed doing! In particular I have always been the person responsible for parking the unit in its site.... Not to leap into 'bad' territory' already, but is it...

Hi there...so nice to have found these forums as I expect to have lots of questions over the next 6 months or so and then in an ongoing way once I am on the road. I am not new to trailer travel as my husband and I towed a smallish unit in the late 1990's and since then have spent free time in a...
