Thanks.  We ended up finding a place that was able to get it for us.  However, the new part was not the same as the old part.  Even though the part number was the same.  I got it back to the trailer and got the new arms installed and even after extending them so that there was very little thread...

I'm sure this is in the wrong spot but I'm in a bit of a bind and don't really have the time to search the whole site...  Pulling into the campground in Willard, UT tonight, on of my cam sway control bars broke.  It's the thing the bar rests on and it's gold.  Our rig has low ground clearance...

We've been on the road for about 3 months now with 2 pretty good sized Belgian Sheepdogs.  We've made zero plans and had exactly 2 instances where we called ahead to find there wasn't space for us though not related to the dogs...just no space.  Nobody anywhere has said anything about the dogs. ...

Watch any multi axle vehicle make a tight turn.  You'll see that the outside rear tire will experience a lot of lateral drag.  I apparently favor left hand turns because I can see the trailer and the tires show it.  I wouldn't have given much thought to the rotation thing if it weren't for the...

Came through last week from the north in a truck pulling a 31 foot travel trailer.  Kinda longish.  We went south and through the Tetons after staying at Yellowstone's Edge RV park.  Nice place.  We didn't camp in Yellowstone but stayed in the Tetons one night.  Meh.  The RV park was nice...

Disregard.  Found the manual then did some experimenting.  Used the frame between the axles where the truck jack fit perfectly.  Took us 10 minutes.  Bought me thousands and thousands of miles of peace of mind.  :)

Greetings to all.  We're about 5K miles into our adventure.  We are currently in an awesome little Forest Service campground in Stanley, ID where we've been for a while and will remain for a couple days because it's incredible here.  Many tight left hand turns have taken their toll my right rear...

Belgian Sheepdogs.  Pretty rare still and we've only met a couple people in 10 years that have known what they are.  They don't look so cool now with their summer cuts. 

And your station in life.  Frankly, I think my dogs add way more enjoyment to the lives of the people that get to experience them than do a bunch of screaming trolls flying through the campground on their bicycles.  :)  But if you're the parent (or grandparent) of those darling little monsters...

Its sad that these conditions exist but its not terribly different that parenting people.  They'll get away with what they can and their nature will take over.  That applies to kids and dogs.  I've seen some horrible little monster children that I can't believe were allowed to become what they...

Neighbors have a great white pyranese and it barely fits in the house.  I can't imagine anything that size in an RV.  He wouldn't be able to turn around in ours.  ::)

And available to view using Bird's Eye view on Bing Maps.  :) What time of year?  Was it busy?  Weekend or weekday?  Thanks for the feedback.

I totally agree about avoiding Detroit.  The route 2 to 23 is my choice as well. I'm liking the look of Muamee Bay State Park in Oregon, OH, then Wilderness State Park in Carp Lake, MI, then Black River Harbor in Ottawa NF, then onto Voyageurs NP.  Any input regarding any of these places is...

I think everything in our world comes from Amazon.  :)  Like our new Droids for 20 bucks a piece.  Amazon rocks.

Most of the Jaycos I've seen have the entertainment system where the cabover bunk would be.  Might level the playing field a little.  Gonna tow anything?
