RE: Yellowstone roads closed!
We are in the Headwaters campground just outside the south entrance right now, been here almost a week. It sounds like they expect the northern section of the Park to be closed for the entire season, and the southern portions at least the rest of this week. It sounds like they're waiting for the possibility of more rain this weekend. They are still assessing the damage.
YouTube channel Park Junkie works in the Park and is posting new videos inside the park.
JK
PS... They will also go to a timed entry system to handle many tourists visiting the smaller park area.

RE: Anyone Cancelling Truck Camper Trips Due to Fuel Prices?
Not a T/C,but towing a 5th wheel. Left Wisconsin 3 days ago, doing Yellowstone, Grand Tetons, and Hell's Canyon for 4-5000 miles. Boondocking at Badlands BLM (The Wall) this very minute! Fantastic place on the edge of the Badlands. Paid over $5/gallon for diesel yesterday for the first time ever. Hurts a little, but glad we're going. Do it!

RE: Beginning RVer: Is this Scenario Doable?
Wouldn't they just use the address that's on your driver's license?

RE: Ford stops taking orders on the lightening
I've never been in a Tesla, but my daughter got an Uber ride in one recently. She said only one thing and it probably sums it all up. She said she felt like she was in the future.

RE: Camping Courtesies
If you will be repeatedly getting in and out of your vehicle throughout your stay, silence the beeps.This one is SO annoying! Either leave your vehicle unlocked or press the button on the door.
This one really grinds my gears. It's equal to people walking through our site.

RE: Thor 5th Avenue Black Water Tank
The first 2 years, ours worked fine. Then, in 2019,it didn't work. I changed the check valve, but that wasn't it. I tried chemicals that are supposed to clean everything but they didn't help. Ever since, I would try it every once in a while and all of a sudden, this year it opened up again, without doing anything different.

RE: Ram 3500 Long bed and Bakflip
I see you haven't gotten any replies, so I will respond.
I have the std. bed, and I think the results are pretty much the same. I use the 4 section Bakflip Fibermax and when folded up flat, have no interference at all,and can see the hitch in the camera, but just the saddle and the latching handle of my Demco. With it folded against the cab, I can see a little more of it.
Hope this helps.

RE: Boondock 12 volt charging for RV battery with a Tesla.
I'm pretty ignorant about EVs,but I would think that the number 1 concern would be draining the vehicle's battery, doing everything possible to conserve it. Why jeopardize it for the rv?

RE: Camping and Covid
We just returned home from our 10 week Snowbird trip.
Private campgrounds are pretty much back, except for the plexiglass shields in the office.
Federal parks are still limiting people in some visitor centers and have opened gift shops, but some still haven't opened nature display areas. They all post signs for requiring masks in bathrooms and all buildings.

RE: time to get vehicle after ordering
My son in law ordered a Jeep Gladiator on February 2 this year. Unbelievably, it was built in 3 weeks, waiting for transportation (from Ohio to Wisconsin). He picked it up last week, 4 weeks later. It took longer to deliver it than to build it.

RE: Bryce Canyon NP to the Northeast
Last October 4 of us went from Torrey to Bryce, all towing 5th wheels. Agreed, it's about the coolest drive ever, except one person said never again.

RE: DEF when towing
My fifth wheel is just under 12,000 lbs. My Ram's DEF mileage when towing is about 450 mpg.

RE: Furnace - propane stop/start during its on cycle?
Mine seems to do this more in higher elevations. At sea level, it runs steady.

RE: How To Tear Off Your Truck Camper Jack Made Easy
A little off subject, but when I was a teenager, my parents had a 1969 pickup camper and the jacks pivoted to horizontal when traveling. I noticed these days that they all hang down when traveling, making them vulnerable. I wonder why that changed.

RE: Hope this is OK for this forum - DEF question
I'm sure when truck shopping the GMC/Chevy salesman wouldn't dare voluntarily show you where the DEF filler is. That alone might deter me from getting one. What a dumb idea to put it under the hood. That's a shame.

RE: Best Pin Box?
I don't know if anyone can tell you what the 'best' is, but 2.5 years ago our trailer was towing just fine with the standard pinbox, but I was concerned when hearing about people having frame problems, so I looked into the different pinboxes, and decided on the Lippert Trailair. I can watch the shock absorber in action in my rearview mirror floating in the truck bed. It holds air very well and use it with a Demco Autoslide hitch.

RE: Where are all of the snowbirds?
We're late to the party. Left Wisconsin straight south this Monday (while it's snowing of course), and didn't see any rvs that day for 460 miles. Started seeing a few getting near Arkansas (mostly new ones for delivery). Many more on I-30. Almost halfway to our first destination, Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, but taking a couple days off near Dallas now.
JK
Have you been to Organ Pipe before? Just curious. We pass by there a few times a year.
This will be our 3rd time there. Staying a whole week this time.
