RE: Tax refund scam Canada

Of course you should check if the sender / link is valid. If it appears valid from someone I know, I will often email them back saying "Did you email this and what's it about?".
I feel quite safe using email carefully.

RE: Tax refund scam Canada

CRA ("Canada irs") DOES send emails:
CRA email
I try to do EVERYTHING via email. It's annoying as hell when so 2-factor logins insist on a text message for 2nd factor.

RE: USA export controls on golf carts?

Good to know. I'd hate to get to the Canadian border and get sent back to USA customs for export paperwork.
I know I have to pay the taxes but did you have to get an inspection or anything else?

RE: USA export controls on golf carts?

A motorhome for personal purposes definitely has to be exported from USA - lotsa paperwork 3 days in advance of crossing the border.
Maybe I wasn't clear: I'm Canadian an want to take the golf cart to Canada for personal use (then bring it back next winter, or not).
If it makes any difference, the golf cart is not street legal.

USA export controls on golf carts?

We've acquired a golf cart to help getting around campgrounds and we're wondering if we can take it to Canada.
I know motor vehicles must be exported - so a Class A would be subject to export controls but a 5th wheel isn't.
I know our golf cart is motorized (36V electric motor), but does it qualify as a motor vehicle?
I could probably call up CBP and ask, but I'm wondering if anyone here has experience.

RE: Pet Peeves in RV Parks

I've been trying to decide which is worse: barking dogs or dog owners who yell at their dogs.

RE: Are the new WFCO's as bad as the old ones?

I have a "crappy" WFCO 68100. It's 11 years old. I have no idea if it goes into bulk mode.
Is that bad?Have you ever pushed the button?
Nope. Can't reach it.

WFCO "Made in China", Progressive Dynamics "Proudly manufactured in the U.S.A"
They're both foreign to me.

RE: Should I Buy The Dealer's Hitch

I guess that explains the bangs I hear from travel trailers here in the RV park. I keep thinking they hit something but it's just the hitch banging.

That's funny - I find Florida drivers to be among the worst I've seen in North America.

RE: What roof vent covers for Fantastic Fans

Thanks for the Amazon links. Think I didn't look there?
Either "On Backorder" or "Out of Stock"

RE: What roof vent covers for Fantastic Fans

I found a 3-pack of fantastic vent hoods for $500+ and thought "That's wildly expensive" until I found a single fantastic vent hood for about $600!
While I think the fantastic vent hood is the best, I think I'll buy the MaxxAir Fanmate which is available at a reasonable price.

RE: What roof vent covers for Fantastic Fans

Fantastic Vent cover HANDS DOWN!!! No stupid screen to block air flow. Added mine in 2015 with RV in the Sun almost every day still look new.

Looks like you had to scrape away the lap sealant and locate original screw holes for this. Correct?

RE: What roof vent covers for Fantastic Fans

The video for fantastic vent is pretty convincing airflow wise but when I type the URL at the end of the video fantasticvent.com, it just goes to the Dometic site.
Is the Dometic Ultra Breeze Cover Assembly the same thing? Looks like it.
