That is what I was thinking, then scrolled down and had to put down my bowl of cereal to laugh.

RE: 3 unsolicited offers to buy my PUP
Due to the increased cost of fuel, PUPs are very popular. In the Okanagan and Kootney Valleys in BC, I have seen a dramatic increase of PUPs and less and less TT's and even a slight decrease in MH's.

RE: Minivan towing target dry weight of new trailer
Another way to reduce towing weight is if you are headed to a CG and getting power and water hook ups, do not fill your tanks. Water is 10 lbs to the gallon. Also dump your tanks (fresh/grey/black) at the closest point of your departure.

RE: Any Quicksilver owners experience this?
In reveiwing the set up video online, I see they pull the canvas outwards then flip the hang out sections on top of the fold down last before flipping the beds. Could this be caused by not folding away properly?

RE: Any Quicksilver owners experience this?
The slices on the black marks are rub throughs where the poles have rubbed through when the canvas has been pinched up against the poles and something else. This happens while traveling.

RE: Any Quicksilver owners experience this?
The black is tranish from the poles. I see it all the time on the chip trailers we haul where the tarp touches the upper crossmembers.

RE: Article: US agents given powers to seize/search laptops
Next you see them confiscating cell phones because they can not prove who you have called and think you are a terrorist. The US Government is definitely killing their tourist trade fast. This is the #1 reason to not enter the USA.

RE: Two Cylinder Conversion
If you have an auto wrecker in your area, seel if they deal in RV's or if they know of who does and check out picking up your hardware parts there. I would by the gas fittings new though.

The Silence of our Mod
I see our mod is silent when pointed comments about issues of free speech and Canada being paired with an American state instead of being on its own as a Country. I still think there should be a Canadian Moderator moderating the Canadian forum. And yes there is one listed but never around.

RE: Edmonton-penticton-coeur d'alene and back road tips
Right now in Vernon it is 1.429 and Kamloops is about the same. They just dropped it a couple of days ago by 3 cents. But as the Lonng Weekend approaches, they will jack it up 7 cents to 1.499 as per their standard ways around here.

RE: RV resorts/camping in BC...best times??
Jasper / Banff, are hard to beat, I never met a non-friendly person anywhere in B.C.!
Last time I looked at a map, they have not moved the provincial boundries, and Jasper and Banff are in Alberta.

RE: Hwy 40 Grande Prarie to Hinton in Alberta
Yes it is paved, and some pulls, and a couple of narrow sections, but they are short. Just watch out for log trucks, and when one is turning, even coming head on to you and making a right for them, DO NOT pass them as they have really long rear overhang, that will swing into your lane.

RE: Edmonton-penticton-coeur d'alene and back road tips
Dont go south to Merritt. Go east from Kamloops to the Jct with 97 at Monte Creek and south from there. The climb up Monte Creek and Kal Lake Lookout are nothing compared to the climbs out of Kamloops and out of Merrit and the drop into Kelowna are real grinds. Go the two lane road route and save gas.

RE: Edmonton-penticton-coeur d'alene and back road tips
If you want to go via Jasper and Kamloops to the Okanagan, then the hills you will have from Kamloops are the climb up Monte Creek Jct. at the Jct with 1 and 97, the pull out of Vernon and Garbage Dump Hill (Kal Lake Lookout) south of Vernon, the drop out of Summerland to Penticton, the gradual climb out of Penticton. The best route from Osoyoos to Spokane is 97 south to the Jct with WA 17 south of Omak. You will only have a very gradual pull from Bridgeport up to the Jct with WA 174. Take the 174 to the Jct with US 2 and follow that to Spokane and from there your are on your way. I have used this route with my transport as it is the least pulls and slowdowns for towns and Jct. saving fuel.

RE: Jasper to Kamloops to Bellingham WA
A little more scenic and pleasant is the 5A from Kamloops to Merritt. It is about 11km longer than the Coquahalla and joins back up at Merritt to do the rest of the Coquahalla.
If you go this route you will have to climb out of Kamloops on an 5% grade for a short bit then an 11% down grade into the valley this highway follows. Then you are done with major pulls until Merritt.
