Re: COVID 19 information for camping

Kentucky State parks are closed to overnight camping at least until May 15th. Private parks I am not sure. There is a 14 day quarantine for anybody coming into the state.

Re: Interesting Video on Oil Filters

We use Wix, Napa Gold , and Baldwin filters on our school bus fleet. Some of the older buses have around 250,000 miles on them. I personally use only Cummins filters on my Ram.

Re: F350 SD Crew DRW tran & collant questions

I do not own a Ford but 240 to 250 coolant temps are extreme. I wouldn’t want my temps past 220. Make sure that your fan clutch is engaging. Also check for bugs or dirty fins on radiator/ A/C condenser. Possible termastat not opening completely. Check coolant hoses for firmness. They could possibly ...

Re: Williamstown,Ky campgrounds

Whispering Hills Campground in Georgetown is the only good choice in the area if you are coming in from I64/I75. It is 32 mikes from the Ark Encounter. There is another campground on I 75 in Dry Ridge called I 75 Camper Village but it only has a few sites that would be easy to get into because they ...

Re: Diamond T Progress to date!

Donna it has rained here most days since Christmas and is so muddy we can't hardly walk to the cabin. Rain is forecast for the next week or so. It will be awhile before we are in the cabin. We will be glad though because the wind has blown so hard the last few days it seems like the camper is going ...

Debbie last year Cherryl and I rolled into Rawlings around midnight trying to get back on schedule after a breakdown. When we arrived there were so many RV's in the lot that we barely had room to get out little camper in.

Re: Edge Insight CTS

When I first bought my truck I treated it like a baby. I had never owned a diesel. The guys I worked with were a lot younger than me and they made fun of me driving it so carefully. I started having check engine light coming on and then it would go out for a long time and come back on. The guys told...

Re: Workkamping

We enjoy doing it Dave. I don't want to do more than a few hours a week. Maybe enough hours to pay for the site. I don't believe it would be fun to do if I had to do it. Good luck with your application.

Workkamping

I retired last year in April and started traveling in the camper fulltime although we had lived in it for two years already. After I retired and the rallies were done we came to Arizona for the winter and I became bored not working. I volunteered at the park we are in to do whatever they needed done...
