Re: Air Bags

Bill, Sharon, and Toby, Welcome to the club. I hope you find this post and it is helpful with your decision about air bags for your truck. I have a 3150 Cardinal with 3 slides and my pin weight is 2100# I pull it with a 2500 HD Chevy. When I hook it up it drops the truck about 2 inches. I noticed wh...

Re: Traveling highway 2 Michigan to Montana

I have driven 2 from Mi to Minot North Dakota and it is a great road as long as you're not in a hurry. The trip thru the U.P. is beautiful as is Duluth MN., Grand Rapids MN., The Bad River Indian Reservation in WI, and the flat vastness of North Dakota. I can't comment on campgrounds because my trip...

Re: airbags and airline antifreeze

I think you bring up a good point Rick. At work we had air brakes on our bucket trucks and we always had to use alcohol in the system when it got real cold. I think in your air bags there wouldn't be enough water in them to be concerned with. Similar to your the water tank and hot water heater in yo...

Re: new rig and towing

Welcome to the CRVC!! You've come to the right place.

Take a look at your tires and make sure they are in good shape and if they are Kenda, Carriers, or anything made in China make plans to get them changed ASAP.

Re: Dumb question on electrical hookup to truck

On my Chevy the plug was in the step bumper. The camper pigtail reached and worked good. A technician talked me into letting him put one in the back corner of the box and I really like it. It took him about 20 minutes to do. When I questioned how he'd done it so quick he said the pigtail just plugs ...

Re: Campground Memberships

BUT, you have to use it to get the value. IF you stay at the same one or two parks all the time then its of no value. Good point John, I plan to use it mostly while traveling CG to CG. If there is a memberpark close to or destination then we would utilize the member parks when we can. This is a $99...

Re: Campground Memberships

Chris and Jeff, You both make good points about binding contracts. They state in the Q&A section of their WEB site that if you decide not to renew your membership but change your mind a few years later you can renew for $100 plus applicable renewal fees. It looks like it is more of a membership ...
