After getting the new inverter and solar panels on our 5th wheel installed, we decided the best place to test the system out would be at McDonald Creek Provincial Park in British Columbia's West Kootenays. If you've done any camping in B.C.'s interior provincial parks, you know that means NO hook-ups --- no electricity, water or sewer --- at the site. At McDonald Creek they go that 'extra … [Read more...]
Best Camping Near Winthrop
I WAS a great fan of Pearrygin Lake State Park... until just recently.

RVWholesalers: Trail Cruiser 23QB Snags
It seems that with all new RV's, there are bound to be snags --- and our new Trail Cruiser was no exception. First of all, the RV pickup experience with RVWholesalers could be much improved. We had an appointment at 10AM, yet because they only do RV deliveries 2 days a week, on Fridays and Saturdays, they were so busy with other customers that no one spoke to us until 11AM. Then there were … [Read more...]
