Hey everyone, we will hopefully be heading out on our Winter road trip to the Southern US from Toronto, ON. later this week. We are not new to this lifestyle however we usually get away before the snow flies and the deep freeze sets in. I'm looking for RV parks that are OPEN off either I65 or I75 as we will need to de-Winterize, fill water tank etc. I used the Love's RV stop in Sidney, OH last year, are there any other options for easy access in the dark that will have water available? We are in a Class A. Thanks in advance.

I just pulled our motorhome out of storage and I found 3 spots that show signs of bugs eating some wood (fine sawdust). There are dead insects in 2 of the 3 piles. I am unable to locate any holes without digging deeper and removing panels. Any thoughts on what they are and if there are likely more? Location is Southern Ontario, Canada ... we have been with the Motorhome all across the US though ... however this problem only showed itself after being stored for the last 6 months on a farm. Your help is appreciated.

Hey everyone, my wife and I (early 40s) are on a 3 month road trip of the SouthWest US in our 5th wheel from Canada. We’ve traveled I10W from Florida panhandle and are currently in Tucson, AZ. We have had no issues finding parks to stay in until AZ ... it seems it’s all 55+ around here. We want to spend a few days in the Phoenix area to check it out and then will be carrying on into Nevada and SoCal, likely in the Colorado river area.

Anybody got any referrals to places that are clean, safe and not 55+?. The stresses of searching and getting denied due to age are getting old! Thanks.

I bought my first Harley this Spring, a Flawless 2007 Nightster with 7000 miles on it. Not a mark anywhere, super clean, and a book of maintenance records thicker than a bible. I loved it and understood the attraction to Harleys finally, it was loud, beautiful and turned heads everywhere I went. I went to a brand new local HD dealership to check out what was up, and look into seat options as the HD Solo seat was starting to show some wear in the centre of the leather ... (7000 miles remember) I pulled into the freshly paved parking lot and saw oil stains in EVERY parking spot ... I had to chuckle to myself, It was funny because of all the stories I'd hea

I'm relatively new to Chemtrol systems and ORP values in particular ... I'm more of a hardware troubleshooter/repair tech and I know enough chemistry to get by. I have maintained 1 or 2 chemtrol systems over the last few years and now 1 of them is stumping me. I can't get the ORP value to budge from 200 or 201 ... even when adding 30L of liquid chlorine. (200,000L pool). I don't have everything in perfect balance as of yet, but I want to eliminate it being a chemistry issue before I call a tech in that specializes in Chemtrols. My chemistry is close but not perfect yet, not enough to have that much of an issue with the ORP readings (I think). I have replaced both sensors. What would ca

So I'm heading to Florida this Winter and am thinking about taking the float course at Jack Brown's Seaplane base. I have submitted the paperwork to have my Canadian License converted to FAA standards which is a requirement to PIC an N number registered aircraft, however I'm not sure if the rating is recognized by TC. I'm pretty sure it is, but I'm really sick of navigating through the FAA and TC Websites looking for information, figured I'd just ask as someone has likely already done it. Thanks in advance.

OK Experts - I love the styling of the Iron Sportsters, however they still demand too much money in the used market here. I have a line on a great 97 Sportster 883 that leaves a lot of money on the table to customize how I'd like it. I really like the styling of the 48 and the Iron series, my eye is picking up some of the differences, how easy/affordable is it to achieve these on a regular Sportster? I see it will need 1)Raised Tank, 2)Fatter front wheel (any changes required to forks, etc?) 3)Lowered suspension (is this achieved with new shocks? or are Sporty's adjustable?

What am I missing? Any experts have any other items to offer? I'd like to keep it as bolt-on as possible, not int
