I picked up my 560 in June 2021. I've got over 25,000 miles and 154 nites. I've seen exactly one other one. I'm not sure where they are all hiding.

I bought the tires only from Walmart. They delivered them to my house. I took the wheels (alloy) off my 560 and took them one at a time to Walmart to have the new tires installed. Very easy process. If you want Walmart to install them for you be aware you must buy the tires from Walmart. They...

Personally I wouldn't pay a premium for a name brand tire. There are two things people focus on when buying automotive tires. Mileage and comfort. Neither of those are important in buying trailer tires. Your trailer tires will likely age out before the mileage matters and nobody will ever be...

Yes. SUV.

I replaced mine about a year ago. I spoke with Cary and we looked at tires together online. These are what I bought after he said they would be fine and were representative of what they use. I don't believe they use the exact same tire every time but you can speak with him if you want to...

If you just want to read about bears from the standpoint of camping safely there's no need to buy anything. Google searches will provide all kinds of free information regarding behavior, how to identify, what to do or not do if you find yourself in a bad situation, etc. If you want a nice...

I do leave mine running in the galley when traveling. I also find travel days tend to use the most energy and the galley gets mighty hot during the day which keeps the fridge running a lot. But it's still more convenient for me than to try and put the fridge in the car during travel and then...

Bear behavior tends to be a function of their environment. They are fast learners. Once they learn a food source they remember it and will seek it out again in the future. So it really does depend on where you are as to what to expect from any particular bear. Bears that live in national parks...

Another thing I was told by a ranger in Yosemite years ago was to always cover your coolers in the car (including empty ones) with a towel or blanket or anything that blocks the view to the cooler. Once bears learn that coolers are a food bonanza, an empty one is just as tempting as a full one...

I have the Delta 3 and the nicest feature on it is that the on/off and display panel and the power plugs are all on the same side of the unit unlike my old Delta Mini. I like that feature a lot more than you might think. I also bought two River 3 Plus units last fall during black Friday. I...

I switched to Verizon a few years back when I finally got fed up with ATT. For anybody that doesn't have a cell phone family plan (or multiple phones), the prepaid accounts (either company) are much better value than the post paid ones. I'm retired and don't "work" on the road. I do use the...

I have a Verizon prepaid phone account. For $35 I get unlimited calls and text as well as 15GB of data. Around town 15GB is plenty since almost everybody has free Wi-Fi. What I have found on my 23-25 day trips to Wyoming and Idaho is that I can usually get by using my phone as a hot spot with or...

The question is, how much data do you get for $24 a month and can you add or drop it anytime without extra fees?

Isn’t there a link in your signature now that represents the badges that currently show in your signature? I’d like to find at least the 100 night one.

What everybody above said is all true. It’s handy, campground compliant as to gray water handling, better resale and saves very little money when buying. And did I mention how handy it is?
