    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Canada border

    Not questioning if the COVID vaccination is effective; not "anti-vaccination" at all, your choice....just questioning when will mandatory vaccinations for COVID 19 end. We can comb through the numbers and derive a multitude of pictures but when will the vaccinations not be required. That is a...

    Rando, What did you mean by "...particularly as the number of people who would have issues with requirement continues to decrease."? FYI...vaccination from Canada to USA not required...negative test or anti-body/antigen in lieu of... I still am waiting for someone in power to state what...

    Not a rhetorical question: Will there ever again be a time when we can travel without COVID-19 vaccination restrictions?

    Hey Idahodian! Heck of a project and an intrepid one. You list 900lbs; I thought Grandby was almost double that? A question, you show WD-40 and caption water-proofing; that is a puzzle to me. Will tie downs be an issue? Keep posting with you drive testing...the adventure continues and Molon...

    "For vaccinated travelers of course" ....well that eliminates me from entering; wonder if this will ever end? If not, Canada is off the table for my travels in the future. Too bad. Phil

    Damn Dave you ask the tough questions! If what you describe happens it could indeed be a "sky is falling" event; but 'weight'! FWC roof is rated to 1,000lbs! Two years ago when going into Canada with an RCMP certificate that allowed me to bring in a shotgun I spent 45 mins trying to explain to...

    No, they explicitly knew it was a slide in; in fact they said it was covered with collision, comp and PL/PD same as Tundra whether it was in the Tundra or out of the Tundra....the declaration seems to be the binding document...on mine it says "Veh 03 [which is my Tundra] includes one or more...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Hard sided campers only ! ?

    Not certain about Colo. but out here I have questioned several USFS rangers and our FWC is considered a hard sided camper...think about it, the sides my Hawk are not soft material but framed aluminum siding...the low camper trailers with material side starting only a few feet from the ground...

    An 07 GSA is an off road bike? You bet, with mods, it was better at off road than I was a rider....only gripe was the 19" front wheel; WR 21" front wheel off road made a huge difference..GSA did everything I asked of it, but again not for long tight single tracks...torque pulled me out of...

    David, Just for me the USAA has hit all the marks; plus, their information is easily available on-line and concise. "Stage in life"? Yup, I hear you, I am 78+ and that is exactly why I was getting tired of being pushed and pulled by insurance demands and hype. Time came for me to call the...

    Thanks Rando...temperature derived from voltage after a calibration...all the tech/circuitry was over my head but the concept was not... Appreciate knowing how and why...just me. Phil

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West How Does The Victron BMV Temperature Sensor Measure Temperature?

    OK, I know how it is hooked up and that it measures the temperature outside the battery and is a 'Smart' device via my BMV 712 and Victron Connect.... BUT how exactly does it measure temperature? Victron sez it contains a "chip", but 'how does it work"? Since my Victron DC/DC charger [30amp]...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Some thoughts on "overpaneling" for the Pacific Northwest

    Hmmmm...not certain...considering the sunlight angle, period [daylight hours], intermittent cloud cover, temperature...having "extra" solar watts might just beat ending up with not enough....true DC/DC is a boon to charging especially into an LiFePo4 battery; but it does need the motor to be...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Adequate Hawk Install?

    Paul...I would bet that the box of the Hawk would not allow angling down to frame member...you can take it back and ask politely for installation of the same "plates" they used on the front mounting points on the rear..or, I would just install stout plates myself; seems like access is good to...

    Three to be accurate: '69 TR6; '07 GSA; and, '08 WR250R....the last two are off road bikes. Made the jump from Farmers to USAA as of July 1, today. Three vehicles, homeowners and umbrella. Coverage better or equal and saved about 1K a year...time will tell, but I grew tired of being milked...

    Definitely a tangle of issues when purchasing insurance for anything, but for my Hawk especially since the concept of a FWC style camper attached to the bed of a pickup truck seems difficult to convey. I called my Farmers agent and spent a lot of time going over the details of our policies...

    TX, Very interesting...in Texas are you required to register the FWC? Did USAA say why you had to insure FWC through Progressive and not them on your Truck insurance? With Farmers they do not directly insure my motorcycles but insure them also through Progressive. I know that trailers here...

    Rando...what is "direct insurance"? "We now just have direct insurance, which is significantly cheaper, and assume the camper is not covered (which is fine by us). ' Thanks...Phil

    Great input from others and I appreciate the information....here is my 2cents from spending 2.5 hours on phone today with a USAA Agent. First, I was impressed with her knowledge and how she conducted the review of my existing Farmers policies and then quoting me what the same, or very close to...
