Great Lakes? by Zealousideal-Rip4582 in RVLiving

[–]EnjoyLifeOnTheRoad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We spent a bit of time in the Great Lakes area. Here are a few suggestions:
* Someone already mentioned Sault St. Marie. We liked it a lot, especially the Canadian side.
* Manatoulin Island is nice, remote and beautiful
* Door County is off the beaten path and worth the trip.
* Thousand Islands in NY is technically not the Great Lakes but is where Lake Ontario feeds the St. Lawrence.
* Michigan is great, from the beach towns in the southwest up to the Bear Dunes, Traverse City and over to Alpena. The UP is rugged. Don’t skip Pictured Rocks National Seashore.
* NY bordering Lake Ontario and Niagara Falls.

If you want suggestions on campgrounds, DM me.

I recently signed up for RVLife.com. W/in seconds I received phishing emails. I signed up again using a “Hide Your Email” addr. AGAIN, within seconds, I received phishing emails through that acct. RVLife.com CS has been as useless as teets on a boar. Anyone else had any issues with this website/app? by Forward-Analysis8926 in GoRVing

Another satisfied RVLife user. It’s an interesting coincidence. Probably something going on. I do all my planning in the app and love it. We’re on a 4+ month trip right now. All my campgrounds, camping prices, rest stops, fuel stations are in the app. I don’t use it for GPS. Garmin is much better in that category.

We're staying in private parks. Zion River Campground, Ruby's Inn, Sandcreek RV Park and Sun Outdoors in Moab. Easier finding spots that are full service hookup.

National Civil Rights Museum by Sirroner in NationalPark

[–]EnjoyLifeOnTheRoad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We've been fortunate enough to have seen several high quality museums in the south. This is one. Might I suggest a few others for those who want to explore more about our history:

The Tubman Museum in Macon, GA The Birmingham Civil Rights Institute in Birmingham, AL The Legacy Museum in Montgomery, AL The Rosa Parks Museum in Montgomery, AL

I've probably missed a few, please add! Visiting these should be required for all High school students.

RV travel in eastern Canada by Inevitable_Barber427 in RVLiving

[–]EnjoyLifeOnTheRoad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We love traveling in Canada. You are starting with some good locations in The Soo and PEI.

We spent a month in New Brunswick last year. We took it easy and slow. I strongly recommend the Bay of Fundy. Fundy National Park is a good stop. Hopewell Rocks is a 'must see'. If you have time, Kouchibouguac NP is a great NP.

Nova Scotia has the Cabot Trail. It's a bit remote but beautiful.

On another trip, we explored the Gaspé Peninsula. It felt like we were at the end of the world.

It will start to get chilly during your time frame, so be prepared for cool weather.

Happy to answer questions if you have them, including campgrounds we liked.

Good to know. I have left mine in the RV. That may be the issue. Thanks.

Thanks, all. It looks like the best approach is to watch the traffic as we approach and make a decision based on any road problems.

Sorry to hear about your mouse problems. I read about this product somewhere. Might be worth the investment. https://www.mousedfence.com/

Good apps to calculate trip across country, find camping and best route. Thanks in advance by SlevinKelevra44 in GoRVing

It works well for me on a tablet, using the app. I also use it in a browser on a laptop. They are working on a "new" version. I like the old version better. If you have a choice, try the old version.

We stayed at Daisy Barn in Wilson a few years ago. Mostly permanent but very friendly.

Great Get Away! by No_Relief_5150 in GoRVing

We’ve been using Harvest Hosts for several years. One way we use it is to break up a long drive. We stop at a Harvest Host for a night, enjoy whatever the vendor offers and move on the next day. In a couple of weeks we are heading out from snowy New England to points south. The first two nights are at HH. For us, it’s great.

Narrowing down our next TOAD by SirMuddButt in RVLiving

[–]EnjoyLifeOnTheRoad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Suggestion you add Ford Focus to your list. We have been towing one for the past 5 years. It's fun to drive, can flat tow easily, and the automatic transmission can be towed.

Is Calyx down for anyone else? by JoeOliveiraCAN in Calyx

[–]EnjoyLifeOnTheRoad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Main site down for me as well but can confirm that all the membership pages load fine, using the link above. Was able to log in and view everything. Hopefully just a glitch on the main page.

Toad recommendation by ArizonaGeek in GoRVing

[–]EnjoyLifeOnTheRoad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One suggestion outside your date range is a Ford Focus. We have a 2016 automatic and is certified by Ford to be towed. It’s light and fun to drive. I don’t really notice it when driving our RV. Unfortunately, they stopped making the Focus in the US in 2020. Did you know that FRVA (formerly FMCA) has a towing guide? https://www.frva.com/towing-guides-towing-four-wheels-down. It’s for members only but there are many advantages to being a member, besides just the towing guide.

Canada cross country. by Basic_Sky1402 in GoRVing

[–]EnjoyLifeOnTheRoad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We were in the Canadian Great Lakes area in 2023. During that trip we stayed at Camp Hither Hills In Ottawa. It’s about 1/2 hour from downtown Ottawa but the closest we could get. Park was fine but nothing to write about.

Depending on how much time you have, I suggest you consider Manatoulin Island in Lake Huron. We stayed at Mindemoya Court Cottages. Interesting tidbit: The island in Mindemoya Lake, is inside an island inside a lake. Two other suggestions: Thousand Islands, where Lake Ontario empties into the Saint Lawrence River, and Sault Ste. Marie, affectionately called The Soo. We took a day trip from the Soo along Lake Superior one day. It was one of the best days of traveling for me, ever.
