Voting Question: Will a 1/2 ton Tundra sufficiently pull a 5th Wheel?

Well, we're in the market for an RV. Don't know if we should receive a motorhome, a truck camper or a 5th Wheel. We probably would be towing a SEADOO for the grandkids. But our first concern is the truck for towing a 5th Wheel or for carrying a big camper. Although we are seniors on Social Security we figure it would be nice to look the USA while we have the health. If there's no money left over, well..........perhaps we could live in the RV. My husband and I thank every those who have answered

Resolved Question: Want to hire a camper van or car in America - help?

We're going to a couple of places around the US later this year and we were thinking of hiring a camper van for a week to go around Nevada-California. The problem is, we looked at some websites which add loads of costs onto the hire price including $200 to drop the van off somewhere other than your pick-up point. Is there any cheaper way of doing this, i.e. finding a private RV rental place or doing it on the day? Our other option is to hire a car - info please?! Websites, price of petrol etc? Thank you very much x

Voting Question: Teardrop trailer on a tent site?

Considering building a teardrop. I like tent camping myself but my camping partner has a rain omen as far as camping is concerned. (Rains, thunderstorms, torrential downpours, tornadoes when ever I camp with her (11 out of 14 times now)). So, thought about a tear drop. Do you know if most campgrounds generally let you put teardrops on tent sites because they are so tiny? I like seclusion, not being parked in an open lot with a bunch of RV's I know I could call each campground individually but we just like to pack and go and don't always know where we will end up.

I've been checking around for primitive camping sites in the Northern Florida Panhandle and Gulf Shores, Alabama where the tents can be set up on the beach instead of nearby areas.

We are looking for the experience of sleeping close the water to be able to fall asleep hearing the waves.

Open Question: OWWW ; moderate/severe sunburn inquiry ?!?

This past weekend, I went to my cousin's RV and we swam A LOT. We put our bikinis below a pair of short shorts and a tshirt, then sprayed our legs, arms, lifted up our shirts and sprayed our bellies and backs, and then put a bit on our hands and rubbed our faces. Now, you may have realized that we were careless enough to forget our chests/shoulders, resulting in HORRIBLE suburns that are insanely painful and feel as if they are going to peel soon, and I am really dizzy/sleepy, but that might be from how busy we were. I go to a day-camp with sports and such, and we go swimming Tuesdays, so I was wondering if swimming in a public pool with a lot of chlorine and a lukewarm temperature would do any damage or cause any pain? Also, does anybody know of remedies for suburns? I've already applied a lot of aloe vera and I just made a glue consisting of milk and oatmeal that I'm going to apply soon. Please help; I am in desperate need of some !

My tardy husband had a way with birds that was amazing. He could literally charm them out of the trees. This past Sunday (dad's Day) I was reminded of this quality of his as several folks came over to use my RV front yard space to bar-be-que. Literally hundreds of gulls landed onto the yard and quietly sat and didn't make a sound. One of the folks gift was amazed as she had never seen such a phenomena. To me, it was a pleasant reminder of every the times various birds just congregated in our various camps when my husband was about. Almost made me feel as if he was there and letting me know it was o-kay to celebrate "his day" even if he wasn't there in person....after every, I am raising his daughter to the best of my ability and don't want her to ever forget how great of a dad he really was and want to nurture that memory. So, what is/was intriguing about your spouse? Julie D, sounds like your pal just may have a Raven or a Crow as her totem. My daughter has the Raven and keeps dragons close by (thus my bearded dragon in my home) and my husband's had his Hawk, though some folks believe it was the Eagle (his Native name was Talking Bear and many believe the bear was his totem, but it's the raptors that sought him out).

I recently rescued a 1 yr old GSP mix from the SPCA, so I am not sure of her history. They stated she chewes and jumps..She has not chewed anything (except at our gates), she did jump, we trained her to sit and laydown. She walks on a leash 2-3 times a day, very well and loves to ride in a car. She is with me about 18 hrs a day. But when I placed her in our back yard she freaked out, chewing and pushing at the gate. We fixed the wooden gates so she can't chew at them. She starts to run around in a panic (I was w/her) and starts to pant rapidly. She has gotten a litte better over the last few days. I wanted her to snooze inside with me, when I closed my bedroom door ( I was w/her) she scratched at the door and started panting again (rapidly), she seemed like a scared little kid. I have not tried a box yet, because I don't want to stress her out. I want to take her camping with us in our RV but I am worried that she will be stressed in a tiny area .How can I help her?
