Re: Jensen radio will not pair with Bluetooth devices - SOLVED! See last post for detail.
I don’t know why it works; seems electronic devices “lose” their minds from time-to-time, and the only way to cure their amnesia is to do the equivalent of a “CTRL-ALT-DEL” on them. It’s a last resort, but sometimes it works. By killing all power, you are, basically, putting them to death, then resurrecting them! Glad it worked out for you!

Re: Some "Out the Window" Views
While waiting for our new house to be finished in Spokane we have been on the road since July 30. Pulled our [email protected] 400 back to Michigan, through Minnesota and the UP. Then down to Indiana. We are now heading home and spent a night just south of Wall, South Dakota, in the dispersed camping area just north of the Badlands National Park. Quite a few campers but everyone was respectful - quiet and killed the lights after sunset to enjoy the stars.

Re: Show us your Post-Quarantine Campsite!!
Had a great spot at the junction of the Kootenay/White rivers (SE British Columbia) for 5 days.....a bit of a "bear" getting into but the little [email protected] handled it like a trouper
The view out the "stargazer" was fantastic, and we worth the trouble of getting there
The night ski was perty fantastic, but the moon was still around 90% so killed off much of the Milky Way colors......that's Jupiter and Saturn in the left middle corner
Got a little snow up top one night (couple hours of rain at the river) but other than that, the weather was incredible
Oh yah.......the fishing was pretty good as well (hard to get a good fish picture by yourself LOL), you can see how the White river gets its name from the chalk formations it cuts its way through
Happy Labour Day Weekend all

Re: Maiden voyage completed! Lessons learned and a pair of wet shoes.
Your friends for food storage, and for small odds and ends, are Ziplocks. Quart size and gallon size, toss the boxes they come in and use rubber bands to keep each size together.
By the way, go to the women’s hair section and get a package of pony tail holders as they last longer than rubber bands.
Re: Yet Another [email protected] Newbie
Before the pandemic, we thought we would only use the 320's toilet in the middle of the night. We are using it exclusively now, and have found we can go for 3 days without needing to visit the dump station. The learning curve is indeed steep - the 320 is small but sophisticated. Now that cooler weather is here we are getting acquainted with the Alde system and it's nuances. Happy (and safe) Trails!
Re: Checking brake and turn signal lights when you're solo
Headlamps on AND emergency flashers on all at the same time.
Re: Checking brake and turn signal lights when you're solo
I turn on the emergency flashers (hazard light button). That lights up all of the rear lights making it easy to check that they are all working.
Re: Our Maiden Voyage
Everyone will tell you and there are even YouTube videos that are saying, "Don't buy an RV right now!" "It's a seller's market!" "There will be a flood of used RV's after COVID19," etc. Well, I'm sorry, but we can't wait for the market as we have not seen our children and grandchildren since February. They live 9 hours away and I am 64 with a medical condition. I will not do well with this nasty virus, so my wife and I have just laid low in our six acre forest west of Little Rock since March. We don't want to stay in a hotel. We don't want to have our food prepared for us at a fast food place on the highway and we don't want to use a toilet at a truck stop. So, I suggested we become self-contained and buy an RV. We had never considered one before this moment. We didn't want a big trailer because we didn't want to have to buy a truck to pull it. We also wanted to be able to pull into gas stations and rest stops easily. Some campers are crazy-big. I also didn't want an "ordinary" trailer like everybody else's. We felt that if it was unique and had lots of features it would be more desirable for resale. I started looking at trailers and RV's in April. I looked EVERY DAY! You have to. I was looking at used 2017 [email protected] 320 S Boondoks for 17K-20K. Used 2019 and 2020 models for 21K-24K. It is truly a seller's market, no doubt, and it is true that inventories are very low so selection is sparse. It takes daily hunting an a lot of perseverance to find what you want. I didn't limit the size of my seller's market, either. I kept searching the entire nation. About 3 or 4 weeks ago I found a new 2020 model (not a new 2021) for sale at a dealership in Mississippi. He wanted 27,500 for it and I would have to pay an additional $500. for the brake assist/light kit which I needed. $28K total. That was a bit steep, but I was tired of looking and I was afraid if we waited much longer our grandkids would be graduating college when we finally arrived. They are ages 6, 3, and 1 right now. I was an inch away from pulling the trigger but when I went to give the salesman $500. to hold it until I got there, he wouldn't take a credit card. He wanted the deposit in cash. There's nothing wrong with that, but it was an inconvenience that just kind of ticked me off. Plus, I had been waiting on a check for two months and I was going to use that to buy the [email protected], but I didn't have it in hand, yet. I said, "I tell you what...I think I may be getting the cart before the horse so when I get my check I'll call you...If you still have the [email protected], I'll buy it." I kept looking at RV classifieds and dealer websites daily. One morning to my surprise, the exact model I was looking for popped up at a dealership just 30 minutes from my house. I was there within an hour. As we looked it over, it was even better than what we had imagined. It had central air, a microwave, lots of electrical and usb ports, a full-size spare with matching rim mounted in the front. It was the one. The color even matched our Highlander. When I sat down to discuss price with the salesman he said, "27,500.00." He said that I would also have to buy the additional brake assist/light kit for $750.00. Total: 28,250. I said, "If you could bring it in around $26,500. for the trailer, I would buy it." But, I told him he would have to hold it for a week and I would only put my deposit on credit card. They actually did even better. By the time we were through he took my deposit on credit card and we agreed on $26,500 total with the brake assist/light kit and anti-sway bar all thrown in. Total for everything out the door: $26,500. Sara and I took delivery two weeks ago and we paid cash. I realize that is still high, but we are pleased. The [email protected] allows us to be self-contained during this health crisis. If I were to use this for two or three years and sell it for 5K less it would still be a bargain to us. However, we had so much fun on our maiden voyage last week that I think we may fall in love with RVing and just keep it for the next 15 years.
Re: Some "Out the Window" Views
Bighorn Mountains- 2019. Silly, but I brought my childhood Pooh Bear pals along for a journey out west from Wisconsin to a couple of free medical mIssions and some sightseeing in between. They ended up being fun company...who liked a bit of wine and whiskey😉
