    Zion natl park in the spring with kids?

    Sam and Ralph, you both mentioned that I will be more comfortable if I have elec hook ups when I am first starting out.

    Do you use glass dishes?

    I am going to be loading up our HiLo this week and I would like to use glasses and "regular" coffee cups, etc. Do you do this or do you just use plastic? Do I need to worry about things shifting a lot and breaking during travel? Thank you, Cheryl

    What is this switch for?

    Above the bathroom sink there is a cabinet and then above that there is a switch. It is the same type of switch that is for the porch light and other interior lights. It doesn't turn anything on or off though. Do you have this switch? If so, what does it control. Thanks, Cheryl

    Where can I find lamp shades and a shower curtain?

    Hi there. Our new-to-us 1989 Hilo needs all new shades for the lamps. I can't find them anywhere! We finally found some at Lamps Plus and they don't fit. :( It isn't the shade that doesn't fit - it is the fitting that goes onto the bulb. It is too big and from looking online, they all have...

    Zion natl park in the spring with kids?

    Thanks for the great info, and the links. It wasn't easy finding somewhere that we wouldn't have to worry too much about snow or rain. It seems like Zion is going to be perfect for us! :) Jack and Janet, I can't help but think that we might enjoy Bryce or Arches more. I like areas with less...

    question about cleaning my used trailer for the first time

    Thank you, everyone for the great tips. I cleaned, as Rolff said, every surface - inside and out - with Lysol. I even scrubbed the ceiling and managed to get the foot pedal for the toilet clean. It was a big job but it feels so good now that it is done! After I got everything clean I went...

    What are your favorite window coverings?

    Our new to me Hi-Lo is missing half the curtains. What are your preferences for window coverings? I could make new curtains from fabric that I already have or I could buy some mini-blinds. I have seen those RV window coverings that pull down and just sort of stay by themselves and they are...

    I am in coastal So. California so I am ok as far as the weather goes. We get a little rain in January but it doesn't get all that cold. We will probably go on a short little local trip to the beach or something around the end of Jan or beginning of Feb.

    We bring it home tomorrow!!!!!

    Definitely! I owe you a particularly big thank you. If it wasn't for the fact that we have practically the same tow vehicle I don't think my husband would have believed that our truck was big enough. I really appreciate all of the information and photos that you shared with us. Woohoo for our...

    We bring it home tomorrow!!!!!

    Woohoo! It is here! :) Got it! Love it! My husband said it towed great. He said he thinks I will feel comfortable driving it too which says a lot because I am a little apprehensive about it. I've never towed anything before but if he says he thinks I will be fine it then I am sure I will be...
