Re: Where in bed do you put your head?

We also sleep with our heads on the fridge side. In really nasty rainy weather we are still able to have the window open with no chance of rain blowing in on us.

Re: Towing a 17b with a Toyota Sienna

We towed our 17B with a Sienna, also with a towing package. We did use the WD hitch. Hardly knew the trailer was there. The sway bars really help if doing freeway driving with lots of big rigs going...

Re: Vancouver

An easy way to see Vancouver is to buy a transit day pass - available at all Skytrain terminals but not on the buses. I think they're $9.00 per person. Mac's convenience stores also sells them. You...

Re: 2011 Escape Rally June 3 - 5 Schedule of Events

Nice and warm in Osoyoos these days so hope it stays that way. We will bring a salad of some sort for Saturday and yogurts for Sunday.

Re: Stic Vac

I carry along a small rechargeable dust buster that fits in the closet or under one of the dinette seats. It does the job and doesn't take up too much room.

Re: New trailer on the block

Let us know when the Yukon/Alaska rally is being held and we'll come. We live in Terrace so we're half way there already and we love coming to Whitehorse and points north. You'll love your 19 footer.

Re: What "option" is a must-have?

Stove cover also a must. Adds extra counter space when closed.

Re: two way vs three way refrigerators

Our 19 footer has the two way fridge but on our recent trip south we found that keeping things frozen while travelling was no problem, even in 90 degree heat. I kept a couple of bottles of water in...

Re: Suggestions for the Dempster?

On your way to Whitehorse try to stop at Muckluck Annie's, if it's still open. I believe there's free camping. Don't know how late in the season these places stay open. Stop at Rancheria Falls for...

Re: Toggle switch on bench frame???

That switch can turn the battery off when you are sitting for a long time. Prevents the wired in detectors from draining the battery. I almost missed seeing it when picked up our new trailer.
