Roy, I second the question about the propane sticker and have a second question as well. Did you mount a flag pole holder to the front drivers side of your camper or is that something else?

Yes, at first it does mess with you but when you are out playing for 10 - 14 hrs riding the trails you get tired. We get about 101 days of summer and 9 months of winter and snow.

It's rough.

Been at the campground this season with bad internet. So I haven't been on line all that much. There has been a lot of good looking rig on this sight. Planning a short trip from CT to ME soon. Love camping on the ocean.

My middle son is planning a trip to visit his younger brother in Tucson, AZ next summer with his Pace Arrow and has asked if I want to tag along with the Gateway 5th wheel. I will probably take the trip with him.

Talking with my youngest son who is living out in Tucson, he is suggesting we stay at Catalina Mountain campground. Any input would be appreciated.

I have no knowledge of the campgrounds but I have been to Tucson several times to visit my Mom. Catalina state park is lower I think in the foot hills of MT Lemmon so it may be quite warm. I have driven up Mt Lemmon and it is very scenic and much cooler as you go up obviously so if you are camping in one of these campgrounds it will be cooler. It amazed me seeing the brush and cacti disappear and "real" trees appear as you climb. They actually have a small ski hill and require chains in the winter at times for travel up.

West of town is the Saguaro forest and Tucson Mountain park I have hiked off of Gates Pass rd. very beautiful area. Enjoy
