Re: Have you Checked out New Campground Directory Reply #6 – November 22, 2011, 11:57:14 am Yahoo Message Number: 8021I bought and (sent back almost immediately) the Trailer Life Directory software for my laptop. I don't think it is user friendly. Not sure if they are similar in how they find CG and set up routes. I use an HP mini laptop as my GPS, nice size screen (10") and I was able to make a small shelf that sits on the dash.From: KodiakChassisClassC@yahoogroups.com [mailto:KodiakChassisClassC@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Greg GimlickSent: Tuesday, November 22, 2011 10:28 AMTo: KodiakChassisClassC@yahoogroups.comSubject: Re: [KodiakChassisClassC] Have you Checked out New Campground DirectoryDave wrote:QuoteI agree.

Re: Have you Checked out New Campground Directory Reply #10 – November 22, 2011, 02:26:55 pm Yahoo Message Number: 8026Are you kidding. It was hot and humid here in Florida - we roasted. I was hoping to win but we didn't start playing until the 7th hole. Won 3 out of 6 monthly scranbles last year and the year before.Did win the bocci tournament last week and had the high series with handicap in bowling for the month so can't complain.Donps. Added a travel trailer to our fleet. It was delivered yesterday. Now the fun of finding the glitches. Have a half dozen so far. Lazydays has been pretty good - surprised me in fact. This is what we got (it sits next to our park model and will only be towed as far as the storage area in the off season. Park rules requires tie down and skirting but no insurance company will insure it if tied down and skirted. They had four models that were identical except for colour trim inside.http://lazydays.com/RVs/Inventory/Forest-River/Wildwood-DLX/1012582Now Phil has his own bunk room and bath. So far only little items but they are going to have to come 45 miles to make the fixes. Our Escape that we towed down sure can't tow this back to Lazydays for service. Quote Selected

I don't think it is user friendly. Not sure ifthey are similar in how they find CG and set up routes.I've used the TL Directory software for several years for trip planningand for the most part have been satisfied, but I do careful comparisonsbetween its routing and my GPS routing. Neither is perfect, but betweenthe two I can usually stay out of trouble. I use a Garmin 1490T for a GPS.I did notice that the trip routing in the 2011 version of the TLsoftware wasn't as good as the previous year. I haven't ordered the 2012version yet and am not sure if I will. I think the software is prettyover priced.I have their campground finder for the iPhone app and am not veryimpressed with that.There is a free iPhone/iPad app called AllStays Camp & RV or somethinglike that, that I find pretty decent. It's a good quick reference, butwhat I do like is it gives you low overpass warnings. Last year inDenver, my GPS and TL software had me going thru a section of Denverthat had a 12 ft underpass and I only happened to notice because I waslooking at the iPhone program the night before.The overpass and width issue is why I'm wondering about the new MagellanGPS. It lets you enter your vehicles stats for dimension and weight.Take care, Greg Quote Selected
Re: Have you Checked out New Campground Directory Reply #14 – November 26, 2011, 10:40:14 am Yahoo Message Number: 8041I checked out the I phone app from Allstays. They now want $2.99 for the camping App.I did find a Woodall's app that seems to work well. Also have Passport America's App. Saw a note the other day. Where Camp Club has sold out to PA.Things are happening at Affinity. Good Sam sent me a email with Camping world adds. Saw where PC and Sams Club will be the same membership. Could be good stuff for us and Affinity.I use a POI file from POI Factory in my Garmin. List almost 17,000 campgrounds. Also have other camping POI loaded.BestRon Hall Quote Selected
