What do you look for in a campsite? I know some people like it quiet and stay at their site the whole time, but others like trails or points of interest nearby. Or are you still figuring that out?We are on our second trip out in the RV at Long Point Provincial Park. Electric hook ups only (no water or sewer), but we brought 81 gallons of fresh water with us, and there’s a dump station on the way out. We are in a corner lot directly across from the spotless washrooms and showers, so we’ll only need to waste our water at night and for dishes.
We brought the pup. She hasn’t barked at a single dog or person walking by yet. Good girl!

Both, but I’m more about hiking, and day trips to visit points of interest.What do you look for in a campsite? I know some people like it quiet and stay at their site the whole time, but others like trails or points of interest nearby. Or are you still figuring that out?
If you ever make it to Wisconsin, I highly recommend Devil's Lake. They have some beautiful trails around a lake that was formed by the Wisconsin Glacier 15,000 years ago. Because of the glaciers, there are a lot of bluffs and rock formations all around the lake. There are several trails around it with different difficulty levels, so there's something for everyone. The Quartzite Campground is really nice there. My family used to spend about a week there camping every summer when my cousins and I were kids. Although you have to book about a year out to get a site. Or at least that's how it used to be.Both, but I’m more about hiking, and day trips to visit points of interest.
Mike spent the first 25 summers of his life as a seasonal camper, and then we bought my Aunt’s trailer and seasonal camped for 2010 and 2011. I HATED it.
We bought a travel trailer so we could stay in multiple different campgrounds. Seasonal is so cliquey and HOA-y.
This particular trip is a do nothing by the beach trip. We’re easing the pup into it. She hasn’t barked at anyone or any other dogs walking by yet. I’m quite impressed.
With our work schedule being notoriously all over the place, we’re not in a position to book a year out … unless there’s a generous cancellation/refund policy.If you ever make it to Wisconsin, I highly recommend Devil's Lake.

It's also near the Wisconsin Dells, which is called the Waterpark Capital of the World. There's a lot of things to do there, but if I'm being honest, it's gotten pretty sketchy.
Here's a couple pictures I found online from some of the trails:

A lot of people also like to go up to Door County to camp and do nature-related activities, although I've never been up there. Door County is up in the peninsula in Lake Michigan.
According to Google, if you cancel by 3pm CT two days before, you will get a full refund of camping fees, but not reservation fees. For reservation fees it says it charges you $7.50 that's nonrefundable as a reservation fee. So to me that'd mean the actual price per night is refundable? And you'd just miss out on $7.50? I'm not sure... I read it for about 30 seconds just because I was curious.With our work schedule being notoriously all over the place, we’re not in a position to book a year out … unless there’s a generous cancellation/refund policy.
Windows down it is then .My car's AC went out, and I was quoted $1900 to fix it.
The expensive part is the labor. They said it will take 10 hours to complete.Windows down it is then .
Same thing happened to my 2006 Chevy Malibu Maxx (god, I loved that car!) in about 2012, and it would’ve cost $600 to fix it.My car's AC went out, and I was quoted $1900 to fix it.
The parts are about $400. The labor is by far the most expensive. But my other options are not having AC, or getting a new car and paying way more. I drive a 2017 Chevy Impala, so it's not like it's super old. It's also paid off, so I'm going to keep riding it for as long as I can. Especially with the prices of cars and the lack of inventory right now.Same thing happened to my 2006 Chevy Malibu Maxx (god, I loved that car!) in about 2012, and it would’ve cost $600 to fix it.

I don't need a car for anything major until the 18th, when I start summer school. So that gives me a little time. But they have to order parts, and then it will probably be a little while until they can get me in. So hopefully it's done by then.I feel your pain.
I drove around a/c-less for a while and then traded it in for a leased Chevy Cruze. I enjoyed driving that car too. It was my one experience with leasing, I would never do that again.
I'm sure you received plenty of extended maintenance insurance calls on a daily basis. I guess you should have answered the phone.The parts are about $400. The labor is by far the most expensive.

That is so not a thing in Canada. I never got the joke until it was explained to me.I'm sure you received plenty of extended maintenance insurance calls on a daily basis. I guess you should have answered the phone.
