    Old School Hose Clamps Advice

    https://www.princessauto.com/en/hose-clamp-pliers/product/PA0002920951 I have these ones. They work well and they lock so you're not trying to squeeze and maneuver at the same time.

    Country thunder

    BVJ was good like usual. Getting another price increase for next year though. 4 reserved seats. Beside the Center stage row 25 and 1 camp spot in legacy. 2000 for the 4 of us this year. 2500 next year. See an increase the last 3 or 4 times. Almost getting too expensive to justify going.

    I Phone Question

    We used this for both our boys when they were younger before getting them on cell plans. Get individual apple accounts and they can use iMessage as well. Can remember how we did it though. It was a few years back. As for using it as just an ipod, it will work well.

    Is it this challenging to find employees elsewhere?

    Totally agree with this. I have personally been telling our contractors for years they need to hire apprentices. And not just 4th years. They would always tell me that they need experience on all of the projects they are doing and don’t have time to teach. (2019) Said it would bite them in the...

    Interest rates hike reflects ‘unusual’ circumstances

    Bank of Canada’s track record on raising interest rates to lower inflation over the last 60 years has an effect rate of 0%. Unless you take into account the recessions they’ve caused. They completely missed the boat. Should have started this in 2020, 25 basis points at a time.

    Is it this challenging to find employees elsewhere?

    I am sure that there are a lot of industries out there, Trades, Engineering, Service Industry, Hospitality, and Tourism that have plenty of open positions that companies need filled. But I'd bet that a lot of those same employers grossly underpay, or ask for grossly over experienced expectation...

    Is it this challenging to find employees elsewhere?

    I feel this labour shortage is more than just an issue of not enough skilled workers. List form might be easiest to get my point across. - Lack of skilled workers in an employers area. - Lack of proper compensation from an employer. This includes entry lever positions where many employers think...

    Auto-Body recommendations Edmonton Area?

    IMO, I'd check out the Northgate GM Bodyshop (Edmonton). They will work on any make/model. I had my '15 GM 3500 in there to replace both front and rear bumpers and have some paint touchups done. They painted/blended my rear drivers door around the window. Turned out great. Other body shops...

    ABMax, mind if I ask how much you paid and where you picked them up from?

    If you look through past seasons, he has done a cost analysis before. I'm sure that number was higher this year with fuel prices.

    Matt knows about this thread. I sent him a link a while back. He got a chuckle out of it but he probably hasn’t see how big it’s gotten.

    I’ll get some picture and model/sku numbers of my setup for this thread when I make it out to the trailer in the spring. I’m also going to do a solar setup for a buddy that’s got a bumper pull toy hauler with a 3 way fridge in the spring. Think we’ll do a 300 watt solar mppt setup for him with...

    RV Solar Systems

    For a propane fridge and a bit of battery use (with an inverter) you’d prob get away with a smaller 200-300 watt setup but you’ll need to do some math on your energy consumption. Not sure about the 12v fridge as I haven’t looked into how much they draw. I have a 42’ non toy hauler 5er with a...
