Pre covid they weren't the best and now they're really bad! But when you step-up to a class A that's in the $300,000 range I expect it to be near perfect. Not 3/4" MDF wobbly tables, loose cabinet hinges, all the knobs and pulls were loose and a bath door that doesn't catch the striker plate and you can push right through the door stop. :facepalm:

I know most don't know/see these things but boy, they're in for a huge surprise once they buy one. There were only a handful of travel trailers and as expected they were the same or worse. They only had some Winnebago Mirco Mini's, a few Jayco and 3-4 Sundance. Most were bunkhouse models (which we weren't interested in) but just looking at the build quality reminded me when we did a HUD housing project back in the late 80's. :surprised::shock:
Two of my neighbors bought new RV's. One a class A and one a class C. Both have been in for warranty work more than they have been used. Waste of money for them.

Ranger took me to Graves Propane to refill the bottle for our grill before dinner tonight of dead chicken on the Barbie....

Best,
Phil

Decided that if the red oak will not grow from acorn it will grow anyhow and drove to garden shop and bough 150-200cm red oak. Later on the evening drove to the forest and planted it.

Walked around and observed that some of the black walnuts have grown new growth from the root and are again growing happily. I think I'm down to 6-7 from the original 25 so the surviving will be "Grown Ford tough" :)

"Dead" populus nigra (black poplar?) has also some new root growth, same with Ulmus glabra (Scots Elm), multitude of english oak (querus robur) seedlings and even growth on corylus colurna (turkish hazel). Chestnuts & gingkos seem to be permanently dead.

Also ordered 10 tilia cordata (small leaved lime/linden) and going to drop them somewhere when they arrive.

We got a pretty good view of the Sawtooth range.

Awesome shot Trent. Sawtooth range is one of my favorites and the view from Galena Summit is amazing.

Were you in the Ross Fork fire area?
