Wally Byam Caravan Club International, a club for owners of Airstream campers including our B-vans. Here is their website. I've gone to a couple rallies with the Washington, DC unit and have had a pretty good time.

I do, and I'm kind of torn on whether it's worthwhile. You can get discounts at campgrounds with it, but usually those same campgrounds offer discounts via AAA. I get a lot of junk mail from Good Sam, though - mostly offers to get an extended service plan on my B-van, which is isn't even eligible for because it's too old.

I'm not sure how they mounted them but our campers were built with solar panels in mind; the wiring is already there for them (take a look in the gallery, in my pictures). I'd mount them right in front of the air conditioner if I were doing it.

I have a laptop with wireless. These days, just about any card will work if you're retrofitting an older laptop. If you're buying a new laptop, if you get one with wireless built in you won't have to worry about buying and storing a separate card.

I am an AAA member. When my transmission died last year, the tow for the camper and my car (which I was towing with the camper) was about $100. AAA + RV service is about $120/year, I think. But the convenience of having it and knowing where to call if you do have a problem more than makes up for the expense. I wouldn't travel without it.

That will vary from park to park - I'm sure some do offer discounts but not all of them. And the discounts they offer may be equivalent to AAA/Good Sam/etc. anyway.

shalom and thanks;

this should keep me busy for a few days.
