    Interstate batteries...

    I’ve been a loyal customer for as long as I can remember... this fall I grabbed a pair from Costco... they have their own warranty program that is leaving me stranded.

    Paint or wrap

    I bought an older 2008 camper through a friend. When I bought it he was like painting it would be no big deal. Now he’s saying I should look into a wrap as painting would be expensive... anyone have experience with a wrap. Would it hold up in the Arizona sun??

    Another Minnesnowtan done with the pains of winter.

    I’m pushing 65 and this fall I plan to hit the road. I live in northern Minnesota on the iron range. My passion was canoe tripping in wild places. The last few years I’ve experienced a number of health issues that tries to bring me down it seems. This year in the middle of trying to build a new...
