I see now that they're shipping within a week. When we bought it, it had a 3-month lead time! We then added the Kuat Pivot 2 Swing Away Hitch Extender from etrailer so we can swing the bikes out.

Probably too late to help, but, there is a private campground about a 1/2 hour north (sky high camp resort, near cascade mountain ski resort) and Devils lake state park about 45 minutes NW of madison. The state park usually has a few sites open all winter. There is a KOA south of madison at Milton, but not sure of their status. You might be able to overnight at the university, but, don’t know about that.

If you'all wanna cheap out on insurance, self-insure, other than the required liability for driving on public roads. 🙂 You can also self-insure your home, just like apparently most people in Florida may have to? However, I had a MINOR accident, hitting a patch of ice, went over the sidewalk and struck two landscape rocks with my 2022 Kona N-line. The oil filter mount pad, which is part of the engine block, cracked. Total repair bill was $23,000 CAD. Insurance is cheap. ;-) The summer before, a hailstorm made the car look like a golf ball with a hundred dimples. Paintless dent repair had the car looking new in two days, cost to insurance was $5.000 CAD. A week after buying the car, a rock took out the windshield, cost to insurance was about $2,000 CAD.

Agreed... Insurance is cheaper if you have a bigger accident. And with us being full-time on the road, our chances of getting into an accident are higher. Our vehicle is paid off, but we still keep comprehensive coverage so we won't have to pay for it all again. It's just annoying we have to pay commercial insurance rates on a vehicle that is only for personal use. *sigh*

Insurance is exhausting. They make it a science to not cover or cover as little as possible yet continue to raise your policy like clock work every 6 months. I recall in the mid 1970’s the insurance industry was pushing to make auto insurance mandatory and the spin was it would be so so so cheap if everyone had to pay. We know now they have us by the throat. Now apartment renters have mandatory renters insurance. What will be mandatory next? Maybe the can come up with having only quarterly policies so they can raise your prices 4 times a year 😂

Awesome content and thank you very much for sharing. We have a truck camper and an F350 which was originally insured through Allstate. Last year while wintering in Florida as we do annually for 6 months I contacted my agent from Allstate and asked him if our TC and truck were insured under a number of different scenarios. One of those scenarios included being uncoupled. He got back to me and informed that we were not insured in that scenario. Consequently a division of Allstate - National General was recommended by the agent. NG underwrote the TC for all the scenarios we figured we would need in the event of a loss. So in the end the cost for an annual policy for just the truck camper with an agreed value of $35k was ~$500/year. Our truck is still insured - non commercial through Allstate for ~$2000/year full coverage. 2021 F350 DRW CC LB 6.7L Power Stroke.

But the fear of damage is real. And the awning caps are basically tree fodder - we gave up replacing them and just duct tape them together 😄. If I was going to put one on my rig that didn't have one, I'd probably look for one that can be angled downward. These electric ones just go out and back.
