Hi guys. Has anyone figured out the best tire pressure for mileage cost? I have a 93 dolphin weighted out for a 7 month trip. thanks!

Thank you very much for the link, that gave me exactly the info I needed!

Thanks Wayne, we live in Canada as well, but It's actually an iPad we want to use so we would need a data plan rather than a standard phone.

Hi All We are planning a trip around N. America and would like to use our ipad with a data plan. We don't have a cellular plan of any kind now and are not very knowledgable about our options. We would like to avoid a contract and pay as we go. If we went with an American provider like Verizon, is coverage included across america? Does roaming apply? I assume we'll need a SIM card, but we don't want our device locked. Any advice or shared experience is greatly appreciated!

We have an ipad, I assume that will work the same as an iphone?

I love maps as well and hope to impart that to my daughter!

Hey Andrew. Thanks for the tip. Our trip takes us from Whitehorse down to Pr. Rupert BC where we'll take a ferry to the northern tip of Vancouver Island to tour for a week, then to Vancouver to visit family. From there down the pacific coast from Pt Townsend WA to San Diego, zigzagging across the central / southern states to Key West, then up the east coast to the Maritimes and back across Canada. So far our daughter is a great traveller but we don't know what to expect on such a long trip. We have the luxury of being able to take our time so I'm sure it will be great.

I agree that there's no substitute for a paper map when planning or travelling but a good GPS is the best tool you can have when looking for an address or service in an unfamiliar city.

Hi All We're new to the forum. We recently picked up a 93 Dolphin that we're almost finished remodelling for a 9 month tour of N. America (starting from the Yukon) with our 5 month old baby girl. My question is regarding GPS. Seeing as the unit is mounted on the dash or windshield under the overhang for the master bed, is there any problems with satellite reception? Is an external antannae needed to mount on the roof? If anybody has any reviews of GPS units they've been happy or frustrated with (or any other tips in general) we'd love to hear about it. Thanks!
