We’re at the AF Academy RV Park for the next couple days. Our second time here. We asked for satellite friendly sites both times, first one failed. Today they admitted they haven’t checked satellite reception for over 5 years. No satellite, no wifi but we love it here. This is Site #66, probably the prettiest site we’ve been in but a bit of a challenge to back in to while dodging trees. I scored an 85. I kissed the tree near the door on my first attempt with the exhaust tip (why didn’t I change the setting on my new camera from hitch view when in reverse?). Rather that tour the Academy leisurely tomorrow I will be looking for a new exhaust tip!

Really like that famcamp. Lots of trains run right by it.

Thankfully an easy plug and play fix without having to go to a body shop.

Why not take it off and try pounding it back into shape?
I am surprised given the shape it is in now, it did not do more damage inward with other components.
P.S. I’m jealous of your fishing prowess.

I sent the pics of the tip to Spartan. They said there isn’t an actual restriction and shouldn’t pose a problem driving. I will try a couple ways to open it a little more before we head out.

Fishing - Thanks! I can’t wait to get back up to fast, cold water!

We go to that campground often. I can get a satellite signal about 10% of the time but it is in our top 10 favs. Watch for the black squirrels with long furry ears.

Black, long-eared squirrels.

My wife is intrigued by them! I’ve seen the before but she never has. I forgot about them and thought the first one we saw was a rabbit. I don’t recall where I’ve seen them previously.
