    Taking RV to Oshkosh

    Before you drive off the pavement to find a spot, get out and walk that spot and the lane to make sure you are not going into a soft ground spot, you will sink before you know it, put some boards under the wheels to keep from sinking, and use that pink surveyor tape to mark off your spot, bring...
