I’ve had this GPS for about a week and overall I’m happy. The display is nice and bright and easy to see in the sunlight. Using this device in portrait mode makes a lot of sense because you are typically more interested in what is in front of you rather than on the side of you. Information on the display is well thought out and very usable.

The GPS is super simple to use with a very logical user interface, and the POI coverage is pretty good. I typed in a few obscure places and if found them all.

The one thing that is a little screwy has to do with re-routing. As a test, I programmed an address and selected a route that was a shorter distance but a longer travel time by 10 minutes (1:30 travel time). But instead of following the GPS directions, I drove a route that I was familiar with (1:20 travel time). The 2455 kept trying to get me back on to the route I originally chose even when I was at a location 1 hr from my destination and the re-routing would have taken 1:30. I would have expected the GPS to choose the route that I was traveling on when the time and distance became shorter than the re-route but that was not the case.

Overall I’m happy with the GPS. I’m just not sure about the re-routing logic.

The suitcase is perfect size for a carry-on. It has a reasonable amount of pockets. The fact that it is expandable helps and I even got away with it at the airport when it was expanded and filled up and no one said anything about it being oversized, because it doesn’t look like it is, even though it gives you plenty of space on the inside. I only used the suitcase once so far, and I haven’t used the bag. On my way back I noticed that the suitcase wiggled a little from side to side, but I don’t think it was the problem with the wheels, I think I was just going too fast. The green color is very pretty too

The campsite you choose is your home away from home. It should be a clean, safe place that is devoid of any debris or low-hanging limbs. And, choosing a site that is flat and level makes it easier to set up camp and park your RV.

Once you’ve chosen the perfect campsite, there are a few safety precautions to keep in mind while setting up camp. The following tips can go a long way to ensure that you and your family have a memorable camping experience.

• Check for potential hazards. Be sure to check the site thoroughly for glass, sharp objects, branches, large ant beds, poison ivy, bees and hazardous terrain.

• Inspect the site. Look for a level site with enough room to spread out all your gear. Also, a site that has trees or shrubs on the side of prevailing winds will help block strong, unexpected gusts.

• Build fires in a safe area. Your open fires and fuel-burning appliances must be far enough away from the tent to prevent ignition from sparks, flames and heat. Never use a flame or any other heating device inside a tent. Use a flashlight or battery-powered light instead.

• Make sure your fires are always attended. Be sure you have an area for a fire that cannot spread laterally or vertically – a grill or stone surface is ideal. When putting the fire out, drown it with water, making sure all embers, coals and sticks are wet.

• Dispose of trash properly. Remember to recycle – use the proper recycling bins if available.

• Watch out for bugs. Avoid attracting stinging insects by wearing light-colored clothing and avoiding perfumes or colognes.

• Beware when encountering wildlife. To ward off bears, keep your campsite clean, and do not leave food, garbage, coolers, cooking equipment or utensils out in the open. Remember that bears are potentially dangerous and unpredictable – never feed or approach a bear. Use a flashlight at night – many animals feed at night and the use of a flashlight may warn them away.

• Beware of poisonous plants. Familiarize yourself with any dangerous plants that are common to the area. If you come into contact with a poisonous plant, immediately rinse the affected area with water and apply a soothing lotion, such as calamine, to the affected area.

“You get what you pay for!” That was Fred’s response when I let slip at dinner that we were paying $335 less than he and Kate were for RV insurance. Iris and I have known the Smiths for years. Now full-time RVers, Good Sam VIP seemed perfect for our new lifestyle.

The first 97 miles to our Vermont campsite that evening were uneventful. Iris said, “There’s the park entrance. Turn here.” Now we were on a dark, winding, forested lane. I glanced down to check our speed and Iris shouted a warning.
There was no stopping in time. Thick, low-hanging branches whacked the coach hard as I struggled to get her back on the road. We shuddered to a stop. Silence.

As we pulled into the campground, Iris called Good Sam VIP about our broken satellite dish. The friendly claims agent promised us a full replacement under our permanent attachments coverage.

We certainly got what we paid for!
