Postal Code at US Pumps: Sheila, could you please update me on how this situation plays out these days? T e
method explained in past RVT pages has been very helpful in past trips to the States when the postal code is needed at the pump (and of course the format is diff erent for Canadian codes). So now, Maggie and I are headed south again with a new civic address and code (V8A
0E5) and we have forgotten the trick. Can you help us remember that one? We still love the magazine and eagerly await each issue.

Nick, I’d love to help out. You are referring to the trick where you take just the Numbers from
your postal code and add two zeros at the end. So your V8A 0E5 becomes 80500. Hope you have a great time!

Aff ordable Camping in Canada: My wife and I (pensioners) are planning a trip to Ontario this August. We have a small
older motorhome and are hoping to fi nd a clean pet-friendly campground with good showers and 15/30-amp service and water in the Kitchener-Waterloo to Stratford area of Ontario. Is it possible to camp for say $25–$30 per night? We will be travelling from BC across the Prairies, and spending about two to three
weeks in Ontario to visit family. Is there anyone out there who can e-mail me any comments or suggestions? T ey would be greatly appreciated.

Mice: I have heard mothballs are good for
keeping mice away from your RV, but what my son and I do in our RVs and collector cars is to put laundry soap around. Any kind will do but the powdered stuff works best and leaves a nice smell inside the vehicle. We put the soap in small open containers and place them wherever we want.

Helpful Tip: Here is a helpful tip for all those planning
to put a safety strap on their awnings. First, put your awning out part way. Fasten a heavy-duty spring clamp to
each end of the awning at the top and place your tie-down strap behind the clamps. Finish putting up the awning and then
adjust the tie-down strap to the right tension. T is will prevent the strap from slipping off the awning. I was going to make brackets with a
pin to hold the strap, but the clamps do just fi ne.
