Airstream
Dad towed another Airstream so I drove all the way. For a couple of hours, I drove a new
Lincoln Mark V with black pearl coat paint towing another 31’. The Pontiac had more
power and had a little better mileage but the Lincoln was quiet and smooth. Not likely by
today’s standards. At the time I remember being impressed.

We travelled on the I-77 Northbound. The Intrepid was our first tow vehicle with four

stance longer wheelbase and firm suspension also made it very stable.

Even though the Hemi did not climb Jellico any faster than the 1994 454, it easily outperformed it the rest of the time partly due to the wider powerband in the Hemi and partly due
to having an extra gear to work with.

CENTER LINE™ Active Sway Control… New Technology in Weight Distribution Towing.
Weight distribution hitches were introduced more than forty years ago, and not much has changed until now. CENTER LINE,
the industry’s first self-centering sway control system, employs compression cylinder technology to counteract trailer sway
before it ever begins. The result is the smoothest, safest towing system on the market today. So bring on the cross winds,
truck traffic, ruts and curves… Husky may be an old dog, but CENTER LINE is his new trick.
RUGGED IS STANDARD EQUIPMENT.
Husky manufactures a comprehensive offering of innovative, leading technology
towing products including 5th Wheel Hitches, Brute Power Jacks, and the Husky
10 Composite Glider, all designed to enhance your towing experience.

2013 GMC
Sierra Denali HD
T
he distinctive 2013 Sierra
Denali HD models blend
heavy-duty capability with
distinctive style and luxury appointments and include many new and
revised features. A number of previously optional features are now
standard, such as a Denali-specific
chrome grille that makes the truck
instantly recognizable. Additional
chrome trim and body-colour bumpers further distinguish it. Sierra
Denali also offers a unique combination of interior style and luxury, including an exclusive leatherwrapped and heated steering wheel
featuring wood-grain accents, and
12-way power-adjustable front seats
with standard nuance perforated
leather-appointed that can be heated
and cooled. A Bluetooth phone package is now standard on all models,
and a hard-drive navigation radio
with CD/DVD and USB port features
is now available.
Denali models feature a unique
center console, enhanced interior
bright work and detailed, highly finished embossed sill plates. The center
console has wood grain trim and a lid
that conceals the cup holders, creating
a more finished and refined appearance. Dual-zone automatic climate
control is standard with an auto-dimming rearview mirror on 2500 Denali
HD and 3500HD Denali models.
Standard features on the new
Denali 2500HD and 3500HD
include an auto-dimming rearview
mirror, power-adjustable pedals,
remote vehicle starter, two auxiliary 12-volt power outlets that are
mounted on the instrument panel,
and front recovery hooks.
Denali crew cab models have an
optional power-operated rear sliding
window, and a power-operated sunroof, but this feature is not available
on extended cab models
The 3500 HD Denali with dual rear
wheels has seventeen-inch forged polished aluminum wheels and these are
available on the SLT models that have
dual rear wheels. Eighteen-inch forged
polished aluminum wheels are standard
on 2500HD Denali models and 20-inch
forged polished aluminum wheels are
available on 2500HD Denali.
New exterior colour choices include Sonoma Red Metallic
and Heritage Blue Metallic, which
replaces the Midnight Blue. Other
choices are Onyx Black, Mocha Steel
Metallic, Stealth Grey Metallic, Steel
Grey Metallic, Summit White, Fire
Red, and Quicksilver Metallic.
Sierra Denali HD models are
offered exclusively in the crew cab
body style, in regular- and long-box
configurations and in 2WD and 4WD.
The Duramax diesel/Allison 1000
powertrain is available across the
board. Sierra HD models are designed
to be comfortable and convenient
while on the job, with features that
include 170-degree-opening rear
access doors on extended cab models
and numerous storage compartments
that provide covered access for everything from work gloves to laptops.
Choose Your Power
A Vortec 6.0L gas V-8 engine
with variable valve timing is matched
with the Hydra-Matic 6L90 six-speed
automatic transmission as the standard powertrain across the Sierra
HD model range. This combination delivers excellent performance
and efficiency, with an emphasis on
low-rpm performance. This year,
the Vortec 6.0L V8 SFI engine can
be ordered powered by Compressed
Natural Gas.
For diesel performance, the 6.6L
Duramax diesel glow plugs take no
more than three seconds to warm
up in temperatures as low as -29 C
(-20 F) so that in cold weather it provides a starting time on par with gas
engines. The engine uses a high pressure piezo-activated fuel system for
greater efficiency and improved performance with reduced emissions,
developing 397 horsepower at 3000
rpm and delivers 765 pounds-feet
of torque at 1,600 rpm for greater
ability to pull your trailer up hills.

RV TIPS
The standard class 5 trailer hitch is designed
for great towing ability.
The combination of the 6.6L diesel
and Allison 1000 six-speed automatic
transmission powertrain is available
on all 2500HD and 3500HD models
The transmission features driver shift
control with tap up/tap down shifting
and a patented elevated idle mode cab
warm-up feature. Also, the tow/haul
mode reduces shift cycling for better
control and improved cooling when
towing or hauling heavy loads.
The 6.6L diesel engine uses
Selective Catalytic Reduction aftertreatment system with diesel exhaust
fluid (DEF) injection to provide
the best overall diesel characteris-
tics and performance. You can drive
about 8,000 kilometers (5,000 miles)
between DEF refills. Combustion and
after-treatment have been optimized
to provide about 1,125 km (700 miles)
between diesel particulate filter regenerations – a 75-percent improvement
over the previous system and signifi-

cant contributor to improved fuel efficiency, as the regeneration process
requires additional fuel.
Fine-Tune your Ride
All Sierra HD models feature fully
boxed frame assemblies. Redesigned
last year, the frames have reinforced
cross sections and use more highstrength steel for greater durability,
higher towing capacity and improved
ride and handling. The front sections
are hydroformed.
Five different torsion bar rates support five different front gross axle
weight ratings with short-long arm/
torsion bar front suspension featuring
forged steel upper control arms and precision-machined cast iron lower control
arms help stabilize the range of trim
heights of various models under load,
while enhancing appearance, handling,
durability, tire wear and alignment. The
trim height can be adjusted on each bar
via a single bolt. The upper shock mount
attachment design is positively connected to the frame with two fasteners,
eliminating squeaks and clunks, while
supporting higher load capability and
increased durability.
Asymmetrical leaf-spring design
minimizes axle hop and enhances
traction control efficiency, with twostage leaf-spring design on 2500HD
models and three-stage design on
3500HD model. All models feature
3-inch-wide (76 mm) leaf springs.
Four-wheel disc brakes with hydroboost are standard on all models, with
four-wheel, four-channel ABS standard on all single-rear-wheel models
and a three-channel system is standard on dual-rear-wheel models.
Tow Your Toys
The Heavy Duty Trailering package with integrated brake controller and
Eaton automatic locking differential
are now standard on all Sierra 3500HD
models. With a crew cab/long box and
6.6L engine you can tow a fifth-wheel
trailer of up to 10,432 kilograms (23,000
lbs), and you can tow a conventional
travel trailer of up to 8,164 kilograms
(18,000 lbs) with the box-tube designed
frame-mounted hitch . Heated outside
and power-adjustable vertical camperstyle mirrors with turn signal indicators
are available on 2500HD Denali and
standard on 3500HD Denali models.
When you are stopped on a hill of
five percent or greater, sensors automatically engage the hill start system to
hold the brakes for 1.5 seconds, or until
you press the gas pedal to give you
time to switch from the brake pedal to
the gas pedal without rolling back.
The standard exhaust brake system allows you to control the speed
of the truck and heavy trailer when
navigating long downhill grades
without the fear of the brakes overheating and fading. Trailer sway can
unnerve any driver when towing a
large trailer. Sensors detect any sway
and intervene with braking and/or
reduced engine power to bring the
trailer under control and keep it on its
intended path quickly.
Denali is the designation that
General Motors gives to the top-ofthe-line models that reflect GMC’s
loftiest engineering and design
achievements and deliver the best
of all worlds to the driver. Whether
you are towing a boat, travel trailer or fifth wheel, the GMC Sierra
Denali will provide the power that
you need to get you to the destination of your choice. Volume 42 Number 1 | RV Lifestyle

California–Here We Come
Experience an
RV adventure of
a lifetime!
The Farmers Market beside CBS Studio.
You never know, you could be eating
lunch beside a Star!
I
n 1952, I was six years old living with my parents in Brampton,
Ontario. While I don’t remember
too much of what went on between my
Mom and Dad, I remember them speaking one night and the following weekend we had a garage sale. Even my stuff
was sold. A few weeks later, myself,
along with suitcases and boxes, were
loaded into our car and we were on our
way to Los Angeles, California.
This was my first road trip to the
Golden State and I remember my Dad
saying that we would be travelling
Route 66. I recall staying in a motel and
all the rooms were teepees. At my age, I
thought this was the way the aboriginals
lived and we might see some cowboys.
I also remember getting off the road
early, as my Dad said “we would have
to travel through the desert at night and
had to buy a water bag to carry on the
outside of the car.
That evening, when we went out to
the car and started it up, there was a
strange noise coming from the engine.
The lady in the motel office told us not
to open the hood and drive it over to
the gas station. The gas station attendant came out with a long stick. He
opened the hood and pulled out a rattle
snake! Believe it or not, it was still
alive – but not for very long. At that
point my Mom was ready to go back to
Canada. But we finally arrived in Los
Angeles and my Mom’s sister lived
there with her husband (Aunt Ruth and
Uncle John) and we stayed with them
for a while.
Now, my Uncle John was an electrician and both my Aunt Ruth and Uncle
John were musicians and played in the
Studio Orchestra at 20th Century Fox.
This is when I learned that my Dad was
going to work with 20 Century Fox
Studio’s Theater division.
There is so much to see
and do in Los Angeles.
“…As a child living in
Los Angeles….one time
I remember John Wayne
was sitting in the living
room with several other
people. I simply said
hello and went out to
play…”
As a six year old, movie stars really
didn’t interest me, unless it was Roy
Rogers. On many weekends, my aunt
and uncle would have guests over at
their house and one time I remember
John Wayne was visiting, sitting in the
living room with several other people. I
simply said hello and went out to play.
My mother, who was raised in a big
family, missed her family a lot and two
years later, we moved back to Ontario.
At that point, I knew that some day I
Remember Norman Bates and the movie Psycho?
would come back to Los Angeles. I
didn’t know at that time I would make
the trip several times in a motorhome,
but I knew I would be back.
When Karen and I formed up
Wagon Trains RV Tours, we decided to
run a caravan to California. One of the
stops would be Los Angeles.
From Ontario, there are several ways
to get to Los Angeles. The easiest way,
without very many high climbs in the
Rocky Mountains, is to cross the border

Wagon MASTERS
at Port Union, Michigan, and take I-69 to Indianapolis,
Indiana. From here, travel west on I-70 to St. Louis,
Missouri, then take I-44 to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. At
Oklahoma City, travel I-40 west to I-15 in California and
take the I-10 to Los Angeles.
As an alternate route, take I-94 to I-80 at Chicago then
continue west (which is the fastest route to San Francisco).
Travel I-80 west to I-76 through Nebraska and travel south to
Denver, Colorado. Then head west on I-70. Now, in Denver,
there is a very steep climb going west on I-70 and not to far
past the first climb you will come to another climb. Follow
I-70 to I-15 and head south to Las Vegas, Nevada. From Las
Vegas, go west on I-15 to I-10 into Los Angeles. Now for
those on the west coast I-5 south from the Canadian Border
takes you to California all the way to Mexico.
For RVers who like adventure, take some back roads
across the Rocky Mountains. Some of the climbs have hairpin turns and when coming down you will have to go into
low gear (good brakes are neccesary). We have travelled
some of these back roads and have had motorhomes in our
caravans overheat and they had to pull over. There are two
books to consider purchasing that can be found truck stops.
The first one is Mountain Directory East and the other is
Mountain Directory West. These books provide information you need when you travel the back roads through the
mountains. When we travel the back roads in the Southwest,
we found Monument Valley, Durango, Four Corners and so
much more. But it is worth taking the back roads through the
Rocky Mountains.
When you plan your trip to Los Angeles make sure to
have plenty of time to explore this city, there is so much to
see and do. There’s Beverley Hills, the Hollywood Walk of
Fame on Hollywood Blvd. and Vine St., Disneyland, Knotts
Berry Farms, Universal Studios and so much more!
If you plan to see a TV Show, like the Tonight Show or
The Price is Right, order tickets early and plan on getting
to the TV station several hours ahead of the taping as they
give out more tickets than they have seats for. We were at
Universal Studios and they were handing out tickets to a
brand new show called Match Game. We went early and got
to see the pilot show and some very well know stars. The
show was on for many years and is into reruns today.
Keep in mind traffic into Los Angeles can be a nightmare
and try to avoid rush hour.

When we planned our Caravan West trip, we would
always come into Los Angeles on the Sunday of the Labour
Day Weekend as it was the best time to travel through Los
Angeles to Anaheim or Newport Beach to the campgrounds.
Also, purchase a map of Los Angeles and know the routes
you are planning on travelling. Be sure to check with the
campgrounds to determine the best way to get to the area
you want to see. The best way to see Los Angeles is via a
bus tour as the drivers know the area and are accustom to
the traffic. I am sure campgrounds can arrange tours for you.
Los Angeles is made up of many counties, so the map will
be a big help.
One last reminder, Los Angeles is known to have earthquakes and we have been there when they have had earth
tremors. When I was six, I experienced an earthquake. I
remember watching the buildings sway back and forth.
Los Angeles is worth the drive but do your homework
first. This can be a drive and adventure of a lifetime. Foot prints and a fist print

DIRECTIONS
Drain the pineapple tidbits. Save the liquid in
a 2-cup measuring cup. Set aside.
In a bowl, combine the brown sugar and
cornstarch. Add enough water to the pineapple juice in the measuring cup to make 2
cups of liquid. Stir the 2 cups of liquid into
the brown sugar and cornstarch. Add the
vinegar and ketchup. Mix well.
Pour the mixture into a wok or deep frying pan over medium heat. Stir constantly
until the mixture thickens and becomes dark
red. Add the red pepper, onion, and pineapple tidbits. Cook and stir until the pepper
and onion become tender, approximately 15
minutes.
Add the shrimp to the wok. Stir in order
to cover each shrimp with the hot liquid.
Cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until the shrimp
are red on the outside with a firm, white
texture on the inside. Do not overcook the
shrimp. Serve over rice with lots of sauce.
