You can save many steps and frustration by putting your RV license tag number and car license tag number in your cell phone address section. We use the Z section because that’s rarely used. YOU’RE THE EXPERTS INSIDE INFORMATION FROM COAST TO COAST MEMBERS What do these people all have in common? • Bonnie and Vance Clegg, Breckenridge Lake Resort • Jim Deorio, Bass Lake Resort—Travel Resorts of America • Gary and Vickie Doramus, Timber Lodge RV Resort • John Van Houten, Scroon River—Adirondack Adventures Each of these Coast to Coast members has shared expert advice in our magazine and earned $25 for their efforts. Their advice ranged from the simple I-wish-I’d-thought-of- that like using a Swiffer Sweeper to clean the outside of the RV, to more challenging tips such as fixing a broken refrigera- tor door handle. Each “aha” moment shared with our mem- bers made life easier for quite a few people and earns you some play money. So put on your thinking cap and jot down your best tips and send them in. Here’s how. Email your tips and accompanying photos or sketches to editor@coastresorts.com. Make sure to include your name, the name of your Coast to Coast home resort, and your mail- ing address. If your tip is selected for publication, you’ll receive $25. Cash is going out this edition to Jerry Vite. His tip is simple but will save you time and energy. GIVE ADVICE; GET $$$
