Sold my sons last dirt bike in 3 days too -priced it fair - took $200.00 less - wanted it gone. guy showed up - looked at it - started it up - said we're good. That was it

I sold an 8 foot box popup last summer that weighed in at just over 1000 dry. A guy working in BC sent his father from elliot lake to owen sound for pick it up. From the time I posted it till he got here I had well over 100 replies. It was insane. I listed one of my boats yesterday and it was sold in ten minutes by a fella from parry sound. Didnt want a water test, didnt want to see it run on muffs. Just pulled the cover off threw it in the truck and left. I guess folks are willing to travel for a good deal. I dont like sitting on things I'm selling, just want em gone.

Yup

I said 2.30 a few weeks ago by July and I got everything thrown at me for that. 🤣 government behind it they want gas vehicles off the road and into electrics.

$2.00 a litre regular gas coming soon. the fire sale will follow in behind that

Yes some pop up campers maybe that price but There are a number of manufacturers selling your standard type travel trailers in smaller configurations aimed at the smaller tow vehicle and budget crowd. Some of these trailers may only be 7’ wide single axle now also. I have seen many of these on road in last couple years How many families have an SUV? Now they can camp. How many times have comments on this page stated sled manufacturers need a low priced entry level sled?. Camping trailer manufacturers are at that point.

A tent trailer is around 26,000. A nice hard top side one where ends just fold out and you have access to most of trailer when ends are folded in is around 45,000 ish depending on options. Those have full size fridges and stoves and nicer washroom. Motor homes are closer to quarter million dollars now 🤣.

Most are $20 - 50,000 I believe. Some higher priced. A lot of smaller SUV towable

Good luck. Maybe you find someone willing to sell with increasing fuel prices. Volume of those motor homes is allot less then trailers. They defiantly hold value pretty good these days. You want to go to Florida too and camp out in Walmart parking lots along the way. My buddy always did that. He joked he saved enough on camp sites to cover a portion of fuel bill 😀.

Looking for a c class moter home. They sure not fallen yet..

Whats considered "lower price" trailers? Im trying to sell mine with zero luck currently ..

A buddy of mine sells lower priced camper trailers. They are selling units like crazy. He has been there since mid January and cannot believe the volume of trailers they have moved.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/new-rv-sales-down-1.7168266 Applies to sleds too - add in that the activity is 100% weather dependent............ Big time market correction on the way.

You guys up there basically had no winter season,how very sad . Good thing you also have summer toys.😃

Maybe researching crime rates or checking websites to find out how dangerous the city you are planning to visit is and enjoy your holidays is a good idea, especially if you're unfamiliar with the area. Does anyone have a favourite resource they use to research travel safety? Or maybe any tips for staying safe on a road trip in general? Hearing from folks who've done the Gaspe trip before would be especially helpful! Thanks!

It's official, river ice is gone. Ski

Ah! I forgot that the Hornepayne / Hearst trail goes to Mooseland first these days. I haven't been on the new trail yet. .

Blue bird day today. River ice is breaking apart, lots of warm temps coming. Apple friiters are being made in Batchawana at the Voyager now... Smelt and spring are coming. Ski

With all that said, your best bet unless dead set on Longlac is... Wawa to Hearst, and over night. Then stay in the Hearst area a few days riding the local loops (they have a bunch of good day riding), then back to Wawa the same way. Without Halfway Haven it is really a fuel mileage crapshoot if you can loop from Hearst to Timmins (225 miles), Timmins to Chapleau 175 miles, Chapleau to where Halfway was (60 miles), with no fuel, services and back to Wawa from there (75-80 trail miles). Keep us posted on your trip, many of us can help you decide, and give info. Good luck! Ski

Wawa to Dubreuilville is roughly 55-60 miles depending on route. Dub to Hornepayne is 100 miles. Hornepayne to Hwy 11 (where Mooseland/Bambino's Truck Stop was) is approx 60 miles no services). You can then go East into Hearst about 40 miles (The opposite way to Longlac area), and overnight. Or Head west to Longlac which would be approx 107 miles at the hwy11 corner. From Hearst to Longlac is 162 miles. This year as Nunz stated, there was a new place to get fuel at the Pagawa River. Once in Longlac, you can go to Geraldton and the Greenstone loop or, you will have to deadhead back the way you came, as the trail goes to Caramat but, does not go to Manitouwadge any longer. You cant go from Wawa to Dub, to White river, then to Manitouwadge to Longlac like we used to (pre 2008ish). The trail system is broken up, further to the west and north. Not everything is connected. Depending on the snow, and the condition of the roads, you could possibly make it from Caramat to Manitouwadge but, you would be at the mercy of the Industrial road, which depending on the status, could be plowed tight, and sanded, or could have 3 feet of powder on it. If it is not plowed, it could eat a lot of fuel before you got to Mani. The last time we did that route, we went Geraldton to Hillsport (105 miles), then on to Mani (another 40). Without the detour to Hillsport it is approx 60 miles from Caramat to Mani. So, approx 90-100 miles of road/trail, no fuel, no services, no trail, plan accordingly. The trail has been taken back over by nature, from Caramat to Mani, that isnt even an option now. If they open the new motel in Hornepayne this fall, you "could" ride wawa to Hornepayne, and over night. then Hornepayne to Longlac, and over night. Do the greenstone loop, and over night, then head back. If the motel doesnt open, you could ride wawa to hearst (approx 250 miles), and over night, then on to Longlac the next day. Good luck. Ski

Trail stops in Manitouwadge. They haven't re opened rest yet. Hopefully in near future it would make a nice loop again for riders in wawa, dub hornepayne area's. On bucket list if it ever re opens 😎.

There’s a person selling gas at the big river on the A trail on west side of the bridge. Limited hours though. West of Mooseland

.

Thanks for the replays. We would be coming up from Wawa. Is there gas between Hornepayne & Longlac? Thanks Yamirider

Doo you mean Hearst to longlac? Yeah, that's 150 miles or so. Otherwise Manitouwadge is in the middle, so no issue. I think that you can make it from Manitouwadge up to Longlac on one tank. We was able to git gas in Caramat as we were headed back east to Hearst and I don't think that we have ever been on the short stretch east of Longlac? Hard to say if Caramat is open anymore tho. ??? .
