Hi, welcome to the group. I'm just South of you in North Dakota. Lots of good info here. I was camping in East Grand Forks, Mn. last weekend and met a family with an Escape there who were from your area. Had a nice visit.

Yes Metro Trailers in Winnipeg is a great place with knowledgeable trailer people and they also manufacture brand new frames for Bolers!

My Boy Scouts and I stayed in Winnipeg in 1998 on our way to the Bissett High Adventure Base. I want to come back and see it again! It was the greatest place with the nicest people.
