Traveling to LA/Glendale area. Need advice, see details.?
Is there a better (less busy) airport other than LAX? I saw Bob Hope airport, but that's more expensive. Is it worth the expense? If I fly into LAX, can public transportation be counted on for traveling to and around Glendale, or do I need to rent a car? Advice on best driving route from LAX to Glendale? How to avoid the worst traffic? (Am completely unfamiliar with the area... any advice is greatly appreciated!)

There is plenty of public transportation from LAX. Go to Los Angeles Metropolitan Transit web site for buses and trains.

Burbank (bob Hope) is very close to Glendale and its sometimes flights to there are cheaper (depending on what airline you are (in fact there's one airline thats charges only $10!(to Columbus) (well you do have to pay for checking luggage and food (plus taxes) if you have to Land at Lax, its quite easy to get to Glendale you can board the flyway bus to Union station then board a metrolink or Amtrak train for a quick 8 minute hop to Glendale Glendale also has their own transit system,(which incidentally you can track online! it will tell you when the next bus is due) see http://www.glendalebeeline.com/ http://www.metrolinktrains.com if you use Bob Hope you could also use eater Amtrak or Metrolink to Glendale as well (thees a station just outside the airport also one neat thing about this Burbank/Glendale/Lax corridor you can buy a metrolink ticket and its valid for ANY TRAIN ( either Amtrak or Metrolink (its valid for only Burbank-Glendale -Lax (union station) route

Burbank airport is close to Glendale. It may cost more, but it might be worth it as you may save on transportation to and from. Sure, it's theoretically possible to take PT around LA. But everything is so spread out, it's gets really, really inconvenient. As for avoiding the traffic, the only way to do that is stay home. Enjoy. If you are sight-seeing, you really need a car for most places. From LAX take the 405 north to the 101 freeway east, I think. The signs say Ventura one one and Los Angeles the other way. Take the Los Angeles one. I know it's counter intuitive, welcome to LA. Take the 101 to the 134 and exit where ever you need to go. Confirm all this with a map, please. I'm working from memory.

I live in Glendale and I say take the risk to pay more, because lax is a hour away from Glendale

I would fly into Burbank..LAX is way too crowded, and choatic and you will have to pay the extra to get to Glendale anyway. You will be able to get to Glendale much easier from Burbank. You might want to rent a car...public transit here sucks!!! It will take you hours to get anywhere!

If you're going to Glendale, fly into BURBANK airport. It's very close to Glendale, and you could even get a shuttle back for around $20.00. It shouldn't be that much more expensive than LAX. If you have to fly into LAX, just get a shuttle to Glendale. Or you could take their train line to Union Station, and take the Goldline to Pasadena, and then take a bus from Pasadena to Glendale (Glendale is right next to Pasadena --20 minute bus ride only). But in general, just get one of the airport shuttles. They are not that pricey. Count on spending about $20.00 plus a $4.00 tip. Seriously though, if you fly into Burbank, you'll be set, cause that's the town right next to Glendale. Depending on where you're moving to in Glendale, it could be as little as like 5-10 minutes away! Burbank airport is smaller and more friendly and easier to get around in, too. Don't worry though, people at LAX will help you out if you get confused. Same with Burbank airport. L.A. might seem scary, but people will totally help you. So don't worry and good luck

About Is it safe to use propane for travel trailer

Is it safe to use propane for travel trailer?
I recently was given a 1973 Glendale travel trailer, it is now parked in my park of choice and will be used as a getaway in the summer etc. My one Uncle is telling me it's not worth the safety risk (leaks & possible explosion) to use the propane system the trailer comes with (pretty sure it's all in good shape), and to just use a space heater on cold nights and use the park's solar showers. My other Uncle is saying the propane is safe to use (he's a natural handyman who will check my system out for me) and that it's much easier to use for cooking, furnace, water heater etc and with very little risks. I'm very scared of "going boom" and am unsure if I want to use the propane. I would greatly appreciate everyone's opinons/answers on whether or not we should use propane for the trailer. Thanks for the answers so far. I'm still a bit nervous because a trailer at the same park blew up in the past. It was a school bus that had been converted, I don't know the details exactly (I'm guessing something was faulty), but that is why I'm apprehensive about propane.

Have your uncle check the complete system for leaks and check the exhaust of all appliances. Don't worry, I live in travel trailers 8 months a year for work, you will love it and upgrade. good luck.
2 :
People use their propane all the time, Have your Uncle check it out and use it.

I'm scared of the explosion risk myself, plus cooking on gas appliances sucks in my opinion, cakes, biscuits burn on bottom yet don't cook too good on top, cooking times on packaging won't work since it does it so quickly, and water boils from mac n cheese or soups (evaporates, because turning down gas RV stove puts the flame out but hisses instead of varying properly) The thing i don't like most is the risk of CO poisoning from the furnace, the amount of gas used is costly, plus even today's RVs (and esp those built in the 1970s) use matches to light. ever since my great grandmom had her Hotpoint blow up from simply trying to light the oven i haven't felt confident to throw matches at gas-anything. I would either avoid winter camping (winters here are too cold to use propane anyways it gets into single digits and propane gets eaten alive in a day or two) or try using a safe heater to heat with and turn it off during the day or when you're out. my travel trailer caught fire because i left a heater on to keep it warm as i left, but i don't understand how but the risk is there both ways. but it's better than exploding. Or use gas stoves outdoors, like propane camp stoves that way if it blows it won't destroy everything. plus there's more air to ventilate with outside, no risk of CO poisoning

As someone who has been in the propane business for 20 years, let me say this..If propane wasn't a safe fuel to use, we wouldn't have it in homes, RV's or anywhere else! Propane is a safe, economical fuel! Just like a lot of other things people get hurt using, or are dissatisfied with, it is usually due to a lack of proper understanding and especially RESPECT. You don't need to be afraid of propane, but you better give it the RESPECT it deserves or you will have problems! First of all...No offence to your Uncle, but have a professional inspect the entire system before you use it. They are trained and know exactly what they are looking at. They will use specialized tools to verify that the correct gas pressure is going to each appliance and they are burning correctly. You should have a CO detector in any space, house or RV, where a fuel burning appliance is, to be sure you are safe. If the system is properly inspected and maintained in good order you will not go BOOM! Enjoy your RV and your Getaways

I will probably sound philosophical but it depends on what you count as cheapest. I'm reminded of the fellow that took such big steps to save his $10 shoes that he split his $20 pants. Examples: walking is cheap but you have to eat and sleep. Do you not count that? A car can cost just gas, but do you also consider the cost of owning a car at over 30 cents per mile? If you hitchhike you still have to sleep and eat for several days. If you can find a cheap airfare, you can avoid needing to buy expensive food or finding a place to sleep. But that means avoiding airport food. I would guess trains don't get you close enough on either end. A bus is probably the cheapest way if you book ahead. You will have to sleep on the bus, deal with transfers, and to save money take food with you. You can pack things like crackers, cheese and peanut butter sandwiches which will last a few days. Try http://www.greyhound.com seven day advance purchase is $99 and a bus leaves Aiken at about 7:30pm and arrives in AZ about 2 days later at 5pm. You would spend 2 nights on the bus and need 2 days of food

Your looking around 5-6 hours!

it is 345 miles to gc from 2son az it will take you 5 hr and 31 min. least that is what map quest tells me.
3 :
6 to 6.5 hours depending on how many times you stop for gas and to eat.
4 :
You really are looking at 5-6 hours depending on traffic in the Phoenix area. Make sure you look to your left to see the Sedona Red Rocks as you go up the I-17.
5 :
About 6 hours. It's a pretty boring ride until you get past Phoenix, then it's get's interesting. Very "mountainy" and scenic. You definitely need to have both hands on the wheel at that point. I just went that way last week. ( to the Grand Canyon from Tucson )
