I don't think you could ever go wrong with a Jayco. Loved our TT until my kids outgrew it .....

OK the edit button has decided to flake out for me. I think there is a minimum tongue weight which is most likely 10% of the GVW dry weight. So theoretically you could adjust the tongue weight by lightning the load, but only by so much.

Kind of.....there is no direct answer IMHO. The maximum GVW of the trailer is 7780 and the maximum tongue weight is 780 IF the trailer is loaded optimal

Ouuuch! $650 - $1550 more for the DDP. I knew the DDP was not for us, but I did not realize how much difference there was.

yes, such a vicious cycle, one in which I seem to be caught in as well

I know the standard calculation is 10-15% of dry weight is supposed to be recommended hitch weight, so that is certainly within range. I always use 10% just to be conservative but it does seem high based on my experience. Our previous TT was 6600 pounds dry weight dual axle, no slides and the hitch weight was under 600 pounds. Our new TT is 9945# and has a hitch weight of 940#. Are there front slides on the models you are looking at? Maybe that is adding the additional weight. Hopefully others will chime in.

It is my understanding the "hitch weight" of the TT is the dry weight, meaning no battery, no propane tanks. With a maximum hitch weight of your TV being 910, that tells me the maximum weight it should be pulling is no more than 9100# (10% of total trailer weight should be hitch weight). This leads me to believe you are approaching the maximum weight your TV can handle. I am certainly no expert on this, and this is only my opinion, it is not the amount of weight you can pull, but how quickly you can stop the weight you are pulling. I have witnessed first hand a passenger van towing a large boa

Bump, Rented from Kenny in the past and worked out well. Have reserved a GC from him for our upcoming trip.

is there a down side to being found by Fiends? Oh, and updated the calendar with our arrival and departure dates.

Is there a way to create a roll call to where we could place on the FF calendar when we will be at the Fort? Would like to know who is going to be there when we are/

Alright, CG reservations made. Can you point me in the direction to buy my tickets for the event? Thanks in advance.

I can't seem to find the link for the 2015 Eggtoberfest at Stone Mountain. Does the event take place only on Saturday? What time do the gates Open/Close? Rethinking our schedule that weekend and possibly will drive down early Saturday morning, assuming that if we arrive mid morning we haven't missed too much.

whew! Thanks! That makes the trip report a lot easier to read.

Still a newbie and can't seem to find the definition of INC. I see where someone figured it out but they did not expand any further.

LIKE!

Relaxing outside my camper enjoying the view, meeting new folks as they loop, and sipping on an adult beverage while my DW is spending every waking minute in the park(s). I like to call it my "holding down the fort" while she is taking Disney by storm! LOL

Bourbon Trail? Did someone say Bourbon. Hey Humphrey Bear, maybe we stay here on our next trip to Buffalo Trace :toot:

Seriously? The Best? They could keep the noodles, just bring the potatoes back....and make them an option. I think I should clarify that I do like the noodles, but if I had my preference I would prefer the potatoes. Just sayin'

I wish they would bring their potatoes back in addition to, or in place of, the noodles. Mmmmm, beef would be good also....

O'hana is a MUST DINE for us every trip. Obviously we recommend it, along with a quick lunch at Casey's corner. The Fish n Chips are also a goto lunch for us in Epcot/England, I think the restaurant is named Yorkshire County Fish shop. Our Fastpass reservations are handled by DW, and as soon as the clock strikes midnight on the 60 day out from our arrival she is online nonstop. Glad to hear you are going to Hershey Pa as well, we have friends near there and enjoyed our tour of the Hershey Factory tremendously. Good Luck on the reservations for Be our Guest, they are hard to come by, so the s

I have never done the dining plan. BUT have several friends who have participated, agree with GaDawgFan for us it is not a good deal. The one thing that my friends pointed out though, is that it allowed them to set a maximum out of pocket budget. This kind of made the trip an all inclusive trip, and they knew what the majority of their expenses were going to be ahead of time.

I enjoyed this post from a few days ago. I agree about the pricing and did in fact submit an email as the post suggested and received their standard response email, stating they would take my suggestions "under advisement". http://www.fortfiends.net/forum/topic/14815-email-wdw-about-fort-wilderness-discounts/?hl=%2Bvalue+%2Bresort#entry428946

Go Figure......... :smartass:

Looks great! I kinda like the off color ears in the first one, which gave me an idea about changing the ears to colored bulbs and maybe have different color head for the different seasons. Red Ears /Green Head -Christmas, Red Ear/White Head/Blue Ear- 4th July, and so on..... Thanks for the detailed pics, I guess this will be on my todo list as soon as DW sees it.
