Adventures in CAMPER SHOPPING!!
tim5055 replied to Jennifer41's topic in Camper Suggestions: from tents to Class A beauties
I love this rule!! Too many times I hear "my friends have done it", " my brother has done it" or "my _______ has done it" (fill in the blank) and it works fine. The damage from towing over your limits can be slow or fast: Slow- The transmission slowly tearing itself apart. Fast- Trying to stop an overweight combination in an emergency situation. It just might not stop! -
Adventures in CAMPER SHOPPING!!
tim5055 replied to Jennifer41's topic in Camper Suggestions: from tents to Class A beauties
Well, if thinking used: Purchasing a Used Pop-Up-Camper Pricing for specific makes and models are different for different areas of the country One good source for pricing information is the NADA Guides. As to the rest, just make sure that you go through the camper, part by part. You should set it up and take it down whole drill - from start to finish with the owner BUT make sure that you do it with them. Inspect roof for any damage or abrasions Check latches and seal for proper seating (recheck this when you close it back) Make sure the lift system is in order and works correctly - let th -
Adventures in CAMPER SHOPPING!!

One of the most confusing areas for anyone considering a new pop-up is the aspect of "what can I tow, and which hitch should I purchase?". Before you go any further, get your vehicle owners manual, and determine what your limits are. Easier said than done! As towing capacities of vehicles are based on several factors including the vehicle frame type (unibody or frame), engine, transmission, rear end gear ratio, tires/load range, engine cooling capacity, transmission cooling capacity, alternator capacity as well as several other things. Woe is the camper who went out and purchased a pop-up -
Golf Cart Batteries
tim5055 replied to Tnvolcamper's topic in General Camping Discussion and Questions
Forget online, the shipping will kill you. I got my last set at a Sam's club, but in many locations BJ's & Costco carry them also. In most states to support recycling, there is a "core" charge that will be refunded when you return the old batteries. Fifure $75 per battery at least. -

New and rental questions

Obviously every one is different (there are 3 sizes of RV A/C units), but I can hang meat in my pop up with the A/C on high. -

Congress ding dong has issues with my gen
tim5055 replied to Beckers's topic in WDW and Disney Park Discussions
Sorry, I don't see this as an area government should be getting into. They are going to track guests within the confines of the Disney property. When it really comes down to it, what "privacy" concerns should I have with that? That someone finds out I like Big Thunder Mountain, but never ride the Tea Cups; that I had a turkey leg for lunch? I can see it now, Department of Commerce park audit police. As it is now, Disney already has most of my personal information in their computers. Name, DOB,cars I drive, camper I own, it goes on and on. Is the government going to investigate that? I ju -
actually, you can. But they have a nice wall,of gun lockers in security (just back stage off Main Street) and ask that you check them in. I actually have a safe bolted through the floor of the camper,so we can secure items while we are out. Plus, there is usually a German Shepherd Dog protecting the camper!

Gettysburg Planning for scouts - mid April
tim5055 replied to disney4dan's topic in General Camping Discussion and Questions
We stayed at Pine Grove as a base to visit the Hershey RV show. It's a nice quiet park with lots of hiking and fields for games. But, there is a little walking involved. When I booked, I found the staff helpful on the phone to pick a site that would be good for the dogs. -

I visited when they were installing the vegetation and sprinklers. I thought they would come back and make a permanent connection. Guess I was wrong. -
