I think Lou attracted at least 100 of those people, that's raise worthy! Dan

I'm tired after that section. I may have to call in sick tomorrow to recover. :faceplant2: Dan

I love that tent. Best Friends is great we left Disney there for a day on our last trip. Dan

I'm up to date again. woo. This is one long trip report. It's one long trip with a couple work breaks in between. Its not 2 separate trips. Dan

This is a case of messing with something people love so much. Everyone here (I think) loves the Fort and being there. We just get worried and (carried away sometimes) when a dumb (in our opinion) decision is made that may affect the campground we love so much. Dan

Congratulations. You are going to love camping in a motorhome. One thing I didn't mention before and this has happened to us. We were driving into a rain storm and the torrential rain was so hard it wasn't safe to drive. We pulled into a rest stop and sat at the dinette to have dinner. We read for a while. We never once had to go out of the motorhome. The rain slowed down and we started on our way again. Dan

What happened? I hope everything is OK. I'm going there in June and was hoping this report would be done by then. :rofl2: Dan

I started going to the Fort when I was 1 or 2 years old (Not sure if we went the first year it was open or not) and we went to RC a lot, so I'm sure I dipped, splashed, or what ever in Indian Springs. Great trip report, Dan

For those that can't remember which way the trailer goes when you turn the wheel: Put your hand on the bottom of the wheel and move your hand in the direction you want the trailer to go. Dan

Great report. I once read an article about a study that said people that spend money on experiences are happier than those that spend money on things to accumulate. I would say spending money on going to the Fort is an experience to be happy about. Dan

I have to wait 8 months to see them. I'm happy I saw them, but now I'm sad I have to wait. ( Dan

Ok, Now I'm caught up. I was young single digits, but am I remembering right when I remember a time when the Fort had dirt roads. I remember riding rented bikes on the dirt roads. It was in the 70's Dan

I'm late, but I'm here. I love going down 81 from the North East. 84 out to 81 and 81 to 26 to 95. Am I missing one? The motorhome knows the way, I set the cruise and go play games with the rest of the family. They always seem so nervous when I do that though. Dan

Depending on where you are coming from and how often you need the car it might be cheaper to rent. We are 1200 miles away so towing the car would cost at least 250 extra in gas I figure. It is way cheaper to rent even for 2 days. Dan Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk - now Free

1) not always a place to put them, and seems to me they are a lot harder to hookup. Also it reduces the weight of the car you can tow because it weighs more than a tow ebar. 2). Don't get me wrong I love the 450 chassis. I just want to make sure people realize they aren't as easy to drive as a van. 3) I had the rear springs built up. It helps a lot. I also had bulls eye leveling jacks put on as well. 4). The biggest thing with towing in a class c is the weight. The weight is restricted because anything over like 25' has an extended frame. My Jayco is fully boxed and done right, but I h

I have a class C. When you get an RV, of any type, you will need to tow something (unless you get a class B camper). My decision in this respect comes down to do you want to be comfortable on the ride down and have a smaller vehicle to drive around in or do you want to drive in a truck and have a big vehicle to try to fit in places. The 2nd options gives you just a little more space, unless you get a really long TT or 5th (over 30'). I don't know the campgrounds that you go to, but backing in a TT or 5th with a truck big enough to safely pull it is not an easy task. When I pull up to a c

Another perspective on the overloaded TV. My wife and I went on the look out for something that we could tow with our TV. We found something and it was fine. Wasn't what we wanted, but it was fine. Well 1 year later it wasn't fine. I lost about 3 grand on a 15000 trailer when I traded it in for the Class C. I recommend finding what you can afford then find what you want in that price range. At that point figure out how you can tow it. You may find like we did that we didn't need to tow it we could afford and wanted a Motorhome. I have talked to several people and some here have said

How'd the trip go? Dan

We'll see, I would love to. The only thing is we are going to the Fort for 2 weeks in June. I have the time off, not sure my wife does. We would want to go for more than a weekend. Dan

I'm in way late, but this was a great report. My wife and I want to go to Gettysburg. I have to show her this report and then it will definitely get on the camping schedule. Thanks, Dan

We need a cat that we know will get close to the size of Disney (17 lbs). He plays rough. Besides even though its been a few months since our cat died, I don't think we are ready yet. Dan

Wow, so TCD which one of these younger families have you groomed to take over for you? Great report that I started readying like 2 months ago it seems! Dan

Ok now I want a kitten again. Dan

This thing just never ends and that's a good thing! Dan

That was cool and impressive. Dan
