  1. On our old camper we left it out unless the weather was calling for high winds. We now have a class A that we purchased a whopping two weeks ago, and it has an automatic awning with a wind sensor which will close the awning when the winds get too strong. I still have some reading to do on that one - it is a nice feature, but I wonder how well it works?
  2. Funny you should mention those places. The first day we went to Fretz RV, we also stopped at Stoltzfus in West Chester and Boat N RV. We were looking for a gently used Class A, and the Stoltzfus salesman showed a couple of rigs that were downright filthy. One even had a bag of moldy bread in one of the cabinets. His attitude was along the lines of "Oh well, we haven't cleaned this one yet." We were horrified. I remember thinking that if that was the level of care they gave prior to the sale, what could we expect afterwards? At Boat N RV, the salesman was a really nice guy, but he knew
  3. I live a bit west of you (Harrisburg area). We used to do the 15-270-495 route around the west side of DC but the DC-Richmond corridor has been a PITA since I can remember (drove that a LOT when I lived in the Tidewater, VA area and would visit realtives in Baltimore and Philly). This time we are doing the 81-77-26-95 route. We drove it last year when we took a cruise and then visited Orlando. That route added a whole 30 miles each way for us. For you, if you grab the turnpike to Harrisburg, you can avoid some traffic by using either of the routes above. We do the trip in two days each wa
  4. Again, title says it all - who should buyers steer clear of?
  5. I have two: Gayle Kline RV in Mountville, PA (just west of Lancaster, PA). Very friendly, helpful folks. We bought our Jayco hybrid from them in 2001, and then traded for a Jayco class C with them a few years later. http://www.gayleklinerv.com/ Fretz RV in Souderton, PA (between Allentown and Philadelphia) We just purchased a Class A from them last week. It was a consignment unit that looked like it just came off the showroom floor. Being a consignment, it was sold as is. That being said, they went over the coach with us like we were newbies, and when the salesman noticed two of the day
  6. Title says it all - if you know an RV dealer who treated you well, and you would have no trouble recommending to others, list them here.
  7. Welcome aboard, folks. Don't blink or you'll miss something :dance:
  8. Has anyone stayed there? Opinions? In another thread I recommended the Florence RV Park (formerly Florence KOA) in Florence, SC (I-95 south, about 30 miles south of South of the Border). For our upcoming trip in August we are taking the I-81/I-77/I-26/I-95 route, mainly so we don't have to deal with the traffic between DC and Richmond. From where we live that route adds a whopping 30 miles to the trip.
  9. On two different trips to the Fort from here in Central Pennsyltucky we have stayed at what used to be called the Florence S.C. KOA. Clean, level pull thru sites, nice pool, friendly staff, and convenient to the highway without a bunch of highway noise. It is no longer a KOA but now called the Florence RV Park - here is the web site: http://www.florencervpark.com/
  10. Last time there we tried Raglan Road for the first time and really enjoyed it. The Shepher's Pie was outstanding!!

  14. We just got a new (to us) Class A. I'm thinking of calling it "Our Kid's Inheritance"
  15. That is a great hotel. The free breakfast and manager's reception in the evenings are terrific.
  16. Chicken and Snow Pea Pods stir fried with broccoli, onions and carrots. Delish!!
  17. Sounds good, but why do you rinse your bacon?
