Tankpilot 9 Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 Looking at the FW app I see that it list the hook-ups as front, middle, or back. My TT has the sewer in the back and water and electric towards the middle. I think I have 20' of sewer hose, a 30' electrical cord, and 50' water hose. Will that accommodate pretty much all the sites or should I give those specs when I put in a loop request? The sewer is the most limiting, so I would think sewer in the back (that's only natural) would be easiest and allow for us to back in all the way. I would not like to get there and have to pay disney prices for RV supplies (if they even have the stuff). I'm not over thinking the trip, just like to as questions to learn (I've got 7 months so I might as well study). Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ImDownWithDisney 342 Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 FWIW I carry double or triple of everything. Plus spare rubber washers, sewer seals, and other odds and ends. You can always use an excuse to run over to camping world too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You can always use an excuse to run over to camping world too.I like to have extras of stuff as well (I think I carry 3 extra nylon plugs for my water heater) but don't really have spares of the heavier stuff. My TV is a Nissan frontier and my TT is a 26BH. I am close on weight so I really monitor what I carry. However, on our trip to FW, I will be using my father in laws Dodge 2500 Diesel. So, no worries about weight. I have a 30' extension cord I could bring for electrical. The water hose, 50', I think will be sufficient. I am just wondering about the amount of sewer hose.

DaveInTN 3,247 Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 You are correct that your sewer will be your issue. Mine is about 2/3 of the way back on the trailer and I still sometimes have to get out the longer hose to reach. If you can bring another hose and connector it may save you some headaches....even if you pick one up at Walmart ahead of time and leave in the package. Then if you don't use it you can always return afterward. I don't recommend returning it if you DO use it. :rofl3: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SCCamper 5 Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 We always carry extra hoses with us as well. I also carry an extension for our shore power just in case. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ImDownWithDisney 342 Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 I use a rhinoflex hose. I forget how long it is... maybe 20. I bought the 15' extension they make too. I had to use it at the fort once. My connection is in the middle of the 40' Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As per Dave's suggestion, I think I'll keep it in the box. That will give me 60' electrical, 40' sewer, and 50' water. If that is not enough, I think I'll just move the trailer.

Discamper 394 Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 The best is to carry 50 feet extra of everything all hoses,power cables and TV cables when camping you never know were your hook up will be Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Memphis 105 Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 As far as being at FW I think what you have will be enough to make it work, but if you want to be able to put your rig anywhere on the site I would have extra sewer and Electric. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted September 18, 2013 Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 I would not like to get there and have to pay disney prices for RV supplies (if they even have the stuff). I just realized that nobody responded to the question about whether the Fort Trading Posts have RV supplies. The answer is yes- they carry hoses and power cords and adapters and fuses- lots of stuff you might need. But, at Disney Prices. About twice what you will pay for the same item at Wally World. But, if you need it, they have it. I had to break down and buy an extension cord for my shore power once when I realized after I was already set up that I was a little too far to reach the electric. I was not a happy camper that day. What adds salt to the wound is I've never had to use that extension cord again. Now, I check before I set up. Lesson learned.

TCD You are very good at overpaying for every day items! I thought of you today when I saw a Tinkerbell shower curtain on clearance for $5.99. Maybe you could return it since you only used it once? And, I have to confess, I only clicked on this because I had to see what a thread entitled "hose needs" was all about. Sorry, guess I am channeling my inner Beavis and Butt-head this evening. I rarely have time to check in on FF these days and when I do I usually only click on one or two "headlines" that grab my attention on the main page. I so miss being caught up on things!

CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted September 20, 2013 Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 We carry an extra-long sewer hose. The only problem we've had at the fort is not having a long-enough cable cord. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
