eticketride 2 Posted July 19, 2015 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 I searched but didn't see anything on this. According to their website, they will be re-retiring in May 2016 and heading back north. I just wanted to say I hope things go well for them and their retirement, but I am saddened that they are leaving. I had an excellent experience with their company this year and I hate to see quality businesses disappear. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ependydad...Doug 176 Posted July 19, 2015 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 I wonder if there is really much money in this or if people do it because they enjoy it. Depending on where we end up when we come off the road, I could consider doing this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Humphrey Bear…Rob 42 Posted July 19, 2015 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 Who moves NORTH when retiring? Hate to see a service like this going away...Doug you need to do this! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted July 19, 2015 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 Yes, Curt also posted it on their facebook page. I'm also sad about it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted July 19, 2015 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 I know a lot of Fiends are sad about this, me included. We had one of Curt's campers for this years WWW. It was terrific and Curt's service was top notch. Curt's also been a long-time sponsor here on FF as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bhall 115 Posted July 19, 2015 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 Interesting plan. Maybe they are retiring to buy a BnB in New England. That could be the only reason I could see retiring north of the Mason Dixon Line Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grumpy and Grandma 740 Posted July 19, 2015 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 Who moves NORTH when retiring? But he did say "NO WINTERS"..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted July 19, 2015 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 But he did say "NO WINTERS".....Agreed! Right now I wouldn't mind being North of the Mason Dixon line, with the temps running about 98 during the day and heat index of 110!! You get soaking wet just walking out to the mailbox!

Wait until you hit ohio. It was 91 today when I got to our property to mow it. 100% humitidy. After being out in it for 4 hours, the thunderstorms and lightening came through and made it worse. Been like this in Ohio for a few months. I would take the south heat over the rain/humitidy streak we are on. Where was your t@b rally at again? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you get the chance, head over to heines cheese cottage and check it out. Also, miller's bakery is awesome (but you have to get there early to get the best donuts). Hope you have a great time up there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hate to see a service like this going away...Doug you need to do this!We are but only to the Maryville, TN area. 31 years down here in the Florida heat has been more than enough for us. Really miss the changing seasons. We do plan on spending January and February back down in Florida most years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lightbikes 73 Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 He said "was new changes affecting our business that are beyond our control." I wonder is this has anything to do with changes at the Fort? There were rumblings last year about "changes coming" . Never did find out what was going on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Memphis 105 Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 Wonder if Disney is concerned that rental campers are cutting into their Cabin bookings. Otherwise why would they turn down business. They could also be requiring rental companies to pay them a fee that Fort Camper Rental feels will put them out of business.

arthuruscg 34 Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 Humm, I wounder if they are selling the popups. #2 has the floor plan that I like, where the fridge can be accessed while the popup is closed up and it does not have a toilet or shower. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Retired and Happy (Ken) 101 Posted October 8, 2015 Report Share Posted October 8, 2015 We met Curt Christmas before last when he stopped by our site for a chat. A real nice guy, and we wish him well in his future endeavors. We have a niece in Iowa and they are moving back south...probably to make room for Curt. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
