GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 Check the PSI on your tire and tire before every time you go on a trip. I hope the Board make is a page or so everyone can see it. Today I was checking on my TT and I saw a TT coming back not good. The right side had a Tire blowout taking out the finder and some of the side of the TT and it also took out the mounting bracket and the upright of the awning. So check our tires all the time.We learned that the hard way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikeymouse1 25 Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 Make sure you have a up to date fire extinguisher in your rig. When they get close to the experation date they often will not work Quote Link to post Share on other sites
No1TitansFan 3 Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 If you drive to either the Studios or Downtown Disney the Hess stations both have bags of ice that are larger and are actually frozen for about the same or less cost than the bags of slush sold at the comfort stations.

Momof6....aka Marty 769 Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 Way to go, Discamper! This thread is not only informative and amusing, but has gotten lots of newbies involved!Here is my helpful advice: When traveling with many young campers, it is very helpful to dress them all in the same color shirt each day. It makes spotting the one who is wandering off much easier. If you dress in the same color as well, helpful stranger will point out the wanderer to you.Before we leave, I decide what color shirt we will wear each day. I then coordinate each persons outfits for the whole trip. (Yes, annoying, but it saves time later and also avoids red shorts with an orange shirt. LOL) Then I put all the clothes for each person for each day in separate plastic bags (I save the ones from the grocery store), remembering to add underwear, socks, etc. Then I pack each persons bags in their individual suitcase, with the top bag containing their pjs. The first night, they take off their travel clothes, put on their pjs, and put the dirty clothes in the empty bag. The next morning, i tell them the color ofthe day, they find that bag, get dressed, and put their pj's in that bag for that night. Quick and easy, which makes my vacation more relaxed.Also, before you head out for the park each day, take individual pictures of each child. If for some reason the child needs to be found, you have a picture of how the child was dressed that day. wdwpoohbear...Jennifer and fladogfan aka Gretchen 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Discamper 394 Posted August 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 If you live in the south Like Florida check your skylights. Here in FL we have had 3 days of heavy rain. So when I was checking on my TT today I found water in the inter liner of my skylight. Knowing I Eternabond all the seams I had a felling the water was not coming from there. When I got on the roof to check it out I found that all four corners were cracked to the center. After talking to my RV repair guy he told me if you live in Fl or really anywhere you should replace the outer shell of your skylight every 2-3 years. So I filled the crack with silicone and will replace it in a few weeks. The heavey rain cracked the plastic because the sun broke down the placsic. He said the sun and snow is worse because of the Wt rain just cracks it , but the Wt of the snow breaks pieces off. BradyBzLyn...Mo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

4Brians.....Todd 103 Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 Don't depend on your truck jack to be able to change a TT tire. It may not be strong enough (depends what you're pulling) or it may not lift high enough. I wish I had a dollar for every time someone called work needing assistance because they had a spare, but not a jack that would work. (or, God forbid...not the right size lug wrench) I would have...well...a lot of dollars.A good, dependable jack and correct lug wrench will always be cheaper than roadside assistance along the interstate.

Discamper 394 Posted August 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 This could be used as a camping thing. When we did big tie up parties we would wear glowwristbands on our lags and wrist so we could see each other and if one feel in the water they could be seen Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rdancemom... Pam 113 Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 If you buy a balloon and it shrinks or pops, don't throw it away. You can take it back to the park and they'll happily exchange it for a fresh one. With the price of WDW balloons, this makes biting the bullet balloon a bit less painful.

Tigger 33 Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 I never unlock my safety chains until I'm disconnected and sure the trailer is happy with where it's at. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
