Title: Just FYI...
Post by: GoneCamping on Oct 19, 2024, 09:40 PM
I arrived in Virginia today, had to put in a grueling 9.25 hour drive due to problems stemming back to my Accident in April, seems when I didn't show up at Delaware State Park, they cancelled all my reservations. So I made emergency reservations at TT Harbor View (Colonial Beach VA). Will move to TT Williamsburg VA tomorrow.

Truck ran well, and very surprised that the V10 got 7.7 mpg while towing the trailer, twice what my old Dodge did. This old trailer also held up very well too.

Darn, a 9.25 hour drive is about 5 hours past my limit. Can't believe that they cancelled ALL your reservations for one no show. Better gas mileage, and the price of a gallon is dropping. That's a bonus.
Donna has been in our trailer most of the weekend. She slept in it last night. She is one happy lady.

Update: I've arrived in Florida (actually got here on Sunday). The truck ran fine, despite the fact it has V10 I still got around 7.7 MPG towing the 5th wheel, had plenty of power and enough torque to get the job done with ease. That was my #1 concern that this would eat me up in Gasoline costs like the old Dodge did, but my worries were not a problem.

Currently at TT Three Flags (TT3F) for a few days, heading for Orlando (TTO) on Saturday for a 3 week stay, then back to TT3F for another 3 weeks. Nice & warm here, low to mid 80's during the day, was 64ยบ this morning when I got up.

Glad you made it to your winter grounds with no issues.
I can't wait until spring so we can camp in our rig.

You may find Donna still camping in your new trailer this spring!   ;D

Yes Dave, if she could she'd live in it.
She tried a night this past weekend. Temps down to upper 30's. I had the furnace running but she told me to turn it off. She had the electric blanket. About midnight she came crawling into our bed in the house, along with some cold toes.
Can't blame her totally, she said there was a police helicopter circling the neighborhood.  :o

Even if it's in the driveway, it's still camping!  Right?

Right! It's been named Camp Driveway since 2020 when it was the only camping we could do!
We have 30 AMP outlet and a fire pit. As long as momma doesn't ask for a sewer hookup things should be ok.  ;D
