dademt I want to add my welcome to PUT/COTOC.  Feel free to join us on any trip/trips.  Camping with a group when you are new has its benefits.  If you forget something or wonder how to do something someone is around to give you a hand.  Enjoy your new trailer, what did you get?  We are an informal group.  All that is required is to show up and camp with us.  We usually have a pot luck dinner Saturday night and sometimes other meals as well.  A nice campfire and some stories to tell around the campground.  You are welcome to join in on any activities or skip them.  Hope to camp with you soon. :)

Thanks, I look forward to seeing everyone as I have spent some time over the past couple months researching popups refering to many sites but this forum always interested me so I have been popping back in to read more.  By now I am starting to become familiar with many of the signons.  As for what we purchased, it was a 2000 Viking 2107st from family camping outside of reading pa.  I will pull it with a 1992 suburban.  So far I could only find one problem with a loose wire on the battery.  I also added a storage shelf inside the storage compartment and a stud to hook up power from the burb to power the fridge while driving.  If you saw my vehicle with the blue lights, you would understand I enjoy putzing around with dc wiring.  At the moment, the best opportunity we will have to meet everyone will be the fall rally in pa.  Can you let me know roughly what sites you guys have booked so I can see if there are any available near them still.  

Thanks again for everyones hospitality.

Hey dademt...

You have lights too???  Oh man, I can't wait to meet you!  I also enjoy "putzing around" with 12V DC.  Maybe we can have a flash-off or something.  Wait - that didn't sound too good.  :screwy:
 
   

 
What're you running in your 'burban light-wise??

One 55 watt halogen mini lightbar ( one low speed and one high speed rotator ) on roof
One halogen pancake on the rear of the roof
One duel strobe visor light:eyecrazy:
All hooked up to a 5 switch controller.  
That doesn't include the remote starter, keyless entry I installed post factory.
Yes, I am a blue light nut.  Oh well, at least people know when I am at a scene.
My wife already told me, nothing on the popup that rotates or flashes.  I am going to add a light or two onto the front of the storage compartment to help with viewing the hitch, battery, lp, etc.  I may at some point also add reverse lights onto the popup and install flashers in the burg that would of course work on the popup also.  To be seen.  Does sound like will will have fun comparing notes over time.

My wife shares your concern also, that there is two of us that is.   :yikes:
I am reserving sites tomorrow at hickory run for the weekend of may 6th.  Friends of ours are going up for the first time.  For us it is a yearly trip.  I know most will be up in NY that weekend but if anyone else will be at hickory run at the same time, let me know and I will tell you the site numbers we will be at.

Thanks again.

I will be going with in a short distance of Hickory Run on our way to NY.  I wish we would have time to stop and meet you, but we only have 5 hours to drive 250 miles Friday night.:(

That's ok, we are going to wait until sat morning to go up and then stay through Monday.  If you swing back by, we will be at sites 197 and 198 ( I am sure you would be able to recognize my tv however).  Otherwise, don't worry, we will catch you guys later on.  I wish you guys safe travels on your way up.
