Another newbie here ... got room for 1 more (familiy)?? :W
 
We are are still working out the details, but hope to be booking site 247 this week for April 18-22. Not quite in the same area, but DH says he wants a little more room as he's "still not totally comfortable backing up the TT." Bless his heart, the man can put a huge school bus in a slot with 2" clearance on either side, but the TT is still giving him fits LOL

Driving a straight truck vs a truck/trailer combo are very different.  It is very understandable the concern.  Just remember, he is only as good as his spotter.  I hope that you guys can camp with us.

Cool, long time no see.  By the way, those heaters are still working out great whenever we have had to use them.  Thanks.

Spotter??? Who needs a spotter???Only real wimps use spotters...usreal women just goet out and look around and then cross our fingers.  They only confuse me.  I have only backed into a tree a time or two...and that was in the dark with the TV after the trailer was parked.  (I cannot see to drive at night)

You fail to see the benefits I have found with having Nicole spot for me:
1) Not as likely to damage the trailer
2) If I did, she couldn't yell at me as much
3) I know I am not going to have it in the right place so I might as well have her tell me right from the start what she wants ( see, a husband can be trained )

Raymond does all these truck driver hand signals, I am dyslexic and if he points left, I go right because, especially if I am tired, that is what I see...so it is easier NOT to try to train him. Nicole got you young, he was almost 50 when I found him, so he was just to set in his ways to train...

Trying to back the TV to the trailer is also a solo act. If you want to help me, point directly above the hitch so I can center...ooops does not work since I cannot twist...so I just have to go back straight and judge the center by the amount of trailer showing on each side.

Orthopedic Surgeon says I am not going to get any better, so WC is going to quit paying for the chiro, as it will not help...gee whiz...that is what kept me going this long and able to at least do what I do.  I guess disability is next???

All camping right now is up in the air, really, with no chiro, cannot move, and lord knows, I move carefully enough as it is.  So I may have to cancel, all depends on how my back is doing.

Paula, maybe you want to trade in both of your campers and get one of those little camper vans (Class B I think) - nothing to hitch up. Only take about 1/5 of what you own. Keep it simple. Eat your meals out so no need to bring all that cooking gear, either. Less to pack. Less wear and tear on your back.

Paula I hope you are feeling better.  Hope you don't have to give up camping.

Di, that is what I do with the Cabin A,  Very little can go in as there is very little storage.  Hitching it is easy, especially to the truck.  Guaging side to side in the mirrors is easier with the larger Bantam, that can be "turtled", the ends not dropped. I need air or cooler weather to do that or the Cabin A.  

On a side note, for those of you who have camped with me and Anna (cunningham falls), my friend from Baltimore, she is having brain surgury. the date is still up in the air. The tumor is benign, but giving her problems with balance and hearing.  She is really scared. For those of us who believe in prayer, can you keep her in your prayers? Thanks.

Well, put me down for another site, 209.  My friend will be coming.  He is hoping to get a popup before then and start refurbing it but either way he is coming.
