Thank You for all the Great Responses Folks. I am going to check into the ones mentioned that I haven't already. It's probably getting close to reservation time  :) :) :) RubySam, my favorite spot is Lackawanna state park. It is very peaceful and secluded. It has about 100 sites and mature...

Folks, I'm not sure why no one has replied  :( . Maybe I'm just not asking the right questions or being specific enough. I am still open to suggestions as far as destinations and campgrounds. It would be great to find a campground a bit out of the way with a somewhat quiet, natural setting...

Hi Again Everyone, We are planning our big vacation for this year. Thinking of the beach. I am in Pennsylvania and thought it would be good to head North to the beach. There are 4 of us, Me, Mrs. and 2 kids under 10. We've been to Cape Cod before, (never camping) and are almost ready to book...

Thanks A Ton Ron & Roamer. I appreciate your experience. It's also good to know that it sounds about par. I'm enjoying it right now. Our family sleeps in it about every other night and it's quite peaceful. I even have a firepit in our backyard for when it starts getting chilly. The nights just...

Hey All, Just got back from my first trip with my new camper. It's a 27' Palomino Travel Trailer with a small slideout. I've looked at Palomino as mid-grade quality. That's just my perception and I welcome your views either way. It tows like a dream with the reese dist. hitch and sway...

Carl, Thank you for the info. Especially the spring rates related to the tongue weight.

Thank You RV Roamer. It sounds like what I was expecting. I don't care for the furnace noise myself but I'm sure there will come a point where it will sound tolerable as the temps drop. My brother has a coleman popup with a furnace. Despite having the furnace in his, we have both used electric...

Thanks for all the suggestions guys, much appreciated!!!!!!!!!1 A friend of mine has an Arctic Fox model and he is very happy with it for cold weather. Maybe I wasn't real clear in that I got rid of the popup so I could start my season earlier and end it later. Realistically I  can't afford...

Thanks Carl and Jim, Your insight and thoughts about the pullouts is greatly appreciated. I'm just looking for a reason to choose one over the other (a 2 ft slideout longer unit vs a little shorter pullout. I've already discussed the water usage with my wife and it's ok. Any camping we do...

Thank You Carl, Jim, and RV Roamer. I really appreciate the replies. Carl, I'm more on the grouchy old man side too and basically look at the RV as something we just USE once we get it. We don't sit around looking at how pretty it is. The whole reason I'm in this situation is so I can cold...

We were shopping today, My wife went nuts trying to get out of a new jayco saying it stunk and her eyes burned. It was sorta funny because it happened just as I was reading the 'formaldahyde warning label' at the door. Salesman said the same thing, it gets worse when they have been closed up...

Hello Everyone, good to be here. My name is Joe, I have a wife and 2 kids. 6 & 8 years old. We bought a '97 palomino yearling in 2002 and I just sold it. Went within 48 hours of the ad. It served us well, but we want something for colder weather camping. Also got tired Of the folding routine...
