Does anyone have any information about Wind Creek State Park in Alabama. When I was a young boy my family camped there but all I can remember about that trip was Horseshoe Bend battlefield. I was fascinated, but I can remember very little about the campground apart from the fact that its on a...

I'm embarrassed to admit this but my wife and I had a similar problem. After we opened the vents on the aircon unit itself, problem solved. Live and learn.

Thanks again RV Lyfe. Looks like I40 to exit 407 it is. By the way, we will be arriving in the area around 1PM on saturday.

Thanks RV Lyfe. We will be pulling a 32 ft. TT. When I said shorter I meant time not distance. I have been to Pigeon Forge many times and the traffic has become a nightmare. I thought if I could cut off the part between I40 and where Wear Valley Rd. hits the main drag I might save some time. ...

We live in central Georgia and I can tell you that the summers can be oppressively hot and humid. Might I suggest an alternate plan. Why not start in the New England area in early fall and follow the leaves south as they change. The Blue Ridge Parkway is beautiful any time of year but especially...

I have read several post in the last few months about travel to Pigeon Forge via I75 ,I40 through Sevierville etc. After looking at maps until my eyes are crossed, I have concluded that I75 to Hwy 321 through Maryville, Townsen, Wear Valley and Wear Valley rd into Pigeon Forge would be a shorter...

While preparing our camper for an upcoming trip, I noticed evidence of a leak in our gray or black  water dump valves. I need to gain access to check them out, but there is a cover that can best be described as corrugated plastic. I see no other way to get into it but to cut it. Is this the best...

My wife and I are planning a trip to Pigeon Forge. I have made this drive at least 50 times but never pulling our 32 ft. tt. I don't think my tow vehicle would do well on the hills around Dillsboro or across from Cherokee to Gatlinburg. I don't like the idea of driving interstate the whole way (...

Years ago we could travel through Ft. Benning in route to the gulf coast. Even at the slower speed on the base it cut a lot of time off our trip. Does anyone know if this is still allowed,and if so what is the route through the base?

I'm getting ready to buy new tires. Was very satisfied with the last set but something I read makes me wonder if they might contribute to trailer sway.  Something Else I read suggested that I might not have proper inflation.  Does anyone have any ideas on the topic or any recommendations. My tow...

Perhaps I was unclear as to my plan. I want to straighten, not cut and splice, the roller tube and then insert the MX57 to add stiffness. My hope is that this will prevent me from having to straighten the tube over and over.

Every time I think I'm getting a handle on this RVing thing,  I get slapped back into reality.  My wife and I were in Panama City last week and I was awakened by a heavy rain. I lay in bed thinking how pleasent it sounded and drifted off back to sleep. In the morning I realized that I had failed...

Thanks for all your replies. Our planned route is starting in Pike Co. Georgia  (about 40 miles south of Atlanta) through Pine Mountain, Columbus and then US431 through Eufaula, Dothan and on to Panama City. We will be towing a 30 foot TT behind a Ford Expedition. If anyone has any suggestions...

My wife and I are entering our second year RVing. All but one of our trips have been inside one tank of gas. The one exception was via the interstate so truck stops were easy to find. We are planning a trip to Panama City Fl. via US 431 and I'm a bit apprehensive about finding easy in/out gas...

I have never owned a TempurPedic but my wife and I stayed at a B&B in Key West and they had them on their beds. It was wonderful. After a long search I happened on Bed in a Box. They sell memory foam mattresses that are compressed, boxed and shipped. Compared to the real thing they were so...
