RE: Best place to stop over near GA FLO border
Exit 32 off I-295 around JAX is a really nice CG called Flamingo Lake RV resort. It can handle your rig.
Here's their website: http://www.flamingolake.com/

RE: Crown International near Charlotte, N.C.
If you're visiting Fort Mills, why not check out the KOA there? Nothing special, but it's not bad to use as a base camp when visiting the area.

RE: tow dolly for Prius
I have a 2012 prius-v and Toyota told me not to use a tow dolly. Must be towed with all four wheels on a trailer. Electric motors are on all wheels of this particular model.
Sorry, someone gave you mis-information. Only the front wheels are powered. There are NO motors on the rear wheels. A tow dolly will work fine, even with the Prius V.

RE: Information on New RV's
We have a Columbus 320RS. We really like it. You get a bang for the buck with its standard features. You'll love the 30"X 60" shower. I visited the factory last Fall and was impressed with the people. I've had good factory support when I had a question.
BTW, a rear cap is available, we don't have it because we have the fold down bike rack.

RE: 3.42 or 4.10?
...2013 3500 Ram with the 6.7 and Aisin 6 speed...
Are they now using the Aisin tranny in the 3500? When I was shopping, it only came in the cab & chassis. I still have the Chrysler tranny.

RE: Travel with guns
Gun laws vary from state to state. Many recognize other state's concealed carry permit, some do not. There is a book available listing the latest gun laws in each state.
If you are full timing and want to carry, I suggest buying it.

RE: New Zealander Travelling In The US
When planning a trip, one of things I really enjoy is routing the trip. I use an RV road atlas that includes RV campgrounds located long the way. Such as this one: http://www.campingworld.com/shopping/item/good-sam-road-atlas/56224
Find points of interest along the way. If you're in a hurry, follow the Interstates; If you have time, travel some on the U.S. highways and see the real America.
Be sure to walk around the campgrounds and talk to fellow RVers.
Stop at the state welcome centers usually located on major routes as you enter a state. You'll find brochures and maps of interesting things to see and do.
Enjoy your trip. If your travels bring you up I-95 through North Carolina, drop me a PM and I'll show you where to stop for some awesome NC BBQ.

RE: tow dolly for Prius
I had a Master Tow dolly made in Fayetteville, NC. I really liked it.
Your Prius would work on their model 77T. As for low clearance, they now make a ramp extension that allows you to load & unload your car without hitting the spoilers. Get the 14" wheels, LED brake lights and electric brakes.
Here's their website:

Tire balance of tow dollies
Just drove up from Jacksonville, FL on I-95. I passed a LOT of snow birds heading back North. I noticed when passing the tow dollies, most of their tires were bouncing and in need of balancing, even when towing a vehicle. I mean a couple were REALLY bouncing.
Tip to people with a tow dolly, have the tires balanced.

This is one of our favorite CGs near the foothills of the Smokey Mountains.

It's isolated on a beautiful creek. Great fishing, tubing, swimming, white water rafting, hiking, etc.

RE: goofy , but true ?
When I had my Master Tow dolly, they reccommended NOT towing the vehicle backwards because of lack of stability.
I towed an old Javelin backwards because of having an automatic transmission and it sure towed much better when facing forward as designed.

They're 100" wide
100" or did you mean 102"? Most wide body rigs are 102, and narrow 96", I can't say I've heard 100" mentioned before.
Columbus fivers are 100" wide. I have seen other high line fivers at 101" (Double Tree DRV). I guess there could be 102" fivers. Most of the fivers I've checked out when shopping were 96" wide. The Columbus might only be 2-4" wider, but you can tell the difference once inside and the slides are open.

RE: The Palomino Columbus Toy hauler
I have had a Columbus 320RS fiver for a year. We really like it. I visited the plant last Fall and saw an early TH. For the money, they have a lot of amenities and luxury items. They're 100" wide, 6 sided aluminum welded frame, nice looking rigs.
Palomino has been around many years. Columbus is their high line fiver. Forest River puchased them a number of years ago. Prior to my Columbus, I had a Sabre fiver, also a Palomino.
I have been very satisfied with their customer service.

Give Camper's Inn a call in Mocksville. They have a couple good RV techs working there. I can't stand inept service & parts departments, or the people that work there.

RE: Soldering corroded brake wires.
Some good responses.
Replace the corroded section of wire with the same size.
Use butt connector, solder (rosin core) , and use heat shrink tubing over the splice.

RE: RV Parks Recommendations, South Charlotte, NC?
We stayed at the Charlotte/Ft. Mills KOA last year. It wasn't that bad. We spent a weekend while visiting Charlotte. If we were to go back to the area, I'd stay there again.
