RE: Campgrounds near Myrtle Beach but away from crowds!!
At willow tree which site type would you get if you had 3 children like we do!?
There is not much of any difference in sites. The ones right at the lake have a small hot tub. Otherwise they are all pretty much the same. Lagre and level. Closer to the lake will also be closer to the pool. Very nice quite place.

RE: Any known issues with 2013 F-250's?
I have a 2011 Ford and although it did have an issue with the turbo, which Ford replaced under warranty, it is without doubt the best pick up I have ever owned. My turbo made a kind of a clanging sound at low rpm as though the waste gate was fluttering. The problem was resolved by replacing the turbo with one direct from the factory - Ford engineering told the dealer not to replace the turbo with one from parts but to wait for a new turbo which would be shipped direct from the factory. This is evidence to me that the problem was addressed with the turbo design and was limited to the 2011 production models.
By looking at this thread it looks like Ford still does not have a handle on this problem. Or there is a lot of old parts being put on up to this date?
Post #2 says he has all the updates and they are still replacing 1 turbo a month with updated turbo's. :E
Another turbo failure with updated parts, but from the above it looks like Ford might still be having problems with the updated parts?
I have no idea on how the 13's are doing. They are too new to see any failure trends. Only time will tell if this problem has been solved.
The first 2 post you ref. are c&c trucks which have a DIFFERENT turbo than the p/u trucks. Just saying.

RE: No budging from MSRP
WOW, touchy group here. Don't mean to offend any delicate sensibilities. I'm just a little amazed that so many of you are on the dealer's side when they try to rip us off, the buyer.
I realize we are talking RV's and not cars. Perhaps if the dealers were more like car dealers they would work more with the buyer and sell far more units. My dealers sales philosophy was to charge me MSRP if he gave me high book for my trade and to charge me wholesale if he gave me wholesale for my trade. Except he under-valued my trade by $5,000. I'd bet that if car dealers used this philosophy they wouldn't sell a thing.
Personally, I think Camping World/Avondale is lazy and wants to make a mint off of each sale. They can find another sucker.
So tell us what you would have considered a fair deal. What numbers would have made it work? Really the only numbers that matter is your trailer plus what $$? I go in knowing what I want to get for my trailer and how much boot I'm willing to give to get thier trailer, regardless of any book they may show me. The msrp does not matter. By the way, I don't shop Camping World for rv's beacause I don't want to be hounded by a salesman while browsing the lot.

RE: New 2011 F250
Depends on how long you would keep the truck and if you need a diesel. I don't think I want to own a newer diesel out of warranty because of the cost of repairs. If your the type that trades every 3 or 4 yrs then thats not a issue. I have had no problems with mine other than a reflash but I think I will dump mine for a gasser when the warranty runs out. You could put a whole new engine in a gasser for the cost of some the repairs I've read about lately.

RE: Big Surprise in bed.
If you were bit more than once by a single insect, chances are it was a yellow jacket. They don't have stingers and can bite a good number of times. In my part of the country this is the time of year they build nests in the ground. And many find them with the mower. I vividly remember jumping from the mower while it went along without me. Dang those guys can bite.
It's better to find them with the mower than with the weed eater. Once I was trimming with the weed eater and was stung 27 times from head to toe. I HATE yellow jackets. Found 2 nest in the ground today while mowing. Those yellow jackets have now met thier maker.

RE: What is the best weed trimmer ?
Stihl or Echo. Echo is probably a little lighter but still a good trimmer.

RE: EXXON disaster
I wonder why the water separator did not detect water in the fuel before it could do 6000-12000 dollars worth of damage to an engine?
Probably all water and no fuel.

RE: Smokey Mountains camping - 4 families with different needs
Tremont Hills Campground and Cabins
They border the national park. Full hook ups. Separate tenting area. Small to large cabins/log homes. On Little River. Great tubing from your camp site.

RE: This is what happens...
Move that little Karate sticker to the side of the truck...make it look as if the girl Kicked A**:B
ROFL!!
Well, I had two estimates done and they were both within fifty bucks of each other. The cheaper one was 830.00. That, of course, involved repairing the dent, and then painting/clear coating the whole panel so that there is no lines. So, it's going to be 500 smacks for this little mistake. The wife is very opposed to fixing it, but I can't stand it. A little scratch is not a big deal, but this glares at me.
I'll post an after pic.
Thanks for all the advice.
If you mean you are going to turn it in on your insurance I would not do that. If your deductible is $500 you will lose the other $300 to higher premiums for the next 3 years. Your truck would also show on a carfax that it has been damaged.

RE: Gulf State Park
You have to drive or bike to the beach but very close.
If you can get a spot along the canal near the bridge the beach is a very short walk.
The new pool is nice but they charge a daily fee. I believe it is $2, even for campers.
We were there a couple of weeks ago and there is no charge for the pool for campers. They give you a pass when you check in.
