RE: Camping in the driveway
My boy and I sleep in the rig periodically during the camping season when we are not away camping. Th 5th is in the yard and we see it all the time. We might spen a few more night this year though. The DW will not stoop that low as she indicates..... She thinks we are nuts!!!!!!!
RE: Diesel Vs Gas -Ford milage- - UPDATED
I have been reading all these issues with diesel and gas engine trucks for towing purposes and it has been good discussions!!!! I have been wondering if I should move to a diesel truck versus the 02 Chevy 8.1 L gas engine I have now. Pulling a 35' medium profile 5th with a weight of app 9200 LB I do loose power up hills and wish I might have a diesel. I'll keep my gasser 8.1 L chevy for now. Thanks for helping make my decision clear.
RE: Open Range 5'er vs. Monte Vista
The wife and I like the rear living room model. We saw it at the Novi rv show earlier this month. The one thing I noticed and is odd that there is no ladder on thwe rear or even an option for one. Maybe the roof is not designed for human load!!!!!
RE: macnaw city mi campgrounds
We stayed at Macinaw 2 years ago and could not wait to leave . Very tight sights and very busy place. We could not even open our awning!!!!! And the fire pits were tin lids about 18" diam. with the camp sight behind us just feet from our rig. But the view over the water was nice . No swimming beach either. A very rocky shore line.
RE: Finally bought our 1st 5th wheel (long, but its Saturday!)
What a great story. Its funny how when you know its the right one it feels good to buy it. I had the same experience when I bought my truck.... Good deal. Enjoy your camping....
RE: Michigan in the Spring
Ok now you got me really edgy to get out and camp!!!! Two years ago we started our trips in Holland at the tulip festival. it was the first weekend in May. A bit cool in the evenings but the days were just perfect and fresh. Never make reservations this early and we just wait for the weather and if its nice watch out were gone camping...

We were at the Fort Morgan in Alabama. Some great hiding spots!!!!!!
how many 2007 camping trips did you make!!!!
Hey all. Just wondering how many camping trips folks make during a given year. We live in Michigan and last year we were out 11 times and very thankfull of that with gas prices and all. We will see how many in 2008 we make.
RE: trip to Michigan this summer
If you like canoeing and the beach try alconapark.com near Glennie michigan. It is a bit west of Tawas and a bit north but not too far from Lake Huron. The area is beautifull with Pike fishing as well. They have full hook up and electric and rustic sites.
RE: Sleepy Hollow State Park
isn't this the state park which has information on the reservation system which indicates the electrical connections in many of the sites are a 75' range. A long way to run for electrical connection.... Make sure your electrical cord will make it!!!!!!
RE: Findlay, OH and Allegan, MI
We have stayed at Hidden Ridge many times and it is a very safe resort type rv park. Not many trees but all the hook ups and a great club house and pool.
rv boondocking in Michigan
I'm looking for places to boondock in Michigan. I dont care for the parking lot type but the rustic type and not the rv rustic campgrounds scene either. Is there such a thing as free state land to use for camping.
