RE: Update from the Road and Question
If you don't have one, a good weather radio would be good. We check the weather 5-10 days in advance and try to avoid severe weather. Of course, sometimes all you can do is hunker down. Be safe. Thanks for the update!

RE: Pets are NOT to be left unattended... what??
We are full timers and have stayed at many parks where pet owners left their dogs in their RV all day and the dogs barked the entire time. Anyone walking by, the dogs feel a threat and bark. Just their nature. Please make other arrangements.

RE: camping in the smokies
Cove Mountain RV Resort is listed as Sevierville but is closer to Townsend and the entrance to the park. Reasonable rates. We drove by a month ago and only a few people there. Almost 10 miles from Sevierville. We stayed at Cove Creek RV Park closer to Sevierville. More expensive but a nice park and easy drive to the park. About 7 miles from Sevierville. Either park would be very quiet.

RE: How to plan??
We find that if we stop early during the week we don't have any problems finding campgrounds. For holidays we do make reservations. For weekends, we arrive early Thursday and stay thru Saturday or Sunday night. Most weekend campers arrive Friday afternoon and have to leave Sunday to go back to work.

RE: NYC campground recommendations
WE stayed at the Newburgh NY KOA. About an hour north of NYC. You can take the train into the city at Beacon NY. The KOA has a tour from the RV Park but it's pricey.

RE: what would you get?
Custom built and custom decorated Foretravel! 36' with 4 slides, 4 door fridge. New toad, not sure what kind, have to research that one. It will have to be painted to match the Foretravel! I would also buy each kid their own RV for their families. I better get off here and put in my order for the Foretravel.

RE: West Texas Trip
For Palo Duro Canyon, we stayed at The Oasis RV Park in Amarillo and drove to Palo Duro. They do have campgrounds in the canyon but they were pretty remote for our liking.
For the observatory, try Balmorhea State Park.
Can't help with Big Bend. That's on our list. Enjoy! keep us posted.

RE: Harpers Ferry West VA - KOA
Nice park. We just left there. Sites are short but they will work with you on finding the right spot. I would make reservations and call them and tell them what you need. Some of the back in spots were actually the nicest. Very nice hosts. You could spend hours in Harpers Ferry town. Very interesting.

RE: Recommendation for Internet Cellular Connection
I have the Verizon Mi-Fi 4G hotspot with the Wilson Sleek booster. Worked everywhere we've been in the US and Canada but we don't boondock. If you get a signal the Sleek will boost it a bit faster. We have the window mount taller antenna for the RV and the smaller antenna for the cell phone in the toad.

RE: 2008 American Coach Tradition Zone Air
We found that in our 2 zone system, the fan has to be in the same mode (low, high, auto) on each zone or one zone won't work properly. We also had to reset the thermostat (instructions in the manual) twice.

RE: Ohio, Kentucky, or West Virginia??
We just left Shenandoah Valley and Skyline Drive area and loved it! Shenandoah Forest has some campgrounds. Beautiful state parks in West Virginia too!
We also loved Harper's Ferry WV. Very interesting. We stayed at the KOA adjacent to the National Park. Might be too far out of the way.

RE: NC mountains campsite recommendations
We haven't been there yet, but have heard good reviews for Mama Gertie's Hidwaway near Asheville in Swannanoa NC. Beautiful area, lots to do but the park is wooded and has great views. We're headed there shortly.

RE: Campgrounds
I know what you mean. Love the grandkids but sometimes you just want peace and quiet. Never been there, but Charlestown State Park, Charlestown IN looks like it might fit the bill.

RE: What to expect
We have enjoyed all the rallies we have attended. Unless you want to take off and leave rally grounds on your own, a car isn't really necessary. They usually have shuttles to get around and they have optional tours that include transportation. There is usually so much to do that you have to make choices. We split up for some of the seminars and of course to shop! Gotta watch out for those vendors, they will gladly take your money! Some of our best bargains come from rallies. Have fun and report back please.

RE: Where to stay near McGuire AFB...
He can sponsor you. You just need him to sign as sponsor. Call the campground and find out how to go about making a reservation using him as sponsor.
For reservations or more information on the RV Campgrounds and RV Lots, please visit Dix Outdoor Recreation Center or call 609-562-6667/-4210.

RE: Long Hot Showers in an RV?
We have a 33' Country Coach Allure with Aqua Hot. When we're hooked up to sewer, we have unlimited hot water. Of course, if you're not hooked to sewer and have the gray valve open, you are filling up the gray tank and want short showers! (don't ask me how i know this LOL). Aqua Hot is great! The water is heated while you travel and when you arrive, just turn on the switch. No waiting for hot water.

RE: washing dishes-is grease and food safe down sink drain?
I don't put anything down the drain except soapy water. When I drain stuff, I put it in plastic bags or leftover bottles or cans. I wipe all the dishes and cookware with paper towels. If you aren't careful, the gray tank can smell worse than the black tank!
