Need Camping Ideas in Indiana
We have cancelled our plans for the outerbanks of North Carolina for next week, but still have the week off. We want a campground with a great pool, full hookups if possible, bike trails, etc. Any suggestions?

RE: Motorcycles
How is the best way to tow a motorcycle behind a motorhome? I haven't purchased it yet, but am looking at a Honda 750 Shadow. Any thoughts?
I'm thinking I would tow the motorcycle instead of the car we currently take with us on trips.Since you posted this in the Class B forum, I presume you have a smaller motorhome and have concerns about will you be able to pull it or haul it? You could do either, but you would be over the rear gross axle weight rating (GAWR) with a Honda 750. You might get by with a 200 or 250cc. I found that towing works much better and have also migrated to an enclosed trailer, for the same reasons as others have stated. The manufacturer, of mine, is Excalibur , but I believe they are "out of business". There are a few used ones around and there are a couple "copy cats". I've got close to 150,000 miles on motorcycles or scooters over the last 51 years. Put the front wheel in a chock and use 4 ratchet straps all pulling the motorcycle slightly forward into the chock. As was said, do not over compress the shocks - only about the same as when you sit on the bike.
The big class A motorhomes with large rear GAWR can haul a Honda 750 or larger using this Overbilt Lifts .
Can I just purchase my utility trailer from a Lowes, or do I need one with a larger wheel base? I currently have a tow dolly for my wife's car. Would the less expensive steel mesh type trailor work for the 750? I appreciate your help here.

Satalite Receiver needed for each TV
I'm about to begin installing the satalite on the class B. I have two TV's in motorhome...will I need the two receivers I own? I'm going to secure a bracket on roof in back and front where I will place the satalite upon setting up camp. A fellow camper last weekend showed me how he put the ends of the tripod into PVC tubing that had adjustable feet. It was a neat set up and kept the satalite out of the way while camping. Having a bracket in front and back allowed me to place it where there was the best view of the southwest sky.

RE: Just pulled into Camp Hatteras!
You lucky dog. This was our site in 2006...one of our most favorite vacations!

Glad to hear you had fun. We debated this trip over and over. We recently decided to go and stay on the Premier sites on the sound. Are there good bicycling trails?

RE: Just pulled into Camp Hatteras!
Anyone else around? I'm in site 308.
What do you think of it? We are scheduled to arrive in 2 weeks. Concerned about the cost at $81 per night on the premier sites on the sound. Were just offered a 20% discount off the non-premier sits...for a final cost of $60 per night.

RE: In line water filter
Always use treated water from a public water supply. I've never had a problem but I do not use untreated water.
What do you mean by treated water?

RE: Camping in Kokomo In
We've camped at Mississinewa many times. It's a really great campground ... big. BUT full hook-up sites are limited, so make reservations EARLY through the Indiana DNR web site.
I agree. Depending on your rig, full hook up sites sometimes take a little work to get into. We were fine with our TT that we had at the time we stayed there, our friends have 37 ft 5th wheel and had a little more work. Great place!

Because it is so relaxing! No worries about laundry, yard work etc...and where else can you meet such great people? We love it!

RE: In line water filter
That makes sense. We understand that bacteria can grow in the water lines between use....any thoughts there?

In line water filter
We have an in line water filter in our Class C. Question is, can we leave the filter in place in between trips and not worry about the quality of the water? I have a concern about the filter sitting in the water that remains in the cylinder.

RE: Transition from 5th wheel to class c
We went from a 29 ft TT to a 32 ft class C last year and absolutely love it. Very nice for my bride to be able to have a bathroom break or make lunch without having to stop. Dogs can sit right beside us too. You will love it.

Trip to Maine
Help...we are planning a two week + summer vacation. From Indianapolis, we plan to stop in Niagra Falls and continue onto Maine. The Wells Beach Resort appears to be a nice place. From there I'm not sure where else to go. Nothing jumps out at me in Vermont, New Hampshire, New York. Nova Scotia would be too far in two weeks. Any assistance would be appreciated on sites and nice campgrounds.

RE: Not sure this is the right place but...
I'm interested in hearing the answer. I'm not completely happy with my class c seats either, as they don't have headrests. Will the swivel work in a class c?
