    Are you bothered by outside noise?

    When we moved from a tent to an TT thats one thing we noticed, you can't here anything outside and we have a pretty basic TT. Turn on the AC and you really don't here anything at all. In a tent in a PA state park that has 30 feet between sites we could hear even the lowest conversation.

    Small camper recommendations

    One other thing is do not always believe the RV salesperson when they say "sure it can tow it". I'm on a few FB RV groups and have seen some horror stories. One that comes to mind is a person was sold a 3,600 DRY TT when they towed with a 4 door Jeep Wrangler with a 3,500 lb spec. The...

    Small camper recommendations

    Yea this is something I only see in towing specs for minivans I think its their sort of explanation of gross combined weight rating. Its not in the manual for the two vehicles I have towed with, 2014 Jeep Cherokee 4,500 lb spec or Nissan Frontier 6,300 lb towing spec. From the current manual

    Small camper recommendations

    Note what makes them light is light sort of cheap materials inside. So don't expect solid wood cabinetry. Also when I towed with my Cherokee that had a 4,500 tow spec. I t most got 13 mpg on a trip I could get 31. One way to the fort from our house, 900 miles, would be 5 to 6 fill ups. I now...

    I have a KZ 180BH, 2750 dry 3500 GVWR. Sleeps 4 without tuning something into a bed but it has a Full XL bed in an east west configuration. As for a changing area, the bathroom in ours and all light short TTs is small. Used to tow it with a Jeep Cherokee but now have a Nissan Frontier.

    School bus conversion allowed?

    I've read some private parks have issues. Heard some site that its something to do with it not having RVIA certification.

    What to look for in an RV?

    One thing to keep in mind is that there are reports that sales and rentals of RVs are thru the roof so availability of RVs to rent maybe low and even as RVs sales have generally been growing over the past years campgrounds haven't been. Growing up as we traveled we usually just winged in fact...

    OK but then we got to the issue of how much meat you eat in 4 days. :)

    But do you need to buy and freeze large amounts of meat? But my freezer gets very cold but never been with it south of the Mason Dixon line.

    *Truck and Towing thread........ask your questions here.*

    How long are you out? Can you buy everything at the start and freeze before you leave. But not sure why you would do this? When camping you sometimes have to adjust how you shop and eat. But we find even for a long weekend for four we can fill the fridge but have very little in the freezer...

    why stay in a cabin?

    We needed a room for 6 in '99. The one bathroom wasn't a huge deal since there also was the kitchen sink and we had 2 little kids that could shower together. Oh and easy access to the MK.
