Toad trailer question

[twiceblessed....nacole 433]

So, my folks are joining us at the Fort next week (yay!!); this will be their first trip with their MOHO.  Question:  can you leave your toad trailer in the overflow or are you suppose to park it on your site?

[Grumpy and Grandma 739]

You can get a parking pass at the Outpost for your trailer and park it in the overflow. They usualy give you a ziplock bag for the pass. I would take a couple zip ties to attach it. I recommend a lock for the trailer too.

Thank you.  I'll pass this information along to mom and dad.

Thanks again :)

I would get a high quality tongue lock to secure it.

I would also get a lock for the trailer's spare tire.

With the size of those trailers I would just disconnect at the site, roll it to the back and park over the tongue.

I agree with trying to keep the trailer at the site.  If it's a premium site, there should be room.  I've seen lots of Fort guests keep their extra trailers at their sites, and since the overflow lot is far from secure, I'd only park my extra trailer there as a last resort.  I've heard lots of stories about trailers disappearing from the overflow lot.

And you can always just keep pushing it behind you into some common area like the tenters did over the summer...

Absolutely.

If it's behind a motorhome, chances are that no one is going to see it or say anything about it.

I guarantee you that if we went to the Fort right now, we'd see lots of sites with an extra trailer parked at the site, in addition to the main camping unit and a car.

We use a tow dolly to pull our car down and have always left in the overflow lot.  We have not had an issue since we bought the MOHO and dolly in 2009.

Good to hear.

I asked; they have one.

They have one of those, too.

I'll pass that along to my parents.  I'm not familiar with how the set up works, but I know the turn off at the entry... guess they would just unload the toad there, then pull into the loop and we'd disconnect at the site... push the trailer in and then back the MOHO in.

That's the idea.
