Congratulations! Very cute indeed.

Reviving this thread to let everyone know that Gatlinburg Jellystone is now Imagination Mountain Camp Resort. The Landry's still own it so I don't see much in the way of changes (which is good) just no more Yogi bear. http://www.imaginationmountaincamping.com

Welcome! No need for google when you have Fort Fiends. All the Disney and Fort information you want in one nice convenient place along with nice helpful people who have most likely "been there, done that". Just ask.

We have stayed at both of these. Waltersboro is great for us if leaving late in the evening. If we leave mid day we like the KOA. We like the KOA due to it being closer making the second day part of the trip minimal.

This picture always comes to mind when folks mention over tensioning their WDH. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-TKy730WJ1Uk/URQn-VpBKXI/AAAAAAAABaI/GX8LIfUgWcg/s680/WDH+Pic.jpg

Our stopover on our last trip to the Fort was the KOA in St Mary's/North Jacksonville. It was a nice park and appeared to have several folks staying longer than an overnight stop. There was a lot of things to do in the immediate area according to the brochures. The sites towards the back of the park seemed to have more room and the sites on the first 3 rows were more for the overnighter.

Epcot - La Cava Margaritas - must go inside for them, not the outside vendor ones Epcot- Germany Wine & Cheese Shop - Spaten Dopplebock beer Epcot - France - Orange slushy Grand Marnier

I refer to those people as "Sun People" or "People of the Sun" (POS for short), as the world does revolve around them. If you don't believe me just ask them.

Yep, Bilsteins on my last F250 and made the ride less rigid, and boy are they a bright yellow, with blue boots if I recall. One of my buddies runs his tire pressure about 20 pounds less when not towing and then airs up each time he tows, for what its worth.

Spicy Siracha BBQ sauce and I would insist they begin offering some egg pie!

Love their Fish and Chips and beer selection. It's a must stop for us when at Epcot. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Regarding advice on TT's I have always held to the belief that 10 years is pretty much the lifespan of the roof. If I am buying used I certainly want to look at the roof, and know the age, and understand that buying an 8 year old unit means I will be replacing the roof in two years. Others may disagree, if so, great! I would like to hear others chime in on their experiences with units 10 years and older. I know there are exceptions, like the ones kept in a temperature controlled garage, but not many of those exist. By the way...Thank You both for the sacrifices you have endured to protect t

First off, CONGRATULATIONS! I had always owned Gas trucks, and NEVER considered using cruise control while towing, until I switched to Diesel. It truly is unreal how easily the diesel seems to pull compared to all of my previous gassers. Regarding tank size, I feel like I researched this as much or more than you did while searching for a truck. When I had my F250 V10, it was a shortbed also, which for some reason Ford thinks must have a 26-28 gallon tank (26 for gas, 28 for diesel). I was getting ~6-7 mpg towing in the gasser which means I was stopping every 120-130 miles for gas, at least you

That cheese plate is AWESOME! I enjoyed several on our last visit. I chose the Spaten Optimator dark beer to pair with mine, as I am not a huge fan of German wine. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Be aware that there was an issue within a specific manufacturing window on the 2011 Fords in which the glow plug tips would break off and fall into the engine, causing major damage. I'm only aware of this because TN22 has a 2011 F250 and told me about the potential problem as his was built during this window. He got a great deal, so opted to take the chance. You might reach out to him. That being said, at 112K, I'd highly doubt this would be a problem. Like Lone-Star said, the 10K difference in price would cover the cost of a lot of repairs, but - Less Miles and Warranty is always better, a

X2 - Great pics. Also enjoyed our lunch at the best BBQ place in Knox-vegas! Hoping to camp at Anchor Down in November, as our August is booked!

Several places we have stayed recently have started charging a fee if you bring your own. I expect Disney to start this practice, as I understand it, by charging for bringing your own and signing the agreement you are essentially relieving the campground of all responsibility.

I use Allstays camp and RV app, very versatile for finding many things other than just fuel stops

We use WDH on our 1 ton for mainly sway control. When We changed hitches a friend reccommended the solid lift bars (no chains), and it really helps with sway, but only makes about a 1.5 to 2 inch difference in rear sag.

Appetizer we make for get togethers. Semi frozen Tater Tot Pickled Jalapeno slice Wrapped in half piece of raw bacon Tooth pick to hold together Deep fry for 90-120 seconds Remove from Oil and sprinkle with shredded cheese

Nice looking truck. You will not be disappointed with the diesel.

Yes! I use one. My tires run in the low 120 degree range at each stop I try and check them. FWIW my truck tires run about the same temperature, so I figure that is normal for my setup. I don't know if you can predetermine what yours "should" be, but my advice would be to take a temp reading at each gas stop and keep track of what they are. That doesn't help much on the maiden voyage, but that is the only way I would think you could determine a baseline. Maybe some others can share their temp readings?

Looks to have a lift kit installed. I agree with LoneStar, stay away from lift kits if towing.

Ford stopped putting the V10 in the Pickup truck at the end of 2010. I traded a 2009 V10 in on a 2011 Diesel, and couldn't be happier. Primarily for fuel efficiency reasons, but I will certainly give the V10 a positive vote, as it pulled our 9800# TT very well, across several large East Coast mountains. As I have said in other posts, the stupidity of Ford to put a 26 gallon tank in a full size truck, especially when towing less than it's stated capacity and am getting 6-7 mpg, you realize you are stopping every 120-130 miles for gas. All of the add on fuel tanks and replacement tanks are for D
