  2. so drive all the way down here, check out Sanibel and then you too can have a 2.5 hour drive to the fort
  3. Like everyone else said, the devil is in the details. Some are great and bulletproof, others are a complete headache. My Father was a diesel mechanic for 33 years, and I can tell you I have seen some crazy things. On a slightly different topic, I saw someone mention an Eco-boost ford, word to the wise DO NOT USE ANY INJECTORs/FUEL SYSTEM CLEANERS! The issue is the Turbo's are so close to the Exhaust ports there is no time for the "gunk" to burn up prior to entering the Turbo and it actually has melted a few turbos
  4. I am 2.5 hours south of the Fort, but I am looking into other campgrounds along the way, ya know if you go camping for a week, split it up, 2 days here 3 days at the fort and then 2 days somewhere else or split it 3 days and then 4 days at the fort I came across turtle beach in Sarasota- https://www.scgov.net/TurtleBeachCampground/Pages/default.aspx Anyone ever stayed there?

  6. the setup for Rockwood says the opposite, they want you to put the stabilizers down after the unit is leveled and prior to raising the roof. Whats the reason for not putting them down?

Landrys is the group that owns rainforrest cafe, t-rex, the boathouse, hell lest make it simple, most of the places in downtown Disney are owned by them.

  16. Just purchased our first camper and wanted to share my experience that I had.

I'd see one pop up here and there, but they were too old, or too damaged for what i was looking for. Id called the Local dealers like camping world and they just didn't listen to me, my only interest was a pop up and they were trying to sell me a hybrid. I went to another dealer who ha
  17. I have read about him already... does he charge for his services? with the exception of the fort, I would say I am an expert at booking hotels at Disney, we did 27 nights in 2014 with the kids... the money I saved by not going in 2015 did the down payment on the PUP.... As i told the wife, we can stay 1 night at the Lodge or 2-3 nights at the camp ground.... she saw my side of things
