Do you think a 27 foot Class C would be OK to drive into Buc Ees to fuel up?

Yes but I would try for the end pumps

How in the world did this thread go from FF dying to Moose?

Just like old times

So why are there so many fatalities? Is it the roads themselves (construction,  narrow, etc) or just the volume of traffic on it each day? 
I don’t typically travel on it. So curious is all. 

I would say the cause is idiot drivers, I usually avoid I-4 but this year I did use it from 50 back to 95, it was not that bad but I planned my trip well after the morning commute

Huge WaWa fan here in Maryland.  My mom also lives near Salisbury. 

Also a big Wawa fan, when I drove tractor trailer for UPS it was at least twice a night stop for coffee. On a side note I am even a bigger fan of Wawa as my dad was a delivery driver back in the VERY early days to houses when I was born so I tell everyone I am the milkman's baby

Good luck to you.  I hope they allow you to spend $$$$$ at their stations.  I want the tater chips!

Thanks Gretchen I do too. Been about 6 days since i contacted them and still no answer. With all the room on their locations just the safety factor for us is a plus, then they are usually cheaper on fuel but after we would get done shopping in their store whatever we saved on diesel would probably be left in their store.

Sorry, but I have no sympathy for the prima donnas who say "NO" because they aren't getting their "OLD" job back.  Many years ago I changed jobs and took a cut in pay because cuts were coming.  Best thing I ever did....the new position opened up a great opportunity and I never looked back..

So the old saying is true, when one door closes another opens!!! 

Well I sent Buccee's a email regarding my situation regarding our tow vehicle to see if maybe they would exempt us and let us use their locations, I hope they do as seeing they are building a lot more locations north and east and will fall into our travels plans. Will let you all know the response.

Coming north on 95 today in South Carolina and it looks like they are going to build another location around Florence

Ok so I did a drive by today and they had small signs at the entrance saying NO SEMI'S so went to Racetrack instead, diesel was the same price but very tight trying to get fuel, ended up blocking part of the lot but no one came and complained. It would be much easier with all the room at Bucee's to get fuel, hopefully they will realize we are not truckers and would end up leaving lot's of cash for the beaver

To me it could be a concern about inventory.   50 trucks like yours would cause them to bring in fuel more often, the same as 200+ pick-ups.  

Just thinking out loud....

Good point did not look at it that way but I have a feeling they probably already get a lot of the fuel delivery trucks there. I think they just do not want it looking like a truck stop as some that I have seen looked pretty nasty

DH is not a fan of the Key Bridge in DE. If he's awake when I'm driving I go the inland loop instead.

Being a De resident we won't take credit for the Key bridge, it's in Baltimore and they can keep it have you towed across the Bay bridge on 301 yet or the Chesapeake Bay Bridge tunnel on 13 going to Va, your hubby would probably divorce you after those

Not sure I would try with such a large rig.  They have signs up at all the entrances stating no Trucks allowed.  They do have diesel and DEF and I did not see anyone actually enforcing any rules.  I didn't see anyone helping because it is all self serve.

 

I have  never been in one but watching all the local news the lots look very large and easy to maneuver in I guess the truck thing is what they would argue.

Many have posted no MDT or HDT towing a fiver allowed.  My guess would be because of how much fuel you would  put in your tank vs a pick-up.

I have seen that about when they were only in Texas, not sure why they would complain about how much fuel I would BUY, but after checking Gas Buddy the Racetrack station near them looks to be lowering their price to compete, I bet they will like my money. If I fuel up there because the price is low I will not need to stop again for fuel until I am back home in De. 😃

I am hoping to stop in there next Tuesday on my way north for diesel fuel, the ones in Texas have been known not to let setups like ours in their property. We tow with a Kenworth tractor towing a 43' 5th wheel both tagged as a rv, I am thinking as new as it is they might not enforce that yet, they do allow other rv 's but it must be the truck they don't like but we shall see. Wish me luck

And then there's DH, who gets nary a bite anywhere.

I tell him he's just not delicious. 

 

My wife's line for me is that they don't bite nasty!!!!!!!

In his latest he spends a good 2-3 minutes complaining about YouTubers putting out misinformation.

As the old saying goes isn't that the pot calling the kettle black. I tried to watch it but decided best to go watch a train wreck instead

Congratulations! Yes, if we get to make the trip we will be in a cabin at the Fort.  Driving down Monday, February 8, and driving back home on Saturday the 13th.  Wish we were staying for 2 months!  What campground will you be at?

Elite Resort at Citrus Valley, where Grumpy & Grand mom are plus a lot of our FROG Friends

Thanks for a great 10 years and also for the new friends or Fiends I have made and agree with what you said GET OUT and CAMP!!!!!!

Gwen glad to hear your healing nicely, will you be at the Fort? I arrive in Florida Monday for a 2 month stay but outside of Disney but do plan some visits there as the wife who just retired yesterday ( WHOO HOO!!!! ) received some Disney gift cards as presents.

Thanks for sharing that Mo as we will be down there for a couple of months so might check it out.

As much as we like Disney we were getting a bit annoyed on having to book almost everything well before we got there as by the time we got there things or just what we wanted to do could change We would prefer the old paper fast passes even if we had to hustle early to try to get what we wanted then add on as we could. I am even at the point where selling our DVC would not bother me at all.

Was fooling around on YouTube and found a continuation video from this guy... and he just dropped a WHOPPER!  He was walking around his RV speaking about the "tenters" who were on either side of him and that when you camp at the Fort, you can have tents and million $ RV's parked next to each other... Ok, that is true statement... 

But then he goes on to say, and I quote "...every rate is different depending on what you're driving, so you're not paying for the site, you're paying for the vehicle that you're bringing into Disney's Fort Wilderness..."  Unbelievable!

I saw that also and just started thinking how many people are going to be shocked when they find out different 

I'm in for this ride, sorry to hear about your arm issue and hope it will be taken care of. Now on with the show!!!

Smart thinking, there could be a light up board next to the repaired Yeti saying this fella is sponsored by Yeti Coolers!

Your photo pass could have a Yeti Cooler sitting next to you with a link to their website and a special AK discount!

And all of the ride cars could have a Yeti sponsorship decal on them like NASCAR.

My oldest son is a HUGE Yeti fan ( coolers of course ) and he thinks this is the greatest idea, he has a whole collection of Yeti products to the level of what I would say obsessed, he is lucky that most of the times he either gets them at 50% off ( Pro deals ) or wins them thru a raffle site. I won't complain he gave me one for my birthday one year and was even filled with Bison meat.
