What appliances do you think should go in there? I was thinking a coffee pot, blender and toaster. I am wondering if I will want a crock pot or not?

Starting to make a list of what we will need to buy to keep in our camper. What would be on your list? I already bought dish towels, kids plastic cups, plastic colanders, and a bottle opener. I was out looking for deals yesterday, lol.

I love that model! Dh would like your bathroom better than the one we are getting. Glad to hear you like the layout.

That's ok, I can wait. We probably won't take the TT down until next May, so as long as you can get it sometime before then.

Thank you!

I would love to be able to make it to Adairsville. I guess we will see how early we can leave. What time do you think you get on teh road to be able to amke it to Adairsville, any idea? We'll defintely be taking our time with the driving and being safe. I just feel like the vacation doesn't start until we hit WDW though. It's not the most fun driving 12 hours with the littler ones. The big kids do great though. Good thing to remember. I hadn't thought of that, thanks!

Thanks for the estimate on the extra time, it is good to know so we can plan where to stop and if we will need to stop 2 nights on the way down or 1. We only drive about 12 hours before stopping for the night so i am still trying to estimate where that will put us. I am thinking mid-Tennessee with the route we take.

That would be great, thanks!

What time do you leave Wisconson to get north of Atlanta on your first day? That is where we have usually stopped without a TT. We usually leave here at 6am and with very minimal stopping, end up just north of Atlanta by 7pm or so. It would be nice ot make it that far with the TT too.

Thanks! I am just dying waiting to be able to bring it home now. :mh1:

Thanks for replying, Roberta. Now the wait to bring it home! :dance:

Okay, I'm terrible with directions. I can't find the route you are talking about on google maps. Where do you pick up 40 and what cities/states does that have you going through? Thanks! I think I found it. Going that way would probably add a few more hours for us because we actually start out on 69, then 65 to 24, and then pick up 75 in Chatnooga.

Thanks! That might be worth it avoiding Atlanta. Oh, and we don't stop much, lol. The kids are used to traveling and I like to get where we are going ASAP. We stop for bathroom breaks every so often and then it's a 5 minute stop. I pack food and we eat in the van. I am not a patient person. :-[

How much extra time do you think it adds going 75 to 40 then 77 to 95? What route is it that tnbob suggests?

Thanks! Bookmarking that site now. :D

Do any of you drive from Michigan or up here anywhere to The Fort? We always go down on I 75. It usually takes us 19 hours of driving time. My questions are: #1 How much longer will it take to get there towing a 35ft TT? Maybe 4 hours longer? #2 Where would a good first day stopping place be if we left here at 5-6am? I was thinking between Nashville and Chatanooga? Without a TT we usually stop for the night just north of Atlanta. #3 How do you go about Atlanta? It is always stressful even without a TT. Do you usually go straight through, take the bypass, go waaay around? If you go straight

Thank you, thank you! :banana:

Am I reading right in your signature that you have 5, all girls? That's wonderful! We had 5 boys and then 1 girl. We aren't finding out what this one is. Yeah, we would never have considered flying down, it would be crazy expensive. We have been doing 2 rooms at WDW or squeezing into a cabin and it is getting so expensive, especialy since the discounts aren't as good anymore. Glad to hear your big family loves your TT. ;D

Thanks! :partythree:

Cool! We're going to need all of your advice!

Thank you both! It will be so much fun looking for other Fiends while we are down there are trips!

Thanks, I am just beyond myself excited to get it here. I've already posted 2 questions in the tech area. Thanks for that tip. I'll tell DH your advice. That would be so much fun! Are there many more of us? I'll be asking about good Michigan campgrounds soon! I am going to have questions for anyone up this way about getting the TT to WDW. I'll be posting that later in the getting to the fort area.

We did it! Dh talked them down to our price and put the deposit money down on our very first travel trailer! We'll go in later this week or next to sign the rest of the papers and see when we can bring it home. :heart: This is so exciting! We were up forever last night talking about all the fun we'll have with it. :banana: The biggest reason we are buying this is WDW and the Fort. It's our happy place, and this makes it so much more affordable for our big family. We plan to take at least two 2 week trips down there each year, if not more. We'll take it on a few other trips as well, but The

We'll see. If we get it or another one soon, I'm sure we're going to be really tempted to take it to The Fort. I don't want to count my chickens before they hatch though, trying not to get my hopes up too high. Although I think it's already too late for that. :panic:
