Back in the early 80's I remember our club member price for the campground being $18 night for a preferred site......oh yea....that was the week leading up to Christmas. Ahhhh, the good ole days.

Camping World in Statesville is enclosed with fence and they lock the gate after closing. Don't think it would be an option for staying over night.

Our longest stay was 101 nights. Come back every winter.....wouldn't stay anywhere else.

We are on our 3rd Jayco rv. There's been a few issues but all have been handled well. Whatever model you choose I think one of the deciding factors should be finding a dealer you trust to give you a fair price and will be there for warranty work. We chose a local dealer and it has worked well.

What you have--- 5th wheel, Pinnacle kpts Tow vehicle--- single axle semi How heavy--- combined weight over 26,000 lbs. (yes, we both have CDL's) Gas mileage-- 6-8 towing, 10 without trailer Like, love, hate--- Love the 5th wheel. Semi for a tow vehicle is husbands choice. Definitely feels safer. Sits higher to give more visibility, and of course more stopping power. This is our perfect set up. We started out with truck campers ( way too small ) moved up to a MH ( great for traveling but it sure had maintenance issues....always something in the powert

Why haven't they fixed that 100 loop comfort station?? It was hot hot last winter and I thought someone had just set it too warm. I can't imagine what it's like in the summer. Has anyone called housekeeping and complained? If its still too warm when we return this winter I'm gonna be speed dialing housekeeping several times a day complaining.

Update!! Yesterday, the carpet felt dry to the touch and seemed o.k. This morning I was down on my hands and knees crawling all over my carpet and I'm thrilled to say that I didn't find one spot sticky!! Sure seems like the manufacture should put this warning and fix on the label of the plastic. Perhaps RV dealers know about this cure?? One certainly hopes they treat the carpets before being sold.

You know the stuff I'm talking about. All the RV dealers use it in the new campers to protect the carpet from foot traffic. I've seen it in hundreds of models on the RV lot. I figured, if they use it.....it must be ok. WRONG!!! Over the past 37yrs we have owned just about every type of RV. Truck camper, motorhome, and 5th wheels. 2yrs. ago we did something we'd never done before. We bought a brand new....ordered through the factory 5th wheel. We were thrilled and wanted to protect our "baby". So, I put that plastic adhesive clear covering down. When our vacation was over....

I was there in the mid 90's I think the Japanese are very respectful in most cases. They were very obviously absent back them. I'm glade they now include the memorial as part of their tourist activities.

Visiting Pearl Harbor and the memorial is a very moving experience. Thanks for bringing those memories back to me. There are no words that I can use to describe how it feels to stand on that memorial over the ship and watch the oil bubble out. Hawaii is a popular vacation destination for the Japanese. They are everywhere on the islands. Except for Pearl Harbor. Nope, not one Japanese tourist did we see .

I've had one for several yrs. Love it. Wouldn't be without one. I like my beverages to be ice cold . Period. Tried the refrigerator.....but all my produce was freezing by the time I got my adult beverages cold enough. We spend 4 months every yr. in our RV. So it made sense to buy an ice machine. Mine come from Target. Current price is around $159. It goes on sale often for $139 or less! Don't buy more expensive ones....as said before....they are all made by the same company....including the one camping world has for $299. Now....the negatives.....It's noisy. You hear the pump suc

Carrot cake cookie is available at the Writers shop near the Muppets!

The price for the meals you are planning will be high.....both out of pocket or dining plan for 9 days. Your restaurant choices include several buffets or all you can eat meals. These are great choices! However, for us eating big heavy meals everyday would get old. Our stomachs would need a break with lighter food. For me, I'd make reservations at many of the restaurants you chose but I'd do it out of pocket. Some days you could eat light----maybe breakfast and a dinner of hot dogs or burgers at the RV or chicken take out dinner from Trails Inn at night. This not only would light

Hmmmm....... since I haven't learned to read yet, I don't know what you are talking about

We were there for the leap day all nighter last year. Here's a pick of my husband when we were leaving at 6:14am.

Have you considered the 7 day cruise around the islands? That's what we did several years ago. It's a different cruise line today......I believe its Norwegian now. It was a great way to experience 5 different islands without a lot of plane hopping or hotel switching. Rent a car on each island and see the sights. Second Mama's fish house after the road to Hana. Yes, I got car sick going to Hana but was ok coming back and the sights (waterfalls) were amazing. On the cruise ship we went by the volcano's after dark and seen the red lava flowing into the ocean. I would do the cruise ag

Wow.....how have I missed this thread? We arrived Nov. 25th and leave Mar 3.

My first visit was over Christmas in 1980 with my DH and 8 month old son. We pulled in without a reservation and got a site! Try doing that today without reservations booked a year in advance.

Question for anyone who has made a Minnie lamp.....How do you attach the bow to her head? Double stick tape? Or?

Northern Pioneers group was formed just a couple yrs ago. I'm wondering if the CM was talking about the old winter settler rates? They were before my snowbird days. I believe snowbirds could lock in discounted rates for several years. Once those good ole days were over someone came up with the idea to form a club and get a group rate for those who want to spend more than 30 continuous days at FW.

We've stayed at Huntington Beach a couple of times. Nice quiet park. There are a couple different loops. One is open with lots of sun....the back loop has more trees and ground cover. Roads are paved, sites are gravel. Brand new shower house in the back loop. Can't beat the price for Myrtle Beach area. The MB state park is more centrally located---you also get to listen to the planes come and go from the airport next door. What I didn't like about MB state park was how tight the loops were. Lots and lots of trees to navigate also. Our rig is to big for those conditions.

We have Direct TV with a free standing dish. Have always been able to get a signal. Sometimes you have to be creative......bring lots of cable in case you have to set the dish a ways from your RV.

I don't have a forever mug. I will be filling my new mug with POP. Yep, add Ohioans to the list of pop drinkers.

We are currently in our "off season". AKA working hard all summer so we can play later. Come winter we will head to Florida and spend a week at Sebastian Inlet State Park, St. Lucie South COE park in Stuart Fl. for 12 days. We've never been to either of these campgrounds---Anyone have any experience with them? Christmas will find us in Fort Myers. Planning to celebrate the New Year at the Fort. Head back north sometime in March.
