Loop/Site Advice for Mom of 3 Toddlers
Helmsey......Todd replied to sslkrissi's topic in Fort Wilderness Loops Information
First off....WELCOME! What class of site do you have booked? Since you mentioned 800 loop is it safe to assume premium site? -
Fans of Mulch Sweat and Shears

I for one an happy about this. Hopefully when we are there in October we can catch them. -
I know this thread is old but since Dollywood was mentioned I wanted to post this update. According to a local news article Dollywood began bag checks on 3/21/206 http://www.wbir.com/news/local/dollywood-hires-third-party-to-perform-bag-checks/106226645

Have you looked at Topsial Hill State Park? Kelly has a couple TR's from there and it looks very nice. -

Would it be possible you could "schedule" the time you are driving through ATL? If so that would help a ton. When we are headed through (towing or not) I try to shoot for 9:30am - 11:00am and I will take 75 strait through. There are times I will use the HOV lane if traffic dictates but usually it isn't needed. I always stay in the 2nd lane from the right and after each time 75 merges I will move over 1 lane to the left. We can generally get through fairly easy doing that. Obviously if you aren't able to hit ATL at a desired time your experience would be different.

It's in the top right below the "unread content" link. I had to refresh the page a couple times before it came up, but I finally saw this: -
Minimum Stay
Helmsey......Todd replied to Travisma's topic in General Camping Discussion and Questions
One thing that we do for shorter trips (Nacole touched on this) is easy food. If we are only going for 2 nights I don't want to spend hours cooking\eating\cleaning up that I could be doing something else. We will usually just have cereal for breakfast, quick sammich and chips for lunch and MAYBE precook something nice to have for dinner on Saturday night. Since we have started doing this it has made the short trips a little more enjoyable. -
Minimum Stay
Helmsey......Todd replied to Travisma's topic in General Camping Discussion and Questions
It's hard for me to get excited for a 1 night trip. Even if I don't do a big "setup" outside there is still a lot of work to do for one night. For weekend (2 night trips) about 3 hours is my limit and that might be stretching it a little. We are pretty lucky and have a LOT of campgrounds in the 1 hour range from us so for a weekend more times than not we wont travel more than that. -

Spring "cleaning"
Helmsey......Todd replied to twiceblessed....nacole's topic in RV Repairs on the Road, at FW and Elsewhere
I agree annually is likely overkill but I like to know what the bearings look like. When we had our new axles installed I checked the bearing after getting home from the dealer and they were almost dry, I had to add a good amount of grease to all of them. -

Spring "cleaning"
Helmsey......Todd replied to twiceblessed....nacole's topic in RV Repairs on the Road, at FW and Elsewhere
I use 303 on tires, black trim, and slide seals. Make sure your spray for the slide motor\gears is "dry" and will not attract dirt. If that is the case you can also use that for your stab jacks. I would add check\pack wheel bearing and adjust brakes :)
