Sophies Dad

We had a nice stay.

I will say that I was disappointed to see so many kid's/young adults without parental supervision riding around on golf cart's not heeding the rules of the road.

I am by no means a prude whatsoever but C'mon people ( not directed towards any members, unless it was you ), bull lighting the deer and driving through the woods on golf cart's is bad form and quite disrespectful.

It has cleared out a bit since we got here last night.

We're in 806 which was kind of tight backing into with everyone parked everywhere.

Made it to the Fort a little later than expected but was given a rather nice large site in the 800 loop. The space between sites could be a bit more but not complaining since this was one of our chosen loops to begin with.

Thanks for all of the help. We look forward to an exciting week ahead during our first Fort trip.

After reading and searching the thread's regarding " Pet Loops & Non Pet Loops" I am as confused now as I was when I started the research.

We will be staying at Fort Wilderness starting the 11-28 through 12-04.

It will be DW, myself our 2 furry munchkins, as well as DIL and SIL and their 2 furry munchkins.

As this will be our first stay at FW we would like to not rile any feathers and follow the rules. However it seems as though ( from reading the forume ) there are no longer any deignated "Pet Loops" and people are being put, wherever-whenever is convenient.

My question to the FF brain trust, is.

Do we search the threads/videos and look for a Premium site that suites us regardless as to whether it is a pet loop or not?

Do we stick with the premium sites that are pet friendly only?

Any suggestion's on a decent site that isn't on to of the adjoining site?  I am not unsociable, however I prefer to have a little space between us and whoever our neighbors may be.

Thanks in advance.

Welcome. :10220:

My first time to WDW my DW chose for us to stay at POP. Partly because it was my first time to WDW and partly because I had a lot of blood sweat and tears that went into supplying those rather large dancing figures mounted to the outside of the building. :1sm056pullhair:

Enjoy your time on FF.

Look forward to reading about your first trip report to the fort.

If you don't mind...what is your make and model Sophies Dad?

Don't mind at all FinFinder.

It's a Columbus 340RK ( Rear Kitchen ) made by Palomino. ( Forest River ). Wish it would have the outdoor kitchen like the one you have. That will be a future offseason mod.

Love the kitchen layout!  I've always been a fan of the "end" kitchens - seems like you end up with more counter/cabinet space than you usually get with the kitchen along a side wall.  We tried to find one when we shopped for our current camper, but we couldn't find one in a unit that also had the bunk space we needed for the mutts.

Thanks.

When we went looking for 5ers we hadn't given rear kitchens much though as we were focused on rear living and rear entertainment floor plans, until we came across this model which sealed the deal for us. The rear kitchens feel so much more spacious than the others we looked at.

Thanks to everyone for posting. Everyone should be proud of their set up's, they are all beaut's.

 I am a firm believer that if it keeps one out of the house and allows one to enjoy the out of doors, then that means the " Honey Doo's " can wait another week. :rofl2:  :rofl2:

Here is a pic of our new rolling kitchen.

And our bedroom.

Funny you mention the tow mirrors.

DW and I were talking on our way home from picking up the new 5er when I had a brain toot. Us camper & tenter people's aught to fold in and fold back out, our elephant ear's when passing another camper as a way of waving.

Kinda like the low hand wave motorcycle riders give each other when passing one another.

  ^^^^ Congrats on your new to you TT.

Bout time. Where is the launch located, and do they have a hoist? ;D

Whadya expect? It perfectly satisfies the quote above. It gets me away from my hum drum daily grind, or as I call it, my home.

 

Besides, I don't have an RV and didn't want to be left out.

 

Wouldn't want you feeling, sidelined and all.. :rofl3: seeing as you have a front row seat to the 'World of Happy "

I'm pretty sure my dad's 350 gets almost better gas milage than my mini van, that thing sucks!

 

Just think of your mini van as a mini class A. :rofl3:

Your new setup looks awesome! Congrats!

 

Thank's

Nice! I love looking at campers/RVs of all kinds. I guess because I'm weird, but most of you are too. 

 

I'll take pics of mine soon. 

 

I didn't know about the facebook trick. I thought someone talked about a link by right clicking, but I could never find it. 

 

I joined Photo Bucket, then just copied the photos from there to my clip board and pasted them to the thread.

You can sign up for either as a free member or if you are on facebook you can right click on an image and select copy image, then right click on the post here and paste.

Thanks. I went the copy and paste route.

Our rig serves 2 purposes....family vacations and dirt bike racing/riding

Nice looking toy hauler. We contemplated going the TH route seeing as how much we enjoy hunting and fishing, but decided against it.  We didn't want to become the hauler of all things everyone else's.

You will love your truck. I bought mine new in 2012 I have 19,000 miles on it now and nothing but good to say about it. Plenty of power 6th gear going up hill gaining speed pulling our toy hauler.

I have only had it a week so far and am already liking it more than the F150. The ride is surprisingly smoother than the F150 and my fuel economy not towing is better than the Ecoboost I traded. The steering will take some getting used to as it isn't as crisp or tight as the electronic steering on the F150. Other than that I am enjoying the heck out of going diesel.

Looks nice

Thanks

Looks great.  Nice and clean.  Did you get something nicer or going for a different approach to exploring the great outdoors?

 Thanks.

We went a slightly larger and nicer route.

After camper shopping and realizing we needed a smidgen more payload and towing capacity we drove to Memphis ( last week ) and traded  the F150 in on a new to us, very clean, well kept & low mileage F350

Yesterday we took delivery of our first 5th wheel, a 2014 Columbus 340 RK.

Got it finally

I thought it would be  to post pictures of our rig's.  Seeing as most everyone likes to see peruse pictures of other's rigs, as well as get idea's for their own set up.

Pictures can be of whatever conveyance one uses to help accomplish leaving the hum drum of the daily grind behind.

Whether it be a single person tent to a  land yacht, post em up.

Here is our last ( traded her in on sat ) rig that brought us many happy moments and very few heart break's, other than the hitching and unhitching part.

This was at a local campground that we like to visit as it is rather close ( 20 miles ) which allows us the opportunity to drop off the camper then go back and pick up the boat without it becoming a big ordeal.

My apologies for the pic's being so small. I am in the learning stages as to how this forum operates.

I'll be sure to take some tomorrow along with the new 5th wheel.

I'll start a new thread so as not to detract or derail from this one if that's ok?

Congrats on your new wheel's.

We just picked ours up last week.
