Thank you! :)

How do you know, if it is the "factory tow package"? I'm guessing that's different, than if someone just installed a hitch (or is it called the receiver??)??

Thanks... just sent her a msg :)

You know you're a redneck.... if found this funny :rofl3:

Man I love you.... :)

That's a really great reminder...thank you Tim. We we definitely keep this in mind, when choosing the vehicle.

Individual...

I've booked our last two trips through AAA so...I don't think Disney can look at the reservation (or at least that's what they've told me in the past when I've called). What I'll do, is advise our AAA agent and ask him to update the reservations from notes indicating a tent to a hybrid. When we were there last week, there was a small hard shelled camper in the 1500 loop so, fingers crossed that it's not an issue....

We're doing a final inspection on a hybrid this weekend; praying all goes well as I think we've finally found something that's a really good fit for our family. :) Now, it's onto a tow vehicle. As the trailer is light (under 4000 lbs), we've decided to look at an SUV. We think the space will work best for us. We are considering the following (any input from my fiends, would be warmly appreciated) all used with 75K-125K miles: Nissan Armada Lincoln Navigator Chevy Tahoe Infiniti QX56 My favorite is the Armada (I like the style and size), but Tom has found several decently priced Naviga

Thanks for the feedback! That's a good idea. I'll call and adjust our reservations to reflect the hybrid, just to make sure that we're "covered". Our next trips our scheduled for May & October, so it looks like we'll miss you this time around. Have fun in August!! :)

Hey Fiends, We have two more visits planned to The Fort this year; both are for a tent loop however....we have found a Hybrid trailer that we think will work for our family. My question is, can we park a Hybrid in a tent site? This past week, we did see a couple of small trailers in the 1500 loop so, I think it's okay but...was wondering if anyone knew "for sure". Thanks!!

I think we'll just get a semi and call it a day

Maybe we'll just stick with our tent :laugh:

:bump2:

That's the thing... we're trying to figure all of this out. IF we want a TT (we're also looking at class C's and just a good ole' PUP), it sounds like you might be better off finding the trailer THEN the truck. But again... our fiend said her father had a truck rated to pull his trailer and it didn't work. Can you "test drive" a trailer at a lot? I had never thought of that before...then again, this is ALL new to us :)

Haha... that didn't help me much, but I did google it and found this: The wheelbase of a vehicle equals the distance between its front and rear wheels. So, it makes sense that an Expedition would have a longer wheel base, as it's a longer vehicle. What gets me, is the one fiend (Carol I think it may have been) who said her father had a truck that was rated to pull the trailer that he purchased...but it didn't work. So... how do you know? When you go to buy a trailer....should you hook it up and "test drive" it first? And even then...for how long and I'm guessing up hills if possible?

What does that mean? Sorry... I know that's probably a really basic question

:yaysmilesa-smiley: Congrats!

Thanks for the feedback fiends! :)

Haha... I know, right?! :) We're in a tent, so if we have nothing but rain the last couple of days, we would probably opt to go home.

If you end up leaving early, can you ask Disney for a refund on the night (or nights) you did not stay?

That's our hiccup with a class C... but with two little ones, the pro for the class C, is access to the camper while driving so... this is why we keep going back and forth. As of yet, when we camp, we don't leave the campsite and explore the area... but, then I keep thinking "what if want to?"...that WOULD BE a hassle with a class C. See... lots of back and forth and our house

Yay!!! I've been thinking about you and praying the trip went wonderful! Have a GREAT time!! :)

Thanks Ray! :)

Agreed! :)
