  1. We feed our sensitive-tummied greyhounds the lamb and rice from Costco, they are doing really well on it. I originally went with the Grain-free food from Costco but my black dogs dandruff was awful with that, plus dogs are omnivores and don't really believe dogs need to be grain-free unless there's a proven medical reason. We also give raw turkey necks. I'd love to do all raw, but I'm already feeding a husband and three kids... so no more time in the kitchen just for dogs
  2. This is great! I have to admit to quickly skimming and scrolling past the pictures as i don't want to see everything before our visit. This is not helping contain my excitement... two weeks until the RV rolls out of the driveway and heads west!
  3. Oh I can't wait to read more. We are leaving the day after Christmas for a three-month RV trip out West and arriving at Anaheim RV Resort on January 2 staying until the 10th. My husband and oldest son were at Disneyland this past summer and I can't wait for the rest of us to visit.
  4. What you have (i.e. Class A, TT, 5th wheel): 2014 40' Forest River Berkshire DP If you're towing (so TT or 5th wheel) how heavy is it: If you tow, what is your tow vehicle: 2002 Ford Explorer (the old girl has 160,000 miles on her and we think she's dying... or will die on our upcoming 3-month trip our West so I'm starting to think about our next TOAD. We need something that flat tows, fits 2 adults, 3 kids and (sometimes) 2 tall dogs). Gas mileage: 8-9 MPG Do you like it, love it or hate it (this applies to both the tow vehicle and what you're towing (or driving if Class A or C): LOVE LO
  5. SERIOUSLY?!?! They were allowed to get away with that.
  6. We have three kids too (11, 10, and 7) and just upgraded to a new 2014 Forest River Berkshire 400BH. We traded in our 2007 Tiffin Zephyr (which was a larger coach) but the floorplan was less than ideal for a family of 5, who also travel with 2 big dogs. Before the Zeph we had a TT that we loved (it had a bunkhouse) but we wanted a MH. We realized with the MH that we wanted bunks again, it makes it sooooo much easier than folding all the couches out each night. So whatever model you choose, definitely think about floorplan and sleeping space. I've also seen some lovely Super C's with bunks. Eve
  7. I agree with site 316. We spent two weeks on that site at Christmas (in a 45' MH) and it was perfect. In a smaller trailer or MH some of the other sites looked nice also. 316 backed up to the comfort station, easy walk to the dog park and bus stop and also to the marina if you wanted.
  8. So we have two weeks booked at the Fort for Thanksgiving and also at Christmas. We hadn't really made firm plans yet but wanted to make sure we were covered. Our original plan was to just do Thanksgiving and then call it a season for camping (we live in PA). We just purchased a new Class A the beginning of the summer but now we are thinking about getting the most out of the new coach, canceling Thanksgiving, heading down the day after Christmas (kids want to spend Christmas day at home this year... last year we were at the Fort) and then doing a two-month trip through the south, maybe working
  9. Yes, that Tiffin support is one of the positives for us. My husband has actually spoken with Bob Tiffin on the phone about a problem we were having once, not sure if we could get Warren Buffet on the phone. I've been on both the FR and Tiffin owners boards, but I was thinking their input would be biased.
  10. So now that our kids are a little older we've decided to downsize our motorhomen (currently a 2007 Tiffin Zephyr) and get one with bunks, so we aren't just piling three kids in a bed each night. We've narrowed it down to the Forest River Berkshire 400BH or the Tiffin Phaeton QKH. We have a good price from a dealer to the Berkshire and are waiting to see if the Tiffin dealer can match something similar, which might make our decision easier but in the meantime we can't make up our minds. We've done the pros and cons (we like the floorplan of the Berkshire a tad better... which is really importa
  11. We've stayed at Stone Mountain twice and really like it there. Peaceful but still stuff to do. Nice pool also.
  12. I wouldn't worry about it for a while. We were there for two weeks at Christmas last year and it took several different bookings to piece is all together, and I started booking in March and it was October or November until I finally got all of the dates we needed. Closer to the date people will cancel. We have 3 weeks at thanksgiving and 2 weeks at Christmas booked, we aren't sure what our travel plans are yet so one of those will be cancelled... closer to the time. I know lots of other people book the Fort that far in advance just to secure the sites, just because we know what a pain the Disn
  13. We towed our 36' TT with a suburban, which probably made it about as long as our MH, not WAY longer. Like I said, we fit in a preferred along with several other coaches of similar size. But like I also said, we are switching to premium for future visits. But I wouldn't rule out preferred if it was our only option.
  14. We have gotten our 45' MH into a preferred site (300 loop) with no problem. But for future trips we've booked premium. We lucked out with site 316 which is more paved that other preferred sites we saw, I'd totally take that site again, but wouldn't risk getting another. Driving around the loop in the coach was pretty cozy though.
