  1. I may have to look into a DVC membership for this one. I do hope they change the parking lot plan, though
  2. Niche manufacturers like New Horizons, Spacecraft, Sundowner, etc still turn out exceptional quality, but they are pricey. I've wanted to get under a Grand Design 5'er but haven't seen one on a lot yet. I've heard good things.
  3. I've seen a lot of these Lippert frames with mods like that. They are bad about cracking above the spring hangers. The hanger puts a lot of flex into the I-beam in a way it is not designed to take. IMHO, the way to do it right is to box the beam in on both sides with plate. One huge reason I haven't bought a newer toyhauler is frame quality. Our KZ (now made by Thor) has a frame made of stacked rectangular tubing. It's way better than an I-beam frame.
  4. Very sorry you had problems. Unfortunately, most rv' s are built inferior. I own a metal fabrication business, and if we turned out work like the rv industry does we'd be out of business. When I look at the frames of most new rv's I'm astounded at the lack of quality.
  5. Wow! Such beautiful scenery....cant wait to make the trek west with the family. Great TR!
  6. Subscribed! We are going to do this trip next year or the year after.
  7. Don't think that is a thing any longer. None of my Fords have had it. Newer diesels can be primed with the in tank pump that supplies the high pressure pump or HEUI injectors.
  8. Now if they will develop a set of pants to use with a princess meet and greet they may be onto something
  9. I know which site you are talking about. Their pull through sites are weird. They just paved together multiple old sites to make them. We stayed on P6 a few weeks ago.
  10. We live in Gadsden and camp there often. We too have a 40' 5th. I have my favorite sites and some that I will not attempt. The new Black Creek trails are great. The campground is usually not too crowded and is well run. I love to camp there after heavy rains. You listen to the falls and rapids all night long. Next time that you are passing through to camp give us a shout.
  11. I am almost there myself. My son is just about ready to take the training wheels off of his CRF 50. Once that happens we will be loading up the toyhauler.
  12. That's a sweet little rig. It would be great for national forest and national park campgrounds too.
  13. We get "discounts" too through work, but they are usually the same or worse than what is posted on Undercover Tourist. I've never used them.
  14. I hate parking fees at any hotel. I feel that I am already paying to stay there why should I pay to park there....just another example of nickel and dime tactics. Nobody should be surprised Disney is pulling this one, after all of the other increases, surge pricing, amenity reductions, etc. It will only change when people stop going. But with all of the new attractions opening I don't see a demand issue in the future.
  15. That's what this is. Any type of activity is a disturbance to a wetland. I used to do wetland delineation. They will probably bring in an all terrain rig to do the borings and blow counts. They could lay down road base or use mud mats. Wetland delineation is usually done on foot with a hand auger. They will or have already know exactly how many acres of wetland will be destroyed, and they will buy credits in a mitigation bank.
  16. Other than the loss of the stables and cluster of a parking lot I really like those old plans. I wouldn't mind taking the golf cart up to the settlement and then walking around the resort. We do the same thing now at WL. But that parking lot is horrendous AF.
  17. I may bring my own chairs next time. I have room in the toyhauler, and the backseat of my golf cart folds down to make a storage bed. I wonder how many looks I would get when I unloaded my own chair?
  18. They could have a thrill ride based on a doctor who is jailed for murdering his wife. You could be in a car chasing the man with one arm.
  19. Max psi is taken cold. The tire will build psi when heated up. This is normal and engineered into the cold rating. Just don't run cold psi above what your wheel is rated. Aluminum wheels will crack and fail in a spectacular fashion if overloaded/overinflated.
  20. I always prefer a LT tire over a P rated tire. Even if you run the same pressure they seem to tow better IMHO. You definitely can feel a difference in construction when you handle them unmounted. Your rims should be stamped with the max pressure. It may be on the backside or somewhere along the bead area. Take a good look when the old tires are broken down and removed. I would bet it's at least 65 or 80 psi
  21. My earliest memories of WDW are probably from 1980 or 81. But I do remember a lot of what used to be. Those old metal rental strollers with the blue folding canopy were my preferred means of transport. I sure do miss the white sands beaches all along the lake and in front of the MK. They sure did make the place look good.
  22. I believe the price...... If it's the mass produced, frozen stuff. I've had their flatbread. It wasn't bad but definitely not high dollar food. I actually liked eating there. I'd probably pay that for a buffet
  23. Back when we had a 24' TT I liked site 227. It is at an angle and doesn't have anyone on the door side of the site.
