That's what I am running into...Availability ;(

What are good campgrounds around Pigeon Forge, Tn?  Headed there for 4th of July.  Thanks so much.  We will be at the Fort in June. 

Bringing the family back for round 3 at the Fort....first week in June.....Can't wait....

We are coming on Easter Sunday....CAN'T WAIT

We loved 1400 loop last summer.  First week in June.  We have then 4 yr old and 8 yr old.

My family and I are looking at heading the Tn in early summer. Anybody have any favorites spots or rv parks they would recommend. Thanks so much.

We will be arriving Easter Sunday and staying the week. Should be there by 3pm if the duramax performs as advertised.

Sounds good. Our normal routine because our kids are morning people is to be there for rope drop at whatever park is seems best and we shoot for a 1pm exit back to camper. We usually have Park Hopper so we rest for the afternoon and sometimes head back to a park in the evening. We are touring plans believers also.

Looking for info.  How accurate are the Crowd Calendars out there.  We are planning Spring Break trip and are fully prepared for some crowds.  This will be our 4th trip and second to the Fort.  Last trip was cut short by father in law passing.  Anybody been there during Spring Break?  We are arriving Easter Sunday and staying the week.    Thanks for your help.

Just got GMC 2500HD.   Awesome.  The Allison tranny makes all the difference.  CrewCab with lots of rom for wife and 2 kids.

While I know everything is a crap shoot...what are some good sites on 1400?   Rolling the dice on faxing in request for trip coming up....small family...4 yr old and 8 yr old....

Thanks so much

ANybody ever use this at the Fort or is it better to show up and do it the normal way?

I will happily provide necessary stimulus for a quality hijack..... :rofl2:

Thanks. I had no idea the connections were universal. Learn something everyday...

Another question from a novice. Do I need to be equipped with multiple sizes? Are the spigots different sizes around the country etc? I mean bought regulator that's 5/8. Just realized hose is 1/2 in (don't judge . Not the sharpest tool sometimes. Thanks

Just wondering if I need a water pressure regulator at the Fort....

Wonderful!  Where are you going?

Camping at Fort Wilderness......

T-Minus 9 weeks and counting.....Can't wait for the inaugural trip for the Passport......

Seems like on paper it should work well.  Since we are planners anyway, laying out the days makes sense to us.  Seems like hitting one park early and using advance reservations for what will be our "evening" park makes the most sense since the FP+ are limited to a certain number per day.  May just be our family dynamic.

Been trying to call them for 3 days to reserve a cart.  ZERO RESPONSE....

I have priced out a new Sportchassis to haul our 5th wheel and sorry but I do not think they are worth the 150 thousand price tag, nice yes but not worth it.

Just curious....what did you see as the drawbacks?  We have looked at several "supertruck" type vehicles, F650, International MXT/CXT type stuff.

Thanks

This would be a great tow vehicle.... :rofl2:

We will be arriving on June 6th, if anyone is around feel free to visit...I actually plan to set up some cones and practice the back in with obstacles. We live in a area with lots of rooms so I figure that would be a good idea. Tow vehicle is a 3500 dodge dually....

I think the scouting with golf cart is definite must. We had already planned to unload cart as soon as we possibly could. While I know most campers are a patient lot...42ft is 42ft... And it will take a little time.....having grown up on a farm, I can drive backwards pretty well...BUT....I typically don't have loop full of spectators taking bets on the outcome.....

We will have a golf cart with us so I am not terribly concerned with distance from amenities and the like. I am thinking I may call the fort and just talk to them about rig size and the like. Then I am going to try the "faxing a week" out method for site requests. For the question above, no it is not the biggest one...there is one model bigger. We are not from Maryland. Coming from small town in southern alabama. Thanks for all the help and input. I really appreciate it.
