  1. The gentlemen in the 1200 loop had put some up and it looked like he was in the process. The wife and I talked with the guy in the 1100 loop today and he's going to put more up. It's already very nice. The "walk around" site is in the 1600 loop. He has some up but it's not quite finished. It looked like he was working on the tent portion behind his RV. There were a lot of new campers today and we noticed several of them were decorating. A couple sites in the 900 loop had some. Nothing like December will look like but it seems each day a few more good sites pop up. From all of the looping we d
  2. That's the first I've heard of that. I don't recall them asking the year model of our TT. Although the wife does all of our reservations. I've seen some nice older rigs there.
  3. This is our first trip so take it for what it’s worth. We’re in 916 and it’s been great. It backs up to the ditch (wouldn’t want it during mosquitoe season). The wildlife has been spectacular. Seen more turkeys (11) and deer (6) behind our site than I would have imagined. Even had 3 gobblers camped out by the truck when we returned from the park today. There are a few kids in the loop but around 8-8:30 it gets spooky quiet. Our neighbors have been great. The only time it was noisy was Saturday and mid-morning Sunday when the Cub Scouts we’re camping and they weren’t bad. The open area for ten
  4. So as I’m reading this I need to stay in the far right hand lane (beside the grass) where the buses travel (use to travel) and the exit for the Fort will be BEFORE the toll plaza. Essentially, I don’t have to go thru the toll plaza. This will be our 1st trip to the Fort in 2 weeks and I want to make sure I’m in the right lane.
  5. Its actually in Orange Beach, AL and about 10 minutes from the beach. The Wharf entertainment/shopping area is 2 minutes away across the toll bridge. There are to many things to list as far as activities and great restaurants. Our favorite restaurants are The Original Oyster House, Lu-Lu's and Bahama Bob's. Bob's is a hole-in-the-wall restaurant and has very little parking but the service and food is excellent. The RV park is great. Big level pads, 30&50 amp, cable, pool, activity center, clean bath house with several washers and dryers. The staff is excellent. I'll post the site bel
  6. This is a nice COE on the Alabama River in Montgomery. There are 2 sections (new with level concrete pads and full hookup. The old one with gravel pad with electrical and water). Also has boat ramp
  7. Thanks for the help Grumpy and Diesel. I just got through looking at Sun RV Resort right before I came back here. It seems like a good place to stop for the night.
  8. Thanks for the reply Lone-Star. We will be getting on I-10 in Cottondale Fl. We will need power for the a/c since we're going the first of November and it can still be warm then. I'm mainly looking for around a 2 hour trip to the Fort from where we stop.
  9. I know this is an old post but...we're heading down in November. I'm looking for a place off of I-75 for overnight. Preferably before the Florida Turnpike. We will get on I-75 from I-10 east. TIA for any suggestions.
  10. I guess Apple is taking their sweet time in approving/uploading to the store. Still can't find it for version 11.4.
  11. Thanks for all the help went with the LT Nitto Grappler G2
  12. Thanks for all of the replies. Please keep them coming as I'm still researching and learning. One question I do have is the "D" rating shows the max load pressure is 65 psi and the "E" rating shows 80 psi. Is this the cold pressure psi or the max psi each tire should have before the tire is over inflated? I understand you have to have these psi's to obtain the load capacity for each rating. I just don't want to run them over inflated and cause a problem.
  13. I'm new to camping and pulling a TT so I apologize if this question has been asked. I've searched for the past few hours and just can't find the answer. I have a 2005 Chevy 1500 Z71 that needs new tires. The tires I have on it are Bridgestone Dueler A/T size P265/70/R17. I have aluminum rims. The rating on the tire side wall says 113S; 2535 lbs at 44 psi max. The front GAWR is 3925 lbs and the rear GAWR is 3750 lbs. My TT has a max weight of 7600 lbs. Vehicle GVWR is 13,000. I purchased the TT new last March and didn't have any problem towing the TT with these tires. With all of that said, I'v
  14. It might be because we're new to camping but the wife and I visit this site at least every other day if not every day. We just started camping because we were at a softball field 3 out of 4 weekends a month from the end of February to the first of November the last six years. Although we have been to Disney several times. Now that our daughter is playing college ball and we're not traveling all over the southeast we plan on going to the Fort at least twice a year, depending on how our daughter's team does. So here's to the Fort, the Fiends and a prayer Disney will be nice and lower their costs
  15. Ditto. The wife saw them when we were riding around. Could you also PM me with the info? Thanks in advance.
  16. We had a great time. The wife and daughter really enjoyed all of the decorations. The web doesn't do any of the sites justice. I think in loop 1600, the last two sites on the right where you could walk around one and the last site before you left that loop, were just awesome. I overheard the lady putting up the lights telling someone from the Fort (I believe) she still had 2,000 lights to put up. Wow!! Can't wait to start camping at the Fort. Oh, and by the way, Trails End was just delicious. Thanks for all of the tips. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Scott, Sherry and Schylur.
  17. We made it. Thanks for the replies they helped a bunch. Especially about the cart. Ready to eat at Trails End and see some sites. Merry Christmas all.
  18. We are at Wilderness Lodge and are planning on going to the Fort tomorrow. We will be taking the bus and I guess it drops off at the settlement. What bus route do we take to go to the Outpost so we can get the cart we've reserved? What are the best loops to see Christmas decorations? Thanks for your help. Can't wait to get our first TT next month and start camping at the Fort.
