Man those were all great and many of the reasons I'm thinking about making this my last camping season for awhile. As Loudram stated, please do us all a favor and be mindful of them so we can enjoy our camping trip too.

At the top of that list for me is people who think they need to leave their bright, annoying led lights on at night, especially the ones on the nose of the trailer so it lights up the site across the street so much you can't even enjoy a campfire, same with awning lights or curb side lights. If your afraid of the dark stay in the city. Lol.

Sorry guys...that's a big one for me....the total lack of parenting these days is also hitting new highs (or lows as it is). Kids running around, yelling, acting up, rude, parents no where to be found or act like they dont care.

I really am getting old. Starting to sound like I remember my grandparents talk.lol....

Who knows? With the coronavirus, now the war in Ukraine, the state of the world in general, Russia talking about readying nukes, etc, maybe Jesus will come back soon? When He does my camper will be vacant and available.

We just got 4 inches...it melted every where but the shade. 6 to 8 tomorrow.

The big issue right now is the frost is out of the ground...so MUD.

Hate ripping up our camping spots with 15000 pounds of combination.

The only thing I dislike about a HeftyDuty...they sink in the soft Earth

Same in my neck of the woods sir, total mud/sponge pit.

The last two years have been the worst we've seen. The corona campers don't know much about camping manners.

Excellent list, they forgot to add locking and unlocking your vehicle doors all day long with the horn activating each time.

Yes sir, that's my experience as well.

They also forgot - tell your wife to be mindful of her language, especially when you're backing in the spot.

In about a month, all the Snowbirds are going to pack up & get out of the Southern California an Arizona Deserts
They will head north about 1,000 plus miles until October & then come South again

Too cold? Nah.
We downsized from the Gulfstream 31USSS to this Coachman 223RBS. It’s about 13’ shorter and can fit most anywhere.

Yes, the other guy there is tenting.

 

[GsRAM]

Wow, now that's impressive! Awesome and beautiful mountains.

Winter with the new trailer vs. summer with the old trailer.

And AMEN! Its always great to find another evangelical in online forums.

The weather is getting nicer out. I just cleaned out and reorganized my front pass thru. I got rid of the cheap white water hoses for a new hose.

I thought about getting a Zero G but I heard too many bad things about them. The two main issues are that they leak from under the fittings and they can develop mold because it's hard to get all the water out of them.

The hose I ended up getting is the Fitt Force Pro. It comes in 50' lengths and it stores flat when not in use. I have it wrapped up on a cord reel and I set it in a kitty litter pan I bought at Walmart in case it drips. But rolling it up gets most of the water out of it. Amazon carries it but I bought it at Home Depot.

Presents an innovative technology that guarantees high resistance to various stresses combined with exceptional lightness. With proprietary technology, double NTS PLUS mesh reinforcement, our hose offers

It takes up very little room and I freed up enough space to put my grill in the pass thru. The pass thru is on the smaller side due to the under bed storage.



Here's the video of the guy that recommended this hose.

Very nice LR. I like your thought proccess with that purchase and the application and benefits. Very cool that it stores flat. Any remaining water/ debris from storage would flush out when you put the hose in service before connecting it to the trailer. The cord reel storage idea is also great.

I would appreciate feedback as you use it more if it holds its flat shape when not in use and if you can continue to wrap it on the reel without it twisting as it ages. Thanks .agsin

My son and i went to the forest yesterday. Sites are drying up nicely. No snow or ice. And then today it rains...but, almost time to camp.

Spent the weekend in Rothrock SF. Mother Nature played her silly Pennsylvania Games.

Last pic is the view from campsite 2

Man that is awesome DD! Great pics! Beautiful scenery and yes....typical, March stuff in PA.

 

[star_deceiver]

The snow is disappearing fast. This is one of the few year-round campgrounds. Most everything else opens in May.

 

[GsRAM]

Great pics star! Beautiful country up there. I like seeing those big mountains in the background. Good stuff.

we sold our Northstar 850 sc truck camper and bought a Cougar 22 mls tt that's still sitting at the dealers storage lot.i'll be picking it up in the next few weeks then we head out for our first trip as soon as the lakes ice off.early May,hopefully.time for some boondocking/fishing.we live lakeside but our lake is usually one of the last in the area to ice off,and we get too impatient.you guys that use impact guns instead of a normal drill to lower your stabilizers in the middle of the night/sunrise and run your construction size genny all night,so you can blast your country music till 3 am,eat a bag of d!x.
