I just drove by there on Saturday, heading up to Milford to pick up a trailer for a friend. We are going to be either at otter lake or Timothy lake in late September, we love to hike up there.

I have a light strip on my awning like yours. We like that feature.

Yes we like it a lot. Have been coming up here for several years when we can.


I just wish they had 50 amp svc.


Owner (the old man, not the kid) says there is no business case to go to 50 amp svc. He is right in the sense that they place is always at or near capacity.

I have been doing this for almost 5 years now. Difference being I use it to adjust my hitch's air bags with the wireless controllers.

The wireless controller doesn't know if it is activating a compressor or a solenoid connected to a volume tank.

It won't win any beauty contests.. but was able to pay cash for it, so no payments!
Just need to find a 5th wheel hitch, and clean it up some..

Looks just fine. In fact you won't have the issue with scratches on the crome rims that I have.

Hey thanks guys !
This is an early 2011 (built Oct. 10) so I hope I don't have too many issues. That said, it has 300,000 kms / 187,000 miles. Figure he has the bugs worked out by now.. lol

I was in Bloomsbury NJ today so I thought I would stop by the TA truck stop and get weighed,
front axle 5160
rear axle 6540
total 11700

It weighed more than I thought but this is what it weighs on a daily basis, sometimes heavier but never lighter. At least I know I still have a lot of capacity left.
