heathrm, I don't know where you are located (fill in your info in the "User CP") but ExPAcamper you need to hitch up and head South Brother! We already have our first trip of the season on the books, pulled out on March 10th through 300 miles of steady snowfalling and high winds to swing through Columbus OH on our way to Nashville TN, total run was 830 miles.
We are going to be down around DC in April (20th-23rd in Cherry Hill Park campground) if anyone wants to meet up.

 

Dang it, Tom, that's no help! LOL

We're chomping at the bit, but have some things to get done first.

The new cooling unit for the fridge and the new tires arrived yesterday. I spent the day with a relative at the ER yesterday and we're all fighting the Plague here

If I can kick enough of it to get outside tomorrow, I'm going to pull the fridge and get it to the garage to get started on it. Likely wait until Thursday to start pulling wheels, servicing wheel bearings, and getting the new tires mounted.

We did get the electric jack installed. Still have LED scare light, bathroom fan to replace, some other odds and ends as we move things from our old camper to this one.

But once the fridge is fixed and the new tires are mounted, who knows!

First thing I did was check the dates you posted. My daughter has a karate tournament April 22, so can't make it then...keep tempting us, though and we'll load the grill

 

We were just working on our plan for July, through Mammoth Park, Nashville, and to the Crater Diamond Park in AR. Didn't pick the Nashville stuff yet

 

Is it bad that we are wanting to hook up and go too? We just got the TH back from warranty work and switched everything over to it. We are leaving today for a quick trip to Dallas and back to surprise my oldest for his birthday. As soon as we get back we put the big trailer in the shop for it's warranty work. Looks like we could be back in the TH for several weeks until the big one is done.

 

It seems like there is always something that pops up. That is a pretty good drive from MD to TX. I have made that run several times. I never minded traveling the roads heading out west. It always made the trip more enjoyable to get away from the crazy traffic of the east-coast.

Thanks, it should show up now. Somehow missed a box.

 

Sounds perfectly healthy to me

 

New wd hitch should be in before the weekend, so I should be able to get it set up and fine tuned before our next outing over Easter weekend.

Once I get this rig towing right, it's going to get as much use as possible this summer.

 

Nice-looking rigs, gang. I sold my trailer a while back and am itching to get another one after graduation and starting work again.

 

Many great looking rigs here guys! The weather is warming up and it's time to get out camping!

 

Flashback from last camping trip last yr......

 

South Dakota badlands?

 

Glendive MT Short Pines OHV

 

I need to head up there. It's been years. North Dakota badlands are spectacular.

 

This is my Excursion & camper at Spencer Hot Springs in Nevada:



I just noticed how perfectly level it sits. The rear is up quite a bit higher when it's empty, the front just a little. If you're going to tow a big RV with an Excursion, do what I did to the suspension!
