Camped on the blue ridge parkway this weekend at about 4,900 feet. Perfect weather, mid 70's in the day and 50's at night. The most private campground we have ever stayed at. Our picnic table / fire ring area was surrounded by mountain laurel and awesome. Never thought I would be sitting by a fire with a sweatshirt on in August.

Forgot to add this distillery we found, amazing! The orange has tons of orange peel soaked in it and the oils from it are amazing, the after taste is pure orange flavor. All natural and awesome, the lemon is done the same way and is also awesome.
Fall camping is awesome.
This weather is awesome.
Cheers

I did the math this morning while doing my morning business. 15 years of owning a camper. Pack up day still sucks
Pack up day sucks even when you leave a lot behind. We enjoyed the farm again this weekend. If it weren't for this, we'd really be throwing $ down the drain. Thankfully we love it here and it makes it easy to have visitors.
Got it home. Unhooked and was leveling it out. She spit the chocks, jumped off the tongue block. Truck stopped it. No damage that I can see. Luckily I didn't have the scirror Jack's down. It would've folded them.
I know better than to unhook with the trailer axles on that big of a bind. I was just being lazy and didn't want to move the basketball hoop. Add that with the slight incline of my driveway and I will take full responsibility for it. Just excited after the win last night and seeing the beans coming off on my way home. Work is done, beers are tasting good and bed will come early tonight

Agreed, pack up and travel day never improves. I've been using ours as a rolling hotel the last few weekends, great to be able to sleep with the windows open and not worry about a DD

This popped up today, 1st and only year we went seasonal. Just throwing bags and laundry into the truck to head home is missed, they were just little fellas.

I don't miss that seasonal game. I'll take the packing and travel day. Thinking about asking her if she wants to do Strouds the weekend before. Just so I can beat Dustin there. I know he likes that.
I dunno, I can break down a tent and toss it in truck within a few minutes. A camper is slower, just more permanent with no need to setup the tent again when home lol.
Well with a tent you have to take out all the bedding, and whatever else you had in the tent. Then you have to pack up all the food, cooking stuff, coolers, etc. Then when you get home you have to unpack the entire truck. With the camper all we have to take out is our dirty clothes and stuff in the fridge. I love it
Well, had a mechanical failure today, so I'm turning to the troubleshooters @5Cent, @giles, and others.
I noticed at Strouds my water pump sounded sluggish, but I was only using the toilet, so I didn't think much of it. By sluggish, it sounds like it's running at 10%. Quiet and not building pressure. I put the usual 3.5 gallons of antifreeze in, but couldn't get it to come out anywhere. Drains were closed, and the hot water tank was bypassed. I left all the drains and valves open since I probably can't remedy this before the freeze.
Thinking maybe a clog somewhere. Other thoughts? Especially Adam since he had this same model.

Open all your fixtures and low points to make sure no bubble in system. Clogs r unlikely, new pump replacement most likely.
