ALL full hookup sites share water and power pedestal but not sewer. BRING Sewer supports as most are NOT at ground level and you will have a big "U" in your hose if you don't support it.

Water and 30 amp only sites (about 600 sites) do not need Ys but will need adapters for 50 amp coaches.

I could be wrong, but I don't recall many 50 amp sites (even the full hookup ones). BRING POWER ADAPTERS. 30 amp campers should be prepared to use a 50 if there is one and you get put there.

I am bringing one of these Sears Local Ad at LANGHORNE, PA : Find Deals on all Holiday Gifts

BRASS ONLY as the plastic ones break due to the hose weight

You need to be careful when using brass fittings. You have to make sure that they have a low lead content or the lead can leach into the water supply, which is not a good thing.

Here is a map of the Fairgrounds that show the campsites and what they have.
Wow this is a big fairgrounds.

How about some of us each "make" a hose pigtail out of an older 3/4" water hose long enough to reach from the spigot to to the ground? That way all of our Y's will be on the ground and we won't have to worry about how much weight that first Y on the spigot will hold.

They do have 30 amp and 50 amp sites, I know that all the 200 # section they had both in the panel. I'm almost positive on that, I think I used a 50 with a 30 amp dogbone last year..... It even shows on Iggys map the 50 amp sites.

Yeah it is! And here is a Aerial photo taken at the rally last year -- this was with ~500 Rigs -- imagine what another 200 or so rigs are gonna add to that!

But the pedestals are shared so someone could need an adapter.

So we have our extra lengths of all hoses and our brass water splitter etc. Now looking at getting a sewer hose support. How long a support do you recommend getting?

I carry the 20 foot Camco.

Camco Sidewinder 20' Plastic Sewer Hose Support - Walmart.com

it can support as short as 5 feet and extend to 20 feet.
So far this has been fine. If you find yourself in a bind for longer, a home store run for a 10 foot section of rain gutter and a cinder block will also work to make it 30.

Turbs are you signed up for the dinner cruise ( Berkshire Backwaters) they are having on the Lake (Top Right)? We are also going on the (Train Ride to Chicago) it is a FREE ride! Youroo!!

[TURBS]

Ok thanks, just wanted to make sure I wouldn't need longer o deal with the sewer issues here you guys have been talking about. And yes, I know I may not have a full hook up, just want to be prepared.

For the folks who end up without a sewer hook up if the parking team does not ask you let them know if you need to dump your tanks before you get in your spot, there are at least 10 dump spots in the fairgrounds.

[dblr]

Folks who have motorhomes and a toad, we will have you disconnect the toad before heading to your parking spot so that the parking crew can head back a little quicker. If you need a ride back to retrieve your toad that can be arranged also just in case.
