At one time we had a 3 1/2 lb. Yorkie that thought she was a 90 lb. Sheppard. Sweet but tough!

Our 12 pound rescue Pepper loves her second home! 44 nights in the 10 months we have had her. Favorite place is propped on the steering wheel looking forward. Dreaming of where she could drive to.

For the first timers at this campground there is a couple things you need to know. The hookups are quite a ways back in the lot so before you unhitch you 5er or your TT make sure you are back far enough. Also, most of us have extra sewer hose and fresh water hose, but for those that don't have it you may want to invest in both before you get here. Last year I was in A17 and shared a water hookup vault with A16. Thus the water hookup was on the curb side of the TT, quite a reach under it. I was lucky I didn't need the extra hose without kinks. For the water vault hookup you may want to get a "Y" adapter so you can turn the outlet up to screw on the hose. Not all the lots have water hookups in a vault. Here is a couple photos of what to expect. So, Sierra360PDEK you are forewarned.

BTW all attendees - if you have not seen a Aviator, you need to see if you can get a tour! This was Forest River's attempt to go head-to-head with Airstream...still not sure WHY FR discontinued the line 
Speaking of "Tours" I am thinking of reprising the "Parade of Homes" again this year (Open you RV to tours during a set period of time)
Any interest in doing this again?

Only if they take their shoes off at the door.
I'd be jealous because I can't come in with mine on because the BOSS won't let me.

Great, much needed information Boo. So since my water connection is at the very front of my camper (32') you estimate I will need about 40'+ of hose? My power is the very rear so that should be fine 25' cord. Are the sewer drains at least on the correct side of each site or do I need about 40' of sewer hose also?
In all my camping years I can't remember ever seeing a site setup like the one you describe. I'm probably not the only first timer, so I appreciate the information and other should as well. Thank you Boo!

AND, if your site has cable, you'll need a long coax cable too!
If my memory serves me correct, some of the sewer drain pipes are highrisers.

Rustwt001, sewers are on the street side of the lot, but some are far enough back you may need 30' of hose for that. Electric shouldn't be a problem. Water may or may not be an issue. As I stated not all the lots have the water spigot in a vault, some are a single heat traced riser. It's just that you need to be prepared for the unusual.
