Howdy from South Richmond (Forest Hill). When we got our new TT, we took it to Pocahontas S.P. for a 4-day shakedown. Close to home, close to Pleasants Hdw., Food Lion and WallyWorld.

Welcome from sunny Florida! We lived in central Virginia for fifteen years. We had a pup then and took it to King's Dominion for our shake down trip, prior to taking it to West Virginia for a white water rafting trip. We miss camping in Virginia and West Virginia. Enjoy your new unit!
