This will be the longest drive to date with our Pursuit 32. We just installed Sumosprings and the safe-t-plus stabalizer.
Thanks for your feedback.
Hope your trip goes well. Obviously taking in the sites is not on your list....travelling at night kinda rules that out.

BTW.....Not sure if you’ve done much driving with the Pursuit at night, but a lot of Class A units have fairly poor headlight coverage and strength. It seems to be the Nature of the Beast, so if you can find a long distance trucker and shadow him, it could be your best bet. You won’t want to be in the lead trying to scan for wildlife with OEM headlights.

OOOPS TOO LATE! Just noticed the OP posted this thread back in February. Trip is probably but a distant memory now.

My wife sent this to me this morning.

I feel like she’s trying to tell me something, but I just can put my finger on it!

Looks like a trip to the Fort. We are going back December 1 for 8 nights, maybe just me and DW. Granddaughter may be in pre-K

Yep, he’s definitely got a trip in his future. Mouse ears and all!
We’ll on our way there, for ten days the first part of April. I’ve been trying to find the criteria for the site difficulty rating without much luck. I figure they all get filled so obviously they can all be backed into with some study. That 80 degree weather looks inviting too...

If you are using the "sites at the fort app"
The rating is a compilation from all the contributing members.
A lot of good information about the fort is on the fortfiends.net site(yes, it is spelled correctly) and sites at the fort app.

I really don't get that. Maybe she has an aversion to people? My wife can't get enough Disney, and if we had the cash, she would want to go all the time. Maybe it's because she never did anything fun when she was a kid, she grew up poor. She's 58 now and if I told her we were going tomorrow, her eyes would light up like a little kid and she'd be dancing around the house!

I selected a premium site but I only paid $98 a night, so must not be as premium as yours was...

Apparently I picked a costly time to go....

Like WDW is not costly enough...

I would do it again in a heartbeat.

We have a premium site in December, $108 a night. We have a full hookups in April. A spot is all I need. Granddaughter wants to spend time in the pool. We will probably go to Disney Springs one day after swimming and ponies. DW just doesn’t like the parks, to many people. We have been six times inside the parks

Ive only ever stayed at standard sites there in the 1600 loop. What do premium sites have that standard sites don't?

I can get a military discount if I stay at a hotel on property, it’s cheaper than staying at the Fort. I have more room in my fifth wheel
