Thats a good price, I usually try to get full hookup just because of the kids, 4mos, 3yrs, 10yrs. Makes it a little easier. Maybe if I go one of them blue totes, it may make it easier.

Have you checked out longs retreat?? Hillsboro area. I don't believe the have full hook ups but great for the kids and fishing.

No I have not, but I will. I usually stay around state parks, but I need to venture out further. Most of the state parks are about the same anyway. I was going to stay at hueston woods this last time. It's very close to me, but no full hook ups. How do you go about dumping? It seems to be alot of trouble to take down camp to dump then set back up again. I have done it though, When we went to Lake Kincaid.

We seem to be fine for 3-4 days. Try to limit restroom to kids and night time. We use bath houses.

Haha. Being old hippy I kinda like skunk smell. Haha. No haven't tried there. I just recently started gold panning so we r planning trips to gold bearing land. Lol.

onequicksportster · 05-06-2013, 07:55 PM

Well not so good in Ohio so far. But surrounding states have gold also. My best luck is with a friend that lives in the motherlode in Cali and sends me 5 gal bucket of dirt to pan. Average 5-6 grams per bucket. More fun than profit but one never knows and better than lotto or casino. Lol.

onequicksportster · 05-06-2013, 08:12 PM

Ha! man it sounds like a road trip to cali may be in your near future huh? Ya i've never been much of a gambler either, the odds in life are already stacked against me, I don't need to make it any worse ha ha.

I lived there for 7 yrs and a year in the Oregon mountians but came back home a few years ago.
We just did 11 days in Florida. That's a tote with the camper.

onequicksportster · 05-06-2013, 08:21 PM

Ya that is a tote to Fla, it seems like anytime I go anywhere I break somthing. Waiting for a tire to blow out on the side of the interstate, that will top the list. I'm planning a trip next year to Yellowstone, so most likely that is when it will occur. ha ha

That's my biggest fear. Did waist my awning in Florida storm. That one hurt. Wife still hold it against me. I'm designated drink mixer for life over that one.

onequicksportster · 05-06-2013, 08:28 PM

Oh man that stinks! I fear that one too, " Designated drink mixer" that's not so bad, I mean you have to taste the goods, to make sure its good! I managed to tear my axle caps off on this past trip at a fuel station, there was a bar sticking out of the fuel island I didnt see. Also broke my dump handle on that one. Handle is fixed now axle cover not so much yet. I still need to oder them.

Yea ordering awning this week. 1000 bucks. That even hurts to type. Lol. We camp a lot. She's a nurse and works 3 12s and I work from home/camper office. Verison hotspot for Internet and I can work anywhere.

onequicksportster · 05-06-2013, 08:35 PM

Wow 1000.00 man!! is it electric? Ya we only get to go maybe 7-8 times a year if were lucky, I usually work 4 on 4 off, but with the kiddos and school and all it's hard to go much more. Wife is a stay at home mother, so no issues there atleast.
