Agreed!!
I don't own a swear hose support myself either. I just dump black then great and pick the hose up if needed to get rid of anything left inside it. Easy..The grey cleanses the hose like a spring shower!! or something like that.

I do own a sewer hose support, but seldom use it. Don't see the need unless for long-term camping.

Here's what my water hook up looked like last year. I considered this part of the overall fun of the rally and it was a great way to meet people.

Repair Preparation

We have a request in for fan repair/replacement to our Dometic 4-door refrigerator. Don't want to sound ignorant, BUT should we avoid stocking it up with a week's-worth of food or will things be okay for that type of 'repair?' And yes, we'll have a separate cooler for our libations, if needed!

There's probably no way to tell what day you will get service. Last year mine didn't get done until Thursday. Suggest you better plan accordingly but make sure when you check in at the service center that you explain your situation.

Unless I'm misreading these two posts there is a difference of opinion on how sites are assigned. Since my registration # is 748 I guess I get the least desirable site ,or, one next to whomever is in line when I arrive. Since it's out of my control I'll quit worrying about it and just go to where they point me.

You park according to registration. Unless special consideration has been made "handicapped or otherwise".

Thanks for the correction and education -- I was Polly Parroting what a member of the parking committee from last year told me.

That also explains why FROG Bob and Cindy are SO busy these days! Stuffing 700+ Rigs into the CG has got to have them pulling out what hair they have left!
