Just returned from 2500 mile trip from Wisconsin down to Charelston SC then back through Georgia and home. had a couple family events so took the trailer so we could travel with the aging dog who needs, believe it or not, air conditioning or, at least, low heat /humidity. So- when we camped we stayed where there was electric. Interesting for us to do the "on the road" scenario where we were setting up and taking down the next day. A bit of a pain but we were getting better by the end and I could drop and level and get plugged in usually in less than ten minutes. Got quick at doing the dump on the way out each morning, also. Took off on Sept 1 and stayed with family over labor day weekend in SC, so most state park campgrounds we picked were usually empty for the most part. A BIG THANK YOU to whoever recommended Red Top Mountain state park north of Atlanta where we stayed put for three nights. And that was my only regret- that we had to pack up and leave so many neat places without getting to explore. Biggest takeaway for me was realizing I need to figure out running the frig on electric(12v) ----as has been the case with many of you. Certainly comes in handy when one is moving daily. However, with AC each night things seemed to stay pretty cold until the next night. Im not sure the 12v setting was actually working. I will work on finding out, though.

I can only imagine how crowded Red Top gets when the demand is high or leaves start changing- but I like I said, pulling in on a Monday/Labor day at 4:00 pm meant it was pretty empty. Great sites for my 22 footer- though many would have been tight. I did get chuckle one evening, though, watching a very large 5th wheeler cruising the lake front road after dark looking for a spot. No way. Nice pull thrus, though, at the front for those type rigs. Again, thanks for the heads up.
