WD hitch
I have been towing a 30ft TT with a Ford F-150 for the better part of 4 yrs without any issues. The last 2 times out I noticed my TV pulling to the right while towing. In fact the steering wheel has to be held slightly left of center to maintain a straight path. It does not happen when I’m not towing. Today upon returning from a trip, I noticed some play between the shank and the hitch assembly. Is this normal or should the shank and hitch assembly be tight. I checked all the tires on both my TV and trailer all look normal. I’m wondering if that little bit of play is the culprit. Any ideas? It’s an Equalizer setup. Thanks for the help.

Lubricant for stabilizers
Just wondering what you guys are using to lubricate your stabilizers. Mine are starting to show a little rust and wanted to get them lubricated before they get worse. Thanks for the help.

RE: gas shortages along Interstates
garyp4951, you are absolutely right sir. Last year in Fl, snowbirds were loading their cars with toilet paper for the trip back north. As you said, it’s all about them.

RE: gas shortages along Interstates
Check out the app Gas Buddy. You can input your route and see the stations that have or have no gas.

Charleston SC
Not a camping question but for those of you who visited Charleston and stayed at a hotel, I’m looking for recommendations. Planning on visiting for 3 days and nights. Looking for something close to the attractions and maybe walking distance to restaurants . Thanks for the help.

RE: Park Reviews
I for one, am more interested in the campground and what it has to offer and how it is maintained. I don’t let people that have poor people skills ruin my day. I also don’t care about poor WiFi or cell phone signal as I’m camping to get away from that stuff. I do understand many people work remotely these days and need that stuff and that’s important to them. For me that’s not a deal breaker. I use RVParkReviews. If the campground offers what you want than by all means go and enjoy yourself.

RE: Florida State Parks increasing fees.
I’m with you JoeH. The state needs to go by way of Pinellas County. Give Florida residents 11 mos out for reservations and all other 7 or 6 or whatever.

RE: is a surge protector necessary for a basic travel trailer?
I learned the hard way. It’s like an insurance policy, you don’t need it til you need it.

RE: Campground recommendations between Daytona and Orlando
You didn’t specify when exactly you plan to spend time in Florida. If it’s during snowbird season you might find it hard to get a spot for any length of time. Many places book a year in advance during the winter months. State parks allow reservations 11 months out and federal 6 months out. Good luck.

RE: Would you back a camper for someone?
I would ask if the person needed a hand and would be more than happy to back it in if they asked me. I know from experience people do get frustrated when backing in and I wouldn’t want to make them anymore frustrated by assuming they need my help. Ask and I’ll be happy to.

RE: How to replace sofa in 5th wheel?
When I replaced mine, the back rest came apart from the rest of the sofa. I had two separate pieces and it was a piece of cake to get out the door. I measured the length, width and height and ordered a new one from Amazon. It went in to the TT the same way the old one came out. After getting it inside I put the back rest on with the bolts that were included. Not a big issue at all. I also checked to get the original reupholstered and found that a new one was cheaper and I went with fabric instead of that faux leather.

RE: Marco Island RV Park
There are no campgrounds on Marco. The closest CG is the Naples KOA on 951. Collier Seminole SP on 41 about 7 miles south of 951 isn’t bad and just a short drive to Marco. Those are the two CGs closest to Marco.

RE: new mattress needed, any reason to buy from camping world?
We bought a Zinus from Amazon the exact size as the original. They come in a few different thicknesses, we got an 8”. If you buy it, be sure to leave it in the box and lay it on your bed to open it. It expands and it is a lot easier when you have it already on your bed. Best purchase I made for our TT.

RE: Charleston SC
Thanks for the quick replies. Looked at both James Island and Mt Pleasant websites. Both look like they fit what I’m looking for. We were in Charleston for a wedding in August a few years ago and only had a few hours to look around Charleston and yes it was hot and humid.

Charleston SC
Not familiar with the area around Charleston SC. I’m looking for a CG within about 30 mins of Charleston. FHU preferred but W.E. will suffice. Looking to do some sight seeing in Charleston but would also like to checkout other near by areas. Looked at RVParkReviews but as I stated, I’m not familiar with the area so would like a few suggestions from experienced RVers. Thank for your help and safe travels.

RE: Fort Wilderness, Busy as usual..
We were just there for a week in September. Weekends were busy as usual but a lot of open sites during the week. We are empty nesters so that was great for us.
