RE: Seven points campground Raystown lake PA
Been going to Raystown lake for years. It's much tougher to get a spot these days.
Reservations can be made 6 months in advance, nevertheless they are still hard to get these days.
All the loops are great. Depending on what you want. Some are closer to the water and have great water front sites. Some are wooded, others are totally open.
Raystown has lots of trails, and a neat mountain bike track.
You can also bring a boat or rent a boat if you are a boater.
Thanks for the help I am going to try to get a reservation for August, we have stayed at many COE campgrounds and all have been nice .

Seven points campground Raystown lake PA
We Would like to check out Seven points COE campground at Raystown lake in PA next year does anyone have loop recommendations ? If I understand correctly all sites are electric only no water is that correct? Traveling with a large Truck camper no trailer. I would guess reservations are hard to come by as well ? Any advice or recommendations are much appreciated
Thanks

RE: 6.6 Ram
Your the first person I,ve heard from with a DRW I was wondering what kind of mpg you get hauling the camper. I have a 18 3500 Ram with a Cummins and only thinking of trading because of these emission problems I read about Thanks for any info.Also how does it pull on long New Mexico grades.
Averaging around 10 mpg ,with the camper loaded have the 6.4 with the older 6 speed and the camper weighs a little over 6k loaded .

RE: Conn. TC owners
In CT your truck camper Is not registered with DMV and you don’t pay property taxes on it either , as far as the parkways go it depends on you GVWR mine is 14k so I have a commercial registration so I am able to legally carry my max payload , no parkways for me . You can register your truck at the max gvwr limit for a combination registration , 12500 ? Not sure what it currently is , no matter what you actual GVWR is but don’t get caught over weight ( slim chance but still a fine).

RE: Solar panel
We use a Renogy 200 watt suitcase. Has its own weatherproof controller and cables and is portable for times we are camped under trees the panels can be moved into the sun . Renogy also has a 100 watt set up lighter and smaller have also used that one both very well made and reliable

RE: Getting close to a TT
You may feel good about your playing the dealers buy they are not in Business to lose money especially in the current sellers market and the cost of what they are giving you is built in to their price but as long as you feel good about the purchase they have done their job , good luck and enjoy your adventure.

RE: Outside camp kitchen fridge
All the ones we have seen are 110vac . Unless you have an inverter to power it while traveling it doesn’t seem to useful unless you pack it , cool it down and are not. Traveling to far

RE: Is it possible to finance a $23K trailer for 180 months?
FWIW, we have personal reasons for wanting a longer termed loan. None of it has to do with affordability, cash flow, bad credit, lack of a down payment, etc... The idea was to time the loan so that it'd be paid off right around the time our mortgage is paid + the time frame at which our youngest would be heading off on his own.
Looks like we'll need to readjust our thinking. Thanks for all the help.
Speaking from experience the children don’t always leave the nest as planed ! Something else to keep in mind . Plus in 12 years you most likely will either want a larger rv or be out of it altogether!

RE: GVWR over 10k on new truck, need commercial plates?
Here in ct you can register a truck for the max combination plates limit even if the truck has a higher gvwr But don’t get caught over that weight . In my case my truck has a 14k gvwr and I need to be near that weight so I have a commercial registration , no parkways for my truck and it’s a yearly renewal. I know this does help for mass but it could be similar .

RE: solar for your RV
We have been using a solar suitcase for over 10 years but there are times when there is no sun and a small generator is needed for battery charging . We carry a 1000 watt Honda generator for charging and we have a inverter to power what we need that’s not 12 volt , its quiet and sips gas . We prefer the portable solar panels because you can move them around to get some sun if your rv is under the trees. We used to use two 2000 watt Honda generators In parallel for our last larger RV with supplemental solar use as well .

RE: New England Travel
Ct just handed out two $1000.00 fines for people returning to the state from some of the 30 or more states on the list and not doing the 14 day Quarantine, don’t know how they found these people or how they will in force it but yes there are fines involved .

RE: Motor Carrier Road Atlas
I replace mine every few years , we mainly use it for the planing travel on the interstates and low clearances which don’t change very often. I have a 10 year old copy of the east and west mountain directory books and now they have a app so haven’t replaced them either the mountain grades don’t change either .

RE: First barrage with the dealer
Dealers do not currently need to make you a good deal , there are so many people that are buying rv’s for the first time they probably could get MSRP for most of their sales . Wait until spring and there will be a flood of rv’s that were used one time for sale ! The rv life is not the answer for everyone and not as simple as the industry is making it look with hitches proper tow vehicles, poor quality, plumbing and electrical repairs and tanks bing filled and emptied. Good luck in your plans .

RE: What's changed about camping?
Just wait until all the folks that just bought Rv’ s this year because of the pandemic get out here , most haven’t a clue about how To use the equipment they bought never mine campground rules or that the rules are for everyone! Have tried to assist a few but they know it all already and We have seen it in our travels . Next year there will be a lot of rv’s and gear for sale! It’s really a sign of our times unfortunately. I think it makes all the difference if you had previous generations teach you the proper way to do things in life as well as camping

RE: Roadside Food stops?
Get a copy of the next exit has everything at every exit list and Rv friendly spots listed There is also exit now , I prefer the paper back versions of these resources but they also have apps.
