Thank you all so much for the very helpful information!!! We are so excited to get on the road!!! It sounds like we might need to plan to stay a little longer next time with all of the great things to do!
We have one of those little gas grills that swings off our bumper, so I do use that occasionally. I just prefer to cook over the fire as often as possible, just for the experience :) So I went ahead and bought one of those cooking grates that we can carry with us for those parks that don't have them already on the fire rings. I plan to cook a couple meals in the crock pot too! It's nice to come back to dinner after a day at the beach :)
I love the idea of keeping a bucket of water by the door! That should help immensely! And thank you for the reminder about sand spurs. It's been a long time since I lived in the south, and might not have thought about those pesky little buggers!!!
We have an outdoor shower, too. Planning on using that as much as possible. Do any of you use it for actual showers? I was considering buying one of those pop up privacy tent things to allow us to use our outdoor shower when it's hot outside, but I'm just not sure if it's worth the extra expense and extra storage space. We use our tub/shower for the kids, and we typically just use the shower house if we want a long hot shower :) We don't have our own honey wagon yet, so we try to be careful of the grey tank filling up when we don't have FHU. Just not sure if I should invest in one or not?
Again, thank you all for taking the time to respond with your advise and suggestions! We really appreciate it!
Oh, and I'll work on getting a siggy soon too, so you'll know who we are! My name is Amber, by the way :) We drive an 04 Suburban, pulling a 2013 Crossroads Sunset 26BH. This is our first full summer of camping, with many more in our future! Hoping to be full timers before it's all said and done :)
