Seasonal site questions
We have been using our 2009 Flagstaff 34’ TT on the road since we bought it new. Now we are going to try something different by placing it on a seasonal site in Delaware for the 2014 season. Not ever doing this I have some questions for you seasoned seasonal campers.
We will have full hook ups with metered electric. Cable TV and Wi-Fi included. We have stayed as transient campers at this place before and like the amenities very much.
The campsite we have is distanced from the ocean and water but the soil is still sandy with no grass and some trees. We like the site size and location in the campground.
Our questions are about setting up for the entire season. We have the factory crank down stabilizer jacks and I use the BAL X-Chock to cut down on motion. I also use the orange plastic blocks when we setup as temporary campers. Is this a good setup for the season in sandy soil? Should I use some other type jack for better stability?
I also use nice adjustable step supports and plan to use them for the setup.
I will assume we will keep the fridge running all season since we are allowed to stay hooked up to their service. I plan to turn off the water when we are not there for extended time periods. Looking for suggestions.
We have 2 slides with the slide toppers. Do people leave the slides out when they are not using the rig for extended time periods?
My thought is to use treated lumber for the entire setup. Does anyone that’s on sandy soil ever had to readjust during the season?
The other unknown is if we will do this again next year. We can keep the TT on the same site as part of our yearly fee. I do all my own winterizing and feel it should be safe at this campground even with high winds and the extreme weather.
Any other suggestions are welcomed. This forum has been a wealth of information from fellow campers. As I sit here in single digit weather and snow my mind is drifting to spring.
Thanks and stay warm everyone.
