Re: Outer Banks suggestions?
Camp Hatteras is a very nice camp ground right on the ocean. Don't know if they allow GC's. The other camp ground we liked a lot is Hatteras Sands in the village of Hatteras. It's not on the beach but it's very close. 5 minutes from the Ocrakoc ferry. Both have web sites. Have fun. We love the OBX and can't wait to get back there. Have fun.422Views0likes0CommentsRe: First Long Trip -- What are the "must dos" and "must haves"?
We use "Next Exit" for fuel and food stops. It will tell you if the stop is big rig friendly.It's never failed us in 10 years. I always travel with some water. (About half tank). I like using my own bathroom and you never know when you will need water. (Over heating vehicle,ETC) Make sure your tires are properly filled on the Tow vehicle and trailer. Don't forget the spares. I also heard of people taking an extra spare for the trailer. I've never done that but it couldn't hurt if you have the room. Last but not least. Enjoy the journey. Stop along the way and see the sights. Have fun and safe travels. Pat291Views0likes0CommentsRe: Jayco roof / owner failure

Pat A lot of Jayco's used TPO roof with a felt back that would wick water and rot out the roof. I'm not sure there is a lot you can do to prevent this. Exactly what happened. My repair guy used a different material that did not have the felt backing.465Views0likes0CommentsRe: Jayco roof / owner failure

You should be fine. I have found most parts are common among the different manufacturers. There may be some things that are proprietary. Appliances, lights, interior trim are all the same among different brands. Google RV parts and check the websites that sell RV parts and supplies. Good luck and enjoy your new home away from home. One suggestion. Since the trailer you bought has only been parked since it was first purchased, get the axel bearings repacked and checked out.229Views0likes0CommentsRe: ~Post your campsite photos here~
Cherry Hill Camp Gound. Good place to see the Washington DC sites. Site 408 One of the bath houses Pond by the dog walk Conference Center Pool and Cafe Bus Depot. You can take the metro bus to the subway station and then take the subway into the city. You can also drive to the subway station which is about 10 minutes away. Camp Grround office and a very well stocked camp store. The campground is right next to a very busy interstate. There is always highway noice. We kept the AC blower on all of the time. We really couldn't hear the noice with it running. The staff wasvery fiendly and helpfull. Pat325Views0likes0CommentsRe: ~Post your campsite photos here~
