Re: 1998 rockwood by forest river ultralite series m-2306 manual
Found mine at forestriverinc.com/rvs/owners Basic drop-down menu directs you to "Owners", then scroll to "Electronic, Interactive Owner's Manuals". Click on "Owner's Manual for a Unit 2015 or Newer" and it will lead you to a link to their mobile app available on "Google Play". Save to your smart phone for easy access anywhere you have cell service.258Views0likes0CommentsRe: Southwest Pennsylvania
Two additional websites which might be of use in your travel plans: https://www.laurelhighlands.org/ https://www.visitpa.com/region/laurel-highlands I hope you will enjoy a most pleasant stay in this beautiful area. I grew up in the area, and still spend quality time there with my wife, kids, and grandson, skiing with friends in the winter and camping with family in the summer. Please be advised and educate yourself as to the various openings and easing of COVID-19 restrictions in Pennsylvania. Their policies are changing frequently.331Views0likes0CommentsRe: Southwest Pennsylvania
Southwest PA, particularly the Laurel Highlands is a wonderful area in which to spend a quality time. The area is easily accessed on your trip from St. Louis by following Interstate 70 E through Ohio, West Virginia, and into Pennsylvania. Pick up the PA Tpk in New Stanton for 15 miles, and take the next exit (91) at Donegal. Turn left on US Rte 31, and you'll be in the heart of the beautiful Laurel Higlands Many State Parks and activities are available by searching the DCNR Homepage https://www.dcnr.pa.gov/Pages/default.asp I would highly recommend the Flight 93 Memorial (9/11 crash site), Frank Lloyd Wright's Falling Water and Kentuck Knob home tours by reservation and ticket. Seven Springs and Hidden Valley Mountain resorts are summer activity meccas, as well. The historic town of Ligonier, located on US Rte 30, with ties to George Washington and General Braddock in the French and Indian War era, is worth a visit. Also located on US 30, you can find Idlewild Park and Story Book Forrest. This nostalgic theme park has entertained countless generations of visitors. It's a tradition to pack a picnic basket/cooler for your lunch in the park's pavilion. We have enjoyed camping at Laurel Hill SP (a little off the main road), and Kooser SP, with easy in-and-out access to US Rte 31. Kooser can be a bit noisy with highway truck traffic, but the location makes it very convenient for travel to any of these points of interest. Due to the July 4th holiday, availability will be limited. Reservations will likely be necessary. There are other privately-owned, quality campgrounds in the region. Search the Somerset, Fayette, and Westmoreland county areas for more information. Ohiopyle SP, and the town itself offer exciting whitewater rafting, biking, and hiking opportunities. However, be forewarned, traveling to its Kentuck Campground requires careful route planning for large RVs and campers. Read carefully the fine print on their reservation page for recommendations for arrival.330Views0likes0CommentsRe: Assateague Island

Its quite a site. We drove to Assategue which isnt that far and site seeing and went to the beach for the day. Lots of fun We haven't been there for many years, but Tom's Cove is our choice location as well. Plenty of dining opportunities on Chincoteague, shopping and activities abound, and the drive to Assateague is easily managed for a day at the beach, or the nature trails. We always went the week before Pony Penning, avoiding the huge crowds, but still able to enjoy the Firemen's Festival.811Views0likes0CommentsRe: Columbus - Ohio State Football
We've stayed at Alum Creek twice during summer months, never during football season. Another choice is Cross Creek CG (privately owned, not a SP) which is located almost directly across the road from Alum Creek SP. A bit more pricey, but more in the way of hook-ups and amenities.512Views0likes0CommentsRe: Where do you put the big cabelas recline chairs
hawkeye-08 wrote: Ours (2) fit beside the bed with cargo blanket over them to protect wall and bed. When we get to camp, they go out the bedroom door and get setup next to the trailer under the awning. After wiping off the chair legs, ours are placed on top of our front queen bed. They're heavy enough that they've never moved during our travels. After laying out the camping mats, they are brought out and placed under the awning. At night, they are folded and tucked under the kitchen slide-out to protect against overnight rain or dew.730Views0likes0CommentsRe: Towing in the snow
Aside from the control issues, one should also consider the potential damage caused by salt/chemical road treatment to the underbelly materials, water/sewage/LP gas lines, and trailer frame. These trailer components are not painted or treated with the same paints or undercoating as used in the auto/truck industry. The road salt, sand, and cinders may also accumulate and interfere with the operation of sewer drain valves and electric brake mechanisms on which we are so dependent.433Views0likes0CommentsRe: Columbus Ohio
X3 on Alum Creek SP. We've stayed here two times. Sites are all cut back into the trees, offering a visual privacy screen from neighboring sites. Drawbacks include a somewhat limited access to shower houses, and sources to fill your FW tank. Access the campground map to select a site which you feel is conveniently located near the showers. Water stands in each CG section do not offer a threaded spigot. FW with a threaded spigot is available at an approved potable water service next to the dump station. These are located near the entrance to the park. Cross Creek is nice, but if your planning on activities at the zoo and COSI, you might not have the time to take full advantage of the added amenities offered there. As you might expect, these amenities come at a higher cost than the SP campground.221Views0likes0CommentsRe: Whatcha doin this weekend?
Reservations at our local Ohio SP, about 5 miles from home. But... Our first grandson will be born very soon!:) DIL is scheduled to start induced labor tomorrow morning. Fortunately, the hospital is only 20 minutes away. We'll be able to shuttle back and forth very easily. What an exciting and wonderful way to spend another adventure in our retirement.401Views0likes0Comments
