Re: Elkmont campground question
Thanks folks for the replies. I have the water thief and the water jugs for refilling when we need to. We are traveling 750 mi. on this trip with one stop already planned. I really don't want haul any more weight up and down those hills than I have to . My tank holds 50 gal. so that is a lot of weight sloshing around . I still need to know if there is fresh water at the sugarlands welcome center. Again thanks for the replies.559Views0likes0CommentsElkmont campground question
Can anyone tell me where I can fill my water tanks before I set up at Elkmont Campground in Smokey Mountains NP. I know there is a dump station at the Sugarlands Visitor center but I can't find any info about fresh water. All I get is a recorded loop when I tried to call them , finally gave that up . Any help would be appreciated.2.9KViews0likes12CommentsRe: Generator that won't break the bank..
My Yamaha 2800i is an inverter generator ,with an open frame . Not as quiet as the Honda 2000 but has a little more power. I thought the inverter meant it was safe for electronics. I could be wrong because I bought this thing 10 yrs ago and I have slept since then.328Views0likes0CommentsArctic Fox question
I recently bought a 2015 Arctic Fox 25Y and towed it 825 mi home. I bought it from a dealer that had taken it in trade so he really didn't know the trailer as well as he would have his brands. I camped one night on the way home connected to city water, took a shower so I know the water heater works all the places that should have water ,have water. All of the places that shouldn't have water were dry. After disconnecting from the water I tried to use the pump and sink to wash my hands. The pump ran and a little water sputtered out ,then it was just air. I assumed the tank was empty, no big deal. I got home and it was a week or so before I thought about it again. I discovered there is only one fill spot on the trailer,not 2 like my old trailer. All that being said,I tend to ramble. Is there a valve I need to turn to fill my tank, and where is it? Any help would be appreciated. Bob1.1KViews0likes4CommentsArctic Fox question
Just got home Monday with my new,to me, 2015 arctic Fox 25Y. Everything is great with the trailer ,the first owners only kept it a short while(maybe 6 months ,less than a year) they even did a few mods such as screens on all the places wasps like ,even left the chairs and they don't look like they were used. My question is , when I took a shower the floor didn't seem to have much support. It flexed more than I would think it should. Is this normal? Other than that I couldn,t be happier and am looking forward to a lot of good years camping. Thanks for any feedback.1.5KViews0likes7CommentsPulled the trigger
Finally found a trailer I wanted at a price I could live with only 850 mi from me LOL. I will pick up my new ,to me ,trailer, a 2015 Arctic Fox 25Y , next Saturday and pull her home Sunday and Monday. I have been looking for a long time and almost bought a Jayco , but the new ones changed the suspension so that fouled that up. With my type of camping I think I will be happier with the Fox even if it doesnt have an outside kitchen. I have all the camp kitchen stuff I need anyway and I seldom camp where I could plug that AC refrigerator in. See ya in the woods .1.3KViews0likes5Comments
