Re: A 1500 Series (1/2 ton) PU truck, for towing a 5th wheel.
Put it this way, I have a 1/2 ton truck and a 23 foot trailer that weighs about 5k fully loaded. Much lighter than any fiver. No problem for the truck right? In actuality after I load in my family and gear I exceed my payload rating. It's really surprising how little payload a full size truck has. I wouldn't even consider a fiver with a half ton.353Views0likes0CommentsRe: RV Camping and Sightseeing in Wisconsin
Lived and camped in Wisconsin all my life almost exclusively at state parks. I don’t have much to add since you've gotten some great responses so far. Based on your likes (sightseeing, quaint towns, eating out, bass fishing) I’d highly recommend Peninsula SP in Door County. The area is full of charming little towns, great restaurants, shopping, and scenery. Like someone else said, more stuff then you’ll have time to see and do. The waters of Green Bay (go Packers!) are becoming known as a great bass and walleye destination. http://www.lake-link.com/Wisconsin-Fishing-Reports/report.cfm/43458/Green-Bay-Lower-Bay-Brown-County/ Consider doing a wine tour, ghost tour, or a guided pub crawl through the door county trolley company. They’re a ton of fun even if you don’t care for wine and don’t believe in ghosts like me. Do a search and you’ll find a ton of resources online. Also, I’ll add my name to the list of people you can feel free to PM if you have any questions while planning your trip. I'm very familiar with the big three SP’s; Wyalusing, Devils Lake, and Peninsula. By the end of the year we’ll have been at all three along with Richard Bong and Buckhorn (Buckhorn is newer and has some of the nicest sites I’ve ever camped in by the way).398Views0likes0Comments
