Welcome. I remember when my wife said that also and it's been nothing but enjoyable since, except when it's cabin fever weather in the Northeast.

Ok, had to drill to 450 ft for 5 gal/min. Having the MH as a back up is fan f tastic.

Our pump failed but the casing was junk so the pump is stuck. Won't come out or go back down. It was a better decision to drill another closer to the house. New- 50 ft., old- 1000 ft away. Going 400' down as well. I think the casing is bent because a lot of dynamite was used to clear the lots around our house. A lot of rock here. The Granite State.

We lost our water well on Friday night. Nice to have the MH as a back up for showering. A new well is being drilled as I type. Using pool water to fill the toilets. I had to go to a local CG to fill my water tank as I don't want to owe any neighbors a favor, if you know what I mean. Anyone ever have to use their MH or other camper when something in the house goes kaput? David

We took the gamble and it paid off and went right over GW without steppin on da brake. It was early Sat. morning. I don't think I would try it again.

Chocolate jerky?......lol

I miss TX beef jerky. @#$% I'm drooling. Not thin strips but big chunks.

Yes I did that. I thought that just maybe someone had a good experience up yonda.

Looking for a nice campground for Sept. After searching the entire US for a good retirement lake house we ended up around Caribou. So we will be real estate hunting. Already have a realtor to assist. We needed a dock so I can just jump into the lake without worrying that something will eat me and if I stand in 6" of water I can still see my toes!

I use it all the time........

Thanks Ian. Now I don't have to worry about that. Next step is finding a decent campground. I've looked up quite a few.

Looks like I might need to throw a dart at the map, closet campground wins. Of course need the proper set up. Preferably 50a, but looking around might be 30a. And "very close" to salt water.

Agree. All I say is OK and I catch it.

Still need to pick out a campground.

That was my first time PMing and I didn't do it right......second time worked.

I've read a few posts on the toad needing brakes. How about if using a tow dolly with surge brakes? Is that sufficient? I can't seem to locate any info on that. Thanks.

We used to use flea and tick collars on our boots at ft hood.

Starting the planning on going to Nova Scotia in 2019. Anyone have any favorite campgrounds there with 50 amp and full hook up? And I will be finally dragging the toad. It will be all driving, no ferries. We live in NH so the ride "should be" good. Thanks, David

I think it's time for Winny and/or fishing in Buzzards Bay. I need to get some boat time in.

Is wasn't bad at all. MH handled perfect both ways. Just need to work on our GPS and overnight strategies. Safe travels Bill.

Made it back home. A lot of lessons learned. We went 95 almost the entire ride home, we bypassed DC and Baltimore. Believe it or not we blasted right through NYC and the GW bridge on Sat. Took the gamble and it paid off. We did screw up on the way there and ended up on some farm road before MB for about 1/2 hour, that was a treat as it was not wide enough for the MH and a car coming the opposite way. That was our 1st lesson. Total mileage to and from was approx. 2200 miles. Now that trip is behind us we are already to start planning the next. Queen is already talking Alaska, geez, ease up lady, lol. That will be after retirement which is another 6 yrs away. Probably do Nova Scotia next.Time to start another thread. BTW, I drove from 9am to midnight on the way home wired on coffee, never again. Got thrown out of Wally’s outside of Phil. Ended up at a service stop on NJTW.

Yes we were surprised how the trip went. This KOA is pretty nice. It was 1100 miles total. Did 65 to 75 mph pretty much the entire trip. Now it’s party time.

Left NH yesterday and stayed over outside of Richmond. Getting ready for the final trek. Yes the truck stops are creepy, ended up at wallys, lol. Quiet and secure.

We will probably end up in some corn field. Done that before but in a van.

Thanks fer the links, I saved them. We plan on getting a good night sleep and a grand slam breakfast.
