Keep that site warm, we'll be there on site 1 in late Sept for 10 days.
Oh my goodness, you are! I didn't make the connection until just now!

Well this will be exciting as there will be at least 2 other RV Forums members here at the same time.

Thanks so much for your support guys, it really means a lot to Trish and I. :)
 
LOL, good one!

That had to be Judy, Jerry's not that quick. . . :)
Now just wait to see which sewer connection Jerry hooks up to when they visit! :unsure:
 
I forgot to take pictures. Four days at Riveredge campground in Pigeon Forge. Because online they were to only reasonably priced place with suitable openings for me and two other trailers. When we went there a couple of years ago our site was gravel. They've now upgraded all their sites to concrete. Finished and tinted to resemble stone slabs, pretty nice! Swimming pool with with a splash zone. Game room, which I didn't check out. OK-ish wifi. At least they had two channels. I didn't speed check it. There's a trolley stop there you can catch for a dollar and go to the Old Mill or on up to Gatlinburg.

Just above the campground is the newish Margaritaville resort. Plain jane concrete slabs. No trees at all for any shade. Nice pool. Maybe there's more but I sure didn't see anything rating about twice what we paid at RiverEdge.

Next to Riveredge is River Landing. A bit more basic and less expensive. Gravel sites and no pool. Due to the odd highway setup you have to drive through it to get to Riveredge.
 
A few of you asked for a report on RV Glass (Glass Solutions) in Coburg Oregon. Arrived the day before (4th of July) and hooked up to one of their three 50 amp power pedestals. We appreciated that because the air conditioners were needed. Nicely kept facility (Huge) surrounded by other RV support businesses. We checked in at 0800 and we were in their (very) nice reception area with WiFi , Television, refreshments, etc. until around 1100 when we were told we could go back to the coach. we had to stay until 1430 to let things cure sufficiently.

They replaced the passenger side windshield for $950.00 Oregon has no sales tax. I priced the windshield at other facilities and it was substantially higher. They have an enormous warehouse stocked with windshields so they most likely have what you need. We traveled 800 miles to have this done. Of course we planned our vacation around it. But I can definitively say that if you need a windshield replacement and you can get to RV Glass Solutions, then do it 😉

Here's us at RV Glass Solutions hooked up to their 50 amp pedestal.

Then we were off to Newport Marina RV. Basically RV spots in the marina. Most everyone were fisherman. Great bike access to trails to the Aquarium, beach, and beyond.

Then off to Winchester Bay RV Resort. Beautiful park with spectacular views. Would definitely recommend this place. Oh, and again, many fishermen. Saw one guy cleaning a 40lb halibut!

We stayed at Newport a few years ago and loved the area!

Took 101 from Crescent Beach up. Tunnels were tight.

Moss Landing KOA, about 15 miles north of Monterey/Carmel. For those of you that have no interest in visiting California, you might check out what the weather will be here for the next couple of weeks in the middle of July.

Great temps! A nice ocean breeze would be a bonus. I have to say the Monterey Aquarium is a must see if you are in the area.
 
It's just a bit hotter here. 🔥 Counting the days till we hit the road. (20)!
 
While in Newport Bay Marina RV Park recently, we visited the Oregon Coast Aquarium. It was fun and convenient (a block from our campsite), but it wasn't Monterey Bay Aquarium. Both are worth the visit, however Monterey is less convenient but more complete. We enjoyed the coastal temps in all of Oregon during our visit. We live on the Central CA Coast so we are blessed with these coastal temps regularly. Probably the only reason we stay in this crazy state (oh, that and our kids 😉) Blessings
 
Hearthside Grove Motorcoach Resort
Petoskey, MI

Wi-Fi: excellent
Verizon: super fast
AT&T: weak signal
SAT: Not used but some areas trees are an issue
Starlink: Most areas should be fine but trees are an issue
Cable: Don't think we have it
Trash pickup: shlep to dumpsters on your own

Sites here are nice but measured by the landscaping, otherwise it's a mega expensive slab of concrete, asphalt, or pavers. Some sites will have casita's, if that's what they call them way up here. My site pick, as usual, insufficient investigation but works. Water seems clear, I'm in the new section, I'm triple filtered. Water pressure, my guess is 30 psi at spigot, guess I could measure as I have a measurer.

Megamillions ticket was a bust so save your money, defective tickets here too!
