Ok, I keep seeing RV's parked in the parking lot of my local Walmart. I was just wondering if you have talk to Walmart and let them know you are there? Or What? I'm just curious.

Just bought a 38' 5er and realized that lots of state parks sites only say up to 35' Anyone know is this a hard and fast rule? Do they ask when you make your reservation your size?

While this forum is full of useful information, it is also good for some great laughs. I won't specify which posts have given me a laugh today (wonder if you can tell what I've been reading?), but I'm really enjoying this forum. Can't wait to actually sit around the campfire with some of you all.

I was sitting outside at the campsite yesterday when a 5W pulled up to a site.

Many are miserably suffering thru the heat wave attacking most of the country. HOT ain’t fun, but perhaps we can make fun of the situation.
