Spruce Lake RV Park - Estes Colorado
Please tell me about SpruceLake RV Park in Estes Park, Colorado. (A discussion of the entire area would be appreciated.) There was not a lot of pics on their site and apparently this is one of several parks owned by the same corporation.
Not cheap, but location, location, location.
Can we get in and out of the area in a 40 footer with a towed? i.e. don't like narrow dirt roads and similar trails wioth a MH.
Our target area is RMNP and Trail Ridge Road and Falls Creek Road areas with the towed.

RE: Things you might forget to do before leaving the campsite
:S It might be a good idea to make sure the parking brake on the towed is released. :E I left two skid trails about 1/2 mile long at Hunting Island SP before the two rear tires blew out. Never let anyone help you prepare to pull out.

RE: Damon Tuscany 42Q
We compared the 08 Damon Essence we have (souped up Tuscany) with the Tiffin Phaeton. Very close to the same design and equipment. The Damon won due to the 360 hp Cummins in the Tiffin vs the 425 hp in the Essence. Damon has a few things I would change (step well cover is a piece of junk and the navigation, stereo, DVD, backup camera combo is junk as well.
We might buy another one, but these issues will be addressed in the contract before money changes hands.

RE: How about a few good stories?
We had a family of Italians touring America in a SUV and tent camping. They were having trouble with a campfire and I was able to show them how to get it started and the kind of lighter they needed to find in the Black Hills. A little while later the husband shows up with some sort of delicious pasta dish made on the campfire. We didn't speak the same language, but communicated well.
We had another tent camper who must have been an expert at cast iron cookery. They made two blue berry/pineapple pies that were absolutely perfect in a Dutch oven. We had talked and apparently liked to hear a Southern accent and brought us a pie. We shared it with the paid (students) attendents in the CG. These were great people and knew so much more about tent camping than either of us.

RE: Needles Drive
It might surprise you, but the Gray Lines tour bus makes that trip through the tunnels at the Needles every day. They have to set up exactly right and drive straight through but I have watched it happen several times. Nothing I would attempt, but the guy who drives it is GOOD!!

RE: GPS Traffic Assist - I'm kinda impressed
I may be wrong here, so correct me if I am. This feature will only work when there is something broadcasting a signal to it, right? So a construction backup on I-75 in S Georgia or on I-90 in Montana might not show up?
Or, just how does the Nuvi know ??

RE: best place to buy a used motorhome
Some of the better deals I have seen are from private individuals - but there is seldom anything that even resembles a warranty or even a limited warranty there. You DO, however, save a large piece of change in sales tax (at least here in Ga)

RE: If you had it to do over...
Interesting lead up to the question. I'm sure most all of us would make some changes, however slight, it we could look forward from the time started RVing.
Right now, we are looking at doing the reverse of what you ave done. We would like to have a boat and be able to travel the Intercoastal Waterway (s) for a few years. I expet this would be completely different from our RV life since we try to find an RV park at the end of each day (for the electric and water)
We are fascinated by some of the sights we have seen, such as the canal through the Great Dismal Swamp or the canals and rivers in SC, Ga and Florida.
Problem is, I know nothing about buying a boat or how to navigate anything out of the site of land. Oh well!

Campground/RV park near Estes Park Colorado
Asked in another RV site and got no answer. Need to RV park near Estes Park Colorado to use as a basecamp to do some exploring in the area. Fifty amp and at least, WiFi would be a plus. Not really interested in any KOA (too crowded and too much $$ for what you get)
Loveland would not be too far away, but would rather have something closer to RMNP.
We intend to drive the Falls River Trail in the towed while there

RE: Old Detroit Diesel
We ran the 8V-71 in our road tractors hauling fuels years ago in the early 70s. With the Fuller RT-910 tranny this was a great engine. You had to stay on the tach and keep the revs up, but it ran great and had a lot of power for the huge loads we moved. Had a seal in the turbo go out one night and she started drining her own fluid. Over-reved before I could get the stop out and cut off the air. Threw a piston through the side of the block and broke the crank in two places.
Dixie engine in Atlanta had the engine out and another in place within 12 hours and the company decided to send us another truck with the Cummins instead. The new truck was the first White 'Road Boss' that I ever drove. It was fine, but didn't have the Detroit sound.

RE: Rv Dump Station In Athens Georgia
The sewage treatment station off Lexington Road at the By-Pass. Pull up to the ramp and open the valve(s) If you come in from the west you will smell it when you pass by. Turn right off Lexington onto Barnett Shoals (first right after you come under by-pass (Loop 10), then right on Bailey and follow it to the end. It will turn into Grove and then back to Bailey (I don't understand that one either). Treatment plant is at the end of the street.

RE: Blue Ridge Parkway
When you get to the Va area on the Parkwway, at The Meadows of Dan, try the Meadows of Dan RV Park. About 1/4 mile off the parkway to the left if headed north. FHU sites. Weather is always much cooler that far north than here in the sticky hot NE Ga area.

RE: R.I.P. Nascar........
Wouldn't it be cool if we had REAL stockcars like we did in the late 50's and 60's. NASCAR took the Stock out of Stock Car Racing years ago.
Give me the old days when a Pontiac, a Ford and a Chevy really was something you could actually buy. Not something that fit a template and cost an arm and a leg to see make left turns all afternoon.
I recall Lakewood Speedway in Atlanta years ago when you could actually tell a Ford and a Chevy apart and things like a Studebaker Golden Hawk ran with the big boys. Guess we can never go home again.
