RE: Bought a travel trailer over the weekend!!
THat is not the 28-HSSL I am not sure of the model but I have the HSSL and it only has the small slide with the MINI couch. I also traded up from a PUP but I sold the PUP to one of my best friends and now we have someone else to camp with! Enjoy your TT!

RE: Bought a travel trailer over the weekend!!
coachjeff, enjoy the football games. Do they play away games near any good camping spots?
No the away games are to close to home to justify camping except maybe in the driveway!

RE: Did that really happen?
Last year on a trip to Gulf Shores Al. our little voice (NUVI) said to turn left here and I ended up in a elemntary school parking lot instead of the road that used to go to the campground thanks toi hurricane Ivan, and later was told to turn right and if I did I would have ended up on a boat ramp to the Gulf, This also used to be a road until Katrina! so I do not always trust the litle voice my kids call "Tina"

RE: Gas availability on Silverado CC
I just got back from a 2400 mile trip and at one station I put 24.81 gallons in a 26 gallon tank. Pulling my trailer I get about 9 MPG so i figured I could have went maybe 11 more miles, thank goodness that station was where it was!!! I have a GMC crew cab so it is theoretically the same as the OP's truck

RE: How Many Hours???
When you look at some of these replies it appears like most are like my parents, retired and not in a hurry to get to anywhere fast, which is great as I intend to be the same way when I retire. However as I am among the working class for a lot more years than I like I only have a limited time off and the destination is more important to me than the trip to get there. This is the price i pay for being a CAMPER and still have to work a full time job. So with that being said I just got back from an 11 day trip to VA and a 16 hour drive driving 6 hours 1 day and 10 the next day going out there and 12 hours the first day coming home and 4 the second. I am the only driver and afetr 12 I was ready for a nights sleep. Slept in a Cracker Barrell lot and a nice breakfast the next morning and home by 11:00 the next day. So alot has to be said for how much tiome you have for any given trip.

RE: outside camper showers
We use ours every trip out, would not buy a trailer without one! used for filling dishpans to wash up after cooking and eating outdoors, rising off before going in the trailer. very handy to have!

RE: Mothballs and Mice?
I will sometimes leave the trailer on our property which is in the middle of the woods and when I did last year i got mice in it. So far this year I have left it for 2 months and I just scatterd the moth balls under the trailer and not in it and have yet to find mice. No I did not do moth balls last year as I just heard about trying them this year and so far so good!!!

RE: dutchmen trailers
I have had a Dutchmen 28H-SSL since the summer of 2007 and I have not had any issues at all. The quality is there. The only issues I have had were my stupidity. We have spent almost 20 nights in it this year and have a 12 day trip in July planned. We have been very pleased. We have been looking at a possible upgrade to get qaway from having the bunk beds as it is down to only 1 of our 3 kids are still going with us and I would like to have a rear living area with chairs, so we will see what they have to offer when we are ready.

RE: the value of a walk around
OK I have not been wanting to tell on myself BUT! I did not do my walk around last Friday since I was in a big hurry. lond story short electric cords do not stretch very far before they fly out of the trailer and also pull the plug off of the house!!! noone to blame but me. 30 minutes later had the trailer repaired and on the road. Still have to reconnect the plug on the house but that will take redoing some siding as well.

RE: Just returned from trip to DC
We are leaving July 1 for the same area, only we are staying in VA at Prince William State forrest. Actually staying at Travel Trailer Village. Has anyone had any experience with them? I do not want to hijack this just curious. We will be doing the DC thing as we will only be 30 minutes south. Is there anything that we should not miss and or anything that we should? We will be there through July 11.
