RE: I do not know if i can go camping after my wife passed away
This is certainly a tragedy loosing your dear wife, and I can’t imagine what you are going through. I am a big fan of Dave Ramsey (The financial guy), and watch him regularly on the Fox Business Channel. He regularly gets calls from folks who have lost a spouse and are seeking advice on some financial matter. He always advises the folks to never make any major financial decisions or moves for the first six months. For example selling a home or liquidating major assets. He says to take time to grieve, cry, and hug those kids or grandkids.
Again, I can’t begin to imagine what you are going through, but I think Dave’s advice could be used here, don’t make a major decision for a few months, like I can’t go camping anymore and I am going to sell my RV. Take some time to grieve and hold those grandkids a little closer for a while, and may God Bless you during this difficult time.

RE: Do you remove toiletries for winterizing?
I always take all of ours out and take them in the house, and just use them up, and then buy new in the spring for the RV.

RE: NuWa stops production
Well, for all NuWa owners, I hope that the statement from their president, Mr. Ford, "We will never close our parts, warranty and service departments. Those will remain open." holds up. I think that is a rather bold statement considering the current economic climate.

RE: Campground in North Carolina with Indoor Pool
I would 2nd Capt Picky on the KOA in Cherokee. Stayed there several years ago and the indoor pool was very nice and fairly large as I remember.

RE: Maxxis tire question
I put a new set of Maxxis on my 5th wheel back in April. I got mine at Discount Tire. They had to order them for me. Not sure if they are in Mass. or not, but they are a fairly large national tire chain, and I can get them warrantied at any Discount Tire.

RE: Lakeside campground walterboro SC ??
Don't know about Lakeside, but would 2nd the New Green Acres post. It is a great place for a stop over. Right off I-95, easy in and out. The sites are hugh pull throughs, so don't have to unhook if you don't want to. A number of resturants at that exit, including Cracker Barrel. We stopped over there on the way back from Disney in late May.

RE: Weber Q for a family of 6?
I have the Q120 for 4 of us, and I love it. That works out about right for chicken, steaks, and burgers for the 4 of us. You will probably have to cook more items for 6 after the initial cooking. I don't think the difference in weight is all that much. If you have the room to store the Q220, then I would recommend that for a family of 6. If space is tight, and you don't mind loading the grill twice for cooking if you will, then the Q120 would work. Either way, definately get the wheeled cart. You can't beat a Weber.

RE: Differant rates at Ft Wilderness
As stated, the time of year has a lot to do with it. They also honor AAA. I got a pretty good discount back in May when we were there.

RE: Myrtle Beach in October
Ray, I go on 1 or 2 golf only trips with the guys every year to MB. If that is what you are looking for, then I have a couple of suggestions. The Legends Resort out on 501 is at the top of the food chain, along with the Barefoot Resort. I think they have a mutual thing now, and their courses are some of the best MB has to offer.
If you are looking for an Ocean Front hotel/resort that offers golf packages, then the Sands Ocean Club is pretty good. They have a beach bar onsite, Ocean Annies. I think it is still open that time of year, with live bands, etc. I have stayed and played there also.
I have stayed and played at the Legends for 13 straight years. The golf condos, practice facility, and the club house, where the breakfast buffet is served every morning, is 1st class. Since this is a guys trip, rumor has it there are other establishments of interest fairly close buy, that I am not sure I can mention on this forum. Have fun!

RE: 2009 Myrtle Beach
We go to Ocean Lakes every year. The others mentioned are fine, but I think the overall amenities at Ocean Lakes has them all beat. OL gets a lot of bad press on here concerning the golf cart traffic. OL is the largest oceanfront campground in the US. They have close to 900 transient campsites, and tons of houses, etc. in other parts of the campground. I think golf carts are a neccesary thing, due to the imense size of this place. Could you imagine that many vehicles driving around in there?
So, if you think the golf carts would be an issue for you, then you need to stay away from OL, PL, and Lakewood. The carts really don't bother us, but that is us. MBTP would be the place for you. They don't rent carts, and I have stayed there also, and it is a nice place. As others have advised, you better decide and call today, because they do book fast.

Is Pilgrim the next RV Manufacturer causality?
Saw this at rvindustry news web site. Doesn't sound good.
MIDDLEBURY, Ind. -- Pilgrim International has ceased operations, the company confirmed to RV Industry News today.
According to an official statement read by a company operator, "We have ceased operations until further notice. We have hopes of restarting and will recontact you once our status is known," she read."Pilgrim has not closed and has not filed bankruptcy."
She would not elaborate as to the reasons for the closure.
However, a source contacting RV Industry News said the problem with a financial institution had resulted in a number of bounced checks.

RE: Coleman?
Well there may some hope for the Coleman brand. Seems that they have licensed the Coleman folding camper brand to a manufacturer in Somerset, PA. Check the story out.

RE: First-time diesel fueling with trailer
We just made the DisneyWorld trip from NC back in May. There are plenty of Flying J's, Love's, and Pilot facilities along I95, which I assume you will be mostly on? These work like a champ for those of us pulling large trailers. I would suggest you stick to these, and you shouldn't have any issues.

RE: RN Travel and hospital/campground locations??
Faith:
There is a thread "Travel Nurses" by Rhonda over in the workamping forum related to this subject. I think there is about 50 post in it. It looks like this lady has traveled around a fair amount and might be able to offer you some really good advice. Good luck and the thread is:

RE: Did Anyone See the Special on the Winnebago Factory?
Thanks to mehwwh's post, I set the DVR for the 1:00PM Saturday time, and then watched it this past Sunday afternoon. I thought the manufacturing process was pretty impressive. I was most surprised at how much stuff Winnebago manufacturers themselves at their various facilities in Iowa. A good example of good ole American manufacturing and craftmanship.

RE: Forest River or Coachman???
We have had our Coachmen Chapparal for almost 5 years. I have pulled it around a fair amount, and just haven't had any problems with it. The biigest thing I have had is appliance recalls. Can't really blame that on Coachmen. All were repaired at no cost. Approaching the 5 year mark this year, I had the wheel bearings repacked, put a new set of Maxxis tires on it, and had to do some chalking on the roof this spring. It was just time to renew some of the chalking. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another Coachmen
