Welcome and Gig' EM from another San Antonio resident. Just ask questions. You can post a general question or send a PM to people, they will answer you.
Check all the fuses on your converter. We had one blown on our previous camper (2009 Rockwood HW296) that would not allow the 12V from the battery into the converter.
We went to Ft Wilderness last December.
We drove from San Antonio so we went I-10. On the way there we stopped at a KOA just outside Pensacola, FL. Stay the night and head into Orlando the next day. Unless you are planning to visit NOLA I wouldn't, we take the I-12 to Baton Rouge and...
On our first popup, a 1980 StarCraft with a 9 ft box, we used a Portable A/C. Ours was a 14k Btu, it worked okay. We have had better luck with a 13.5K roof mount.
Many Portable A/C's claim the don't need draining. While I don't know how humid IL is, but here in South TX we would have to...
Howdy from another San Antonio resident. Good luck on your roof rebuild. Our first camper was a 1980 StarCraft StarFlyer and I had to rebuild the roof on it.
They allow beach camping at Padre Island National Seashore (PINS) and at Mustang Island State Park. Both of these are near Corpus Christi, TX.
PINS does have a 'campground', but it is more like a parking lot. However, you can see the beach and the Gulf of Mexico.
Mustang Island has a...
I personally have not used one. But last Christmas we went to South Padre Island and there was a snowbird (from Ohio I believe) who used one daily in the showers as they don't have any hot water in them. He would boil water and put it in two 5 gallon buckets and use that handheld shower.
Our first PUP was a 1980 StarCraft. We bought a 13K BTU portable A/C for it. We used vent it out where the tent ends zipped together.
It was not the most efficient setup, during the day it would get warmer that the set temp. But after the sun went down it would cool off well.
Those that...
Not wanting to scare anyone.
We did have the water valve on the Dometic toilet freeze and crack. Had to buy a new valve at Camping World. The parts guy there said had sold over 40 of those valves.
There are obviously many opinions regard the whole Disney package. I will add my [2C]. We went to the Fort the first week of December 2013. We spent about $3700 for 3 'adults' (included kids over 10) and 2 children for the campground, park tickets (7 days) and dining plan. We spend about...
