We just returned from our trip to Gallatin Tn to the Cages Bend Campground. With our Senior discount it was only $11 per night right on the lake! It's a Corp of Engineer site so you know it's great! Sites are big, bathrooms are clean and the folks are friendly. What more could you want? Here...

Folks, Recently I had the opportunity to go to the 150th Anniversary Commemoration of the Battle of Perryville in Perryville KY. I had never been to a Civil War reenactment and it was incredible! At the original battle over 72000 men were in the area of the battle. When it was over over 7600...

Folks, I have been pulling the trailer for one week, with another two weeks to go. My CI looks like crap already with pollen and tree stuff all over it. It's gonna need a wash before I head home for sure. Any ideas on how to handle an automatic car wash? What type etc? Thanks! Ken

As a photographer I am always looking for opportunities in the Midwest and East to photograph bird migrations, landscapes, macro nature and other natural habitats. Since my wife works full time, I was looking to take a "photography-only" trip this Fall by myself to somewhere for 3 to 5 days...

We had a wonderful time this past week for three days in Columbus Ohio, just a four hour drive from home. This was our first time at an RV Park. We stayed at the Cross Creek Camping Resort in Delaware OH. It has a nicely tree'd and garden ambiance overall. Plenty of shade for sure. There were...

The Consumer Electronics Assoc CEA and the NAB, National Broadcasters Assoc have formulated a wesbite to help you determine what direction to aim your digital antenna. This could be great for your antenna at a new campsite location. Check it out! http://www.antennaweb.org

I think i have found a nice way to attach the Clearstream 2 Antenna to the tongue of the trailer! I also have a Hitch Helper that is great in helping me hitch the trailer without an assistant. Its a pole with a mirror on top and a super strong magnet. The Clearstream2 antenna needs a pole for...

Cages Bend COE Campground in Gallatin TN. Utopia with a Zip Code!

Yo, Just thought I would take a few minutes to describe our trip to Cages Bend in Gallatin TN this past week. What a wonderful trip of 3 nights and 4 days in our new 550 Ultra called "Trippster". After all our last name is Tripp, so you can only guess where the name came from! We were only 20...

Folks, Does anyone know anything about this canopy on the link below? Who makes it? Likes, dislikes if you own one? Thanks all. http://www.appalachianteardrop.com/gallery.php?g=1

Folks, I just wanted to thank the Camp Inn folks, namely Cary, Craig and Marty and crew for the incredible job they did in building our 550 Ultra and spending the day training us when we picked it up, and some time with us a day later. This just shows us that they are willing to do anything to...

Yo, A question came to mind as we were leveling the trailer yesterday. How anal are you about putting the bubble in the middle of the level? The Lynx levelers I guess would work in most cases, hover, when we put a level to the trailer, we raised the right side to where the bubble was in the...

Hi all, Just wanted to post a few updates. 1. Since our last name is Tripp, we decided to name our brand new 550 Ultra the "Trippster" Make sense? 2. We just completed our first overnighter! It took us awhile to do this. First of all we didn't think we would be camping this early in the...

Yo, In anticipation of getting our TD in march, I think I figured out how to handle footwear, coming and going from the TD at night. I think we will be using Crocks in the warm weather and leave them outside at night. We can then change into heavier footwear from the TV during the day. I am...

Yo, What is everyone using for care of the cabin and galley wood? Is there a specific brand of wood cleaner, wax or protectant to get or avoid? Thanks all! Ken in Louisville

All, I stumbled upon a site by a couple traveling full time in a large RV. They have done a great job of summarizing every campsite that they have stayed at, including photos. Thought you may like to review. Hope you enjoy it. PS, even though they are also from Louisville, it is purely a...
