Ctgriffi Posted January 23 Posted January 23 (edited) Not a whole lot to say, other than the trip went surprisingly well! Zero break-downs or mechanical problems with the truck, which was amazing and a real blessing. We did struggle with fridge operation during the first day due to COLD weather (as noted elsewhere), but got that figured out pretty quickly, with no further difficulties. Stayed off of major interstates for the most part, driving SE across MS, AL, and GA, before getting on I-75 for a few hours. I really enjoy that kind of travel in the Warrior—speeds are more doable and comfortable than highway travel, and there's just so much more to see in the small towns and rural areas. It took about 2.5 days of driving each way, with a week in between to visit folks in North-Central and Mid-Central Florida. Managed about 60-65mph for most of the trip. Most of the camping took place in state parks or recreational areas which is still my favorite way to overnight in the RV; prices and amenities are good, surroundings are beautiful, and I've just had a lot of good experiences over the years, across the nation. KOAs are often very nice, obviously, but usually out of my price range! I do like some of the mom-and-pop campgrounds, but they are a bit hit-and-miss, unless you have some solid, firsthand experience to trust (things can get weird, especially if they are places with long-term, full-time folks living there!). I have done the Walmart lot and truck-stop thing too, in the past, but that's a needs-must-only option for me... Favorite campgrounds on this trip were Whitten Park Campground in Fulton, MS (right on the water's edge!) and Reed Bingham State Park in Adel, GA. Favorite attraction was Highlands Hammock State Park in Sebring, FL, due to some amazing trails and gorgeous swamps! I didn't spend a lot of time taking photos, but here are a few, miscellaneous: (Included this ^ last one from the S&H Quick Stop in Imboden, Arkansas because a) it's a legit, historic service station—you just don't see these kinds of pumps in action much anymore! and b) yeah... my gas cap is still sitting on top of that thing, far as I know. Sigh.) Edited January 23 by Ctgriffi Quote
MaineJed Posted January 24 Posted January 24 Looks like a great trip! Not surprised that you had no mechanical issues, these rigs are hard to beat. Quote
