  1. Gas mileage for new ford 7.3 liter engine pulling 5th wheel

    I am thinking of getting a Ford gas engine with 7.3 Liter 10 speed transmission (either 250 or 350) to pull my 2021 Reflection 303RLS. I wanted to stay with gas instead of diesel if it is economical. I know diesel gets better gas mileage, but this new 7.3 has some potential! Does anyone have some experience with Ford's new Godzilla engine?

  2. Hydraulic solutioning

    We're in a 5er with 6 point hydraulic jacks and three hydraulic slides (one electric slide) and we encountered a puzzling situation where our jacks would always retract when we pulled in the hydraulic slides, sometimes a little, mostly fully retract.

    Pros:
    - The young people that checked us in (ages 14-16 I'm guessing) were quite friendly and helpful (but ...

  4. Awesome remote park with great wifi and ultimate hosts: Lynchburg/Blue Ridge KOA

    Beautiful park in the woods, but only 20 mins to Food Lion, Walmart, Advanced Auto. Hosts and staff are amazing, very friendly and the most engaged we’ve ever seen and service is top-notch - they deliver packages, mail, wood, propane and even RV materials when I changed out my hot water anode! They installed more Wifi antennas around the park and I was able to get 27Mbps download and 4 Mbps fairly consistently – which is top speed for any park thus far across the country. There are plenty of activities ...

  5. VA Beach HoLiday Travel Park

    Quick Review of Holiday Trav-L-Park in Virginia Beach. I'll post the official review on Campgroundreviews.com but capturing a few key data points here:

    Pros:
    - Big park, wait that's also a con, but there are so many sites to select from here.
    - Our site was nice, with a patio, fire pit and almost enough room for our Tow Vehicle
    - Awesome bike riding park, perhaps our favorite, you can literally get lost in the park plus there's plenty of external awesome bike ...
