New Members from Alabama!

Welcome aboard! This is a great forum with some fantastic folks. Skipping the 3/4 ton for the the F-350 is an excellent choice! Same ride quality, higher payload, room to grow if you decide to get a larger RV some day (like we did).

That's what we were thinking. We toyed around with getting one of the bunkhouse models, thinking down the road when grand kids get old enough to go camping with us but given we currently have none, decided we'll deal with that later.

Welcome to the group. We hope y’all survived the hurricane. We are in the panhandle of Florida, and was blessed with no damage. We frequent the corps of engineers parks along the Alabama river. Safe travels to y’all

Hello,

Jeff and Susan here from Madison, AL. We are soon to be retired NASA engineers who have been camping since 1996 in a Coleman Utah pop-up camper. We'd always talked about getting a Class A diesel motorhome but decided instead to go with a GD 303RLS 5th wheel. Susan loves the floor plan. Currently, we are shopping for our tow vehicle. Initially I was thinking we could get by with a 3/4 ton truck but the numbers would be borderline for the 303RLS so we're looking at a 1 ton - F-350 SRW with 6.7L Diesel.

Anyway, this looks like a great forum with lots of wonderful contributors and we look forward to becoming part of the group.

The 303 was my wife's favorite floorplan--unfortunately for us we had to have a bumper pull. (We like our 315RLTS!) You won't be sorry if you get the F-350 SRW. Do yourself a favor and test drive one with adaptive cruise. Really like that feature in my truck!

Edit: And welcome to the forum! (Got so excited writing about the truck I forgot the most important part of the post.)

Welcome, we are just north of you. Another camp ground to try is Pickwick Tail Water, TVA.

We will certainly do that, thanks for the suggestion.

Guntersville State Park, Joe Wheeler State Park, Davy Crockett State Park (TN), Pickwick Landing State Park (TN), J.P. Coleman State Park, Florence's McFarland Park, Tishomingo State Park (S. of Iuka) and Point Mallard Campgrounds. Many TVA campgrounds on The River. All are within 2 hours of you.

I had a friend that camped most of the Spring and Summer in a motorhome. They only used 1 tank of fuel for the whole year. You just don't have to go very far in the Tennessee Valley to find fine campgrounds.
