Arrival in PA

We arrived in Pennsylvania on 6/30/2024. The trip here was relatively uneventful. I’m still getting used to towing the new RV. It’s only 4ft longer than our previous one but the turning radius is bigger with this one. We got off the highway to grab food and had difficulty navigating the parking lot. We needed fuel, however, the 2 gas stations off the exit were a no go for me to fit into. Thankfully we always start looking for fuel stops when we reach 1/2 tank to limit the stress when trying to find fuel.

We arrived at Stonybrook RV Resort without issue and were able to easily back into our site. The RV has auto leveling built in, once unhooked from the truck it will level itself with the push of a button. It sucks. I need to recalibrate it or something, had to manually raise the front by quite a bit to feel level.

We are here until 7/12/2024 where we head to Maryland for vacation in Ocean City.

We hope to post updates weekly.

Campground Notes:

Driveway was unpaved and very steep. Roads are alittle tight, but that could be due to my inexperience with this trailer

Cellular drops occasionally but otherwise enough bandwidth to work. Had to move Starlink twice to avoid the trees, worked pretty good once I had that worked out. Needed to switch back and forth between Starlink and cellular during the day a few times.

The Journey Begins…

Our 2024 plans are still a little fluid, but we are starting this journey with a 4-6 week trip to FL. Our intention is to downsize and move into the RV permanently upon our return to CT in late February. We plan to stop in Hilton Head, SC for a week to break up our trip. 

We left CT on Friday. 1/5/24 and made it to College Park, MD for the night and stayed at Cherry Hill Park. Saturday we drove through the rain all day and stopped at the KOA Journey in Lumberton, NC. Today was blue skies and warm for the final leg of our trip to Hilton Head, SC


We made it to Hilton Head, SC on Sunday, 1/7/24. We are staying at what is certainly the nicest campground we have ever been to, Hilton Head National RV Resort. We will be staying here until Saturday, 1/13/24


In my experience, no RV trip is without issue. On our first day of travel, somehow the small storage compartment door opened up while we were driving. I pulled off to get gas and I did not notice it until I heard the crunch of the truck bumper wrecking the hinges of the door. I had to use brute force to get the door to close, it won’t open now without prying it open. Something to fix at some point, in the meantime, I won’t use that compartment. :)
