RV's anyone???

Published

Haven't traveled for almost 7 years. Am contemplating a return. Don't want to do the extensive move every thirteen weeks thing I did in 1990's and am thinking I want to purchase a "Toy Hauler" to bring my garage and toy's with me. I know the price of fuel will almost equal the cost of the vehicle per year but I just remember how much I hated to pack and unpack with every new assignment. I know some who travel with a suitcase, a plate, fork, spoon and some bed linens but I just can't. I even shipped my Kitchen stuff to Hawaii when I did that assignment. What's it like out there now?

I will be in Leesburg from Jan 21st thru April 18th. I think a rally sounds like fun. I would be willing to help any way I can.

Ok, it's only been a day and there seems to be interest. Now we need to decide when and where. My thought is for a long weekend. I'm on 12 hour shifts and no weekends (except call) so I have some free time. Am able to request days off (in advance) so setting a date (or days) will be the first order. My current contract is up to the 15 of Feb. but I am hoping to extend till late Spring/Summer. (School is out)

After the date is location. A place where one of us is already parked would be ideal. Easier to contact the management and determine if there would be any issues and how to arrange for a group to be able to park together.

I posted a poll on another site and have had 8 responses. 4 interested and 4 not. If you are very interested in helping or taking charge email me by clicking on the envelope under my screen name and send me a direct email. Look forward to responses and will keep you updated on this site.

There is a great resort that is affordable in ft. myers, Groves RV resort and up north in Jacksonville is Hanna park which is right on the water, Groves is 2 mi from small public beach but they have lots of room for rv's especially not in season..hope this helps

Also a nice place in Juno Beach that's really nice but might be crowded...across from beach

The responses on this site stopped on the 4th and there has not been any new interest on the other two sites I posted a question or poll on. If my count is correct there are three (myself included) who are interested in a "rally". Should make it fairly easy to decide when and where. I have to move from my current spot in April. Will be going just around the corner to another park but while I am hooked up, would be easy to do a little road trip. Other than making sure I have the taxes filed I don't have any other plans. US 27 has a couple of parks out in the open North of the Lake. I haven't visited them but they are in the center of the state so it should be comparable distance from either coast. I don't have any problem with Ft. Myers or Juno, Jacksonville is a bit farther than I would want to go unless it was June and I was heading to Utah. Don't think any of those interested are up North, but I could be wrong. Let me know if you are still interested and what your park suggestions are. I can take a day and Ride to a few around the area to talk to the managers and check them out.

Fort Myers is AWESOME in April. Groves would be good or I am staying at San Carlos RV Resort in Fort Myers Beach. Smaller, but on water. Wonderful people! 1 mile over the bridge to the beach and wonderful restaurants and fishing. Phone # here to check availability for 2 more sites (I am already booked in) 239-466-3133

We saw that park when we were at Groves and it looked interesting, smaller. What water is it on, the bay? Either park would be good depending on the amount of people..

Robin, It is on the bay & yes it is smaller... We needed access to the trolley as we only had one car & no bike. Your pics worked and look great! :)

Yes the photos worked well. Sounds like Ft. Myers has the most interest so far. If I'm reading correctly April is the target month in mind too... Have saved the info (i hope) and will continue to monitor the comments. I have a friend at work who has family on the West Coast. I will ask her about things too.
