Making Reservations before Year End!

If your at home making cookies for the holidays and aren't in the camping mood quite yet, you should still consider making some of your 2011 reservations before year end.  You know how frustrating it can be when you wanna camp a certain weekend like Halloween and its all booked up everywhere. Now is your chance to jump on and get the sites you want for the weekends you want before everyones else remembers to book. I know for sure that Granite Hill in Gettysburg has three Halloween Weekends and they fill really quick if not already so call them.

20 30 & 50 Amp Plugs?

For all you new campers out there and a review for the seasoned veterans we are gonna talk a little about RV plugs and what size I need to be using.  If your a 50 amp unit its a no brainer, plug your unit in and hope it has enough juice to run both your air conditioners, your 3 daughters hair straighteners and what ever is keeping your beverages cold working. If your a 30 amp unit and your camping in a season in which your A/C unit isn't needed you should be fine. If its the summer time and your site has a 50 amp plug, get an adapter from 50-30 and use the 50 plug. This may or may not help you if its hotter out than two rats wrestling in a wool sock and your A/C unit is creating Niagra Falls down the side of your pop-up and making your entire bed wet. Your dog is so hot he is Licking the DinoVite Container. So If your not completely sure when making a reservation on what you need ask the office when you call. They know the campground the best and can help you in any way possible. If your not sure what the different plugs look like I have enclosed a photo for your viewing pleasure. If your in need of a A/C unit contact your local dealer for information. Most dealers can install one while you wait! Remember... If its really hot out and the campground is full, you might wanna be careful how many appliances you run in tandem with each other to lower your draw. For instance Evanne at RVCooking would never straighten her hair while using a electric griddle with both a/c units running on a 30 oulet in Pheonix in August.

SKI & RV?

Why not take your Camper on a Ski Trip or Shopping trip. Most campgrounds still have sites available with power and lots of propane. Some Campgrounds like Granite Hill in Gettysburg have showers and Bathrooms available all winter except over the Christmas Holidays. Granite Hill is only 15 minutes from the Gettysburg Outlets and 10 minutes from Ski Liberty. So when your planning your big shopping spree right before Christmas consider taking your mobile heat and wrapping station with you....Your RV!

Winterizing your RV

Howdy Campers,

As I sit here looking out at the snow falling I cant help but wonder how many water lines are popping and snapping in all those RV's that were never winterized. So if you are reading this and haven't pumped gallons of Pink Potion in your lines your RV water system is probably broken. I know that it is a pain and you might not know how to do it. With RV dealers like Endless Summer Rvs around that charge 75 bucks to winterize its much cheaper than the hundreds your gonna spend fixing your waterline that broke in an area you cant get to without disassembling half your camper. I know that some campgrounds even winterize campers for their clients like Granite Hill Camping Resort in Gettysburg PA. So if you haven't winterized your unit yet get to it!
