    I might add if you have this camper when you start to slide the front slide out, check the drawer in the front kitchen,it will come out and is not easy to see ,but will catch on the slide , mostly when the roads are rough,also the door between the living and the bedroom will crack open and catch on the slide . I watch the outside and my wife watches the inside so please don’t ask her anything about this 😅

    Nice review and video! I do miss you guys traveling in your RV. With the cold weather coming, I would assume it may be winterized. Then again, a lot of people don't camp when it's cold. We live in central Florida and camp year round. You are one of the channels that inspired us to start our own. We just posted our first video. Please click our logo and visit and leave a comment.

    Looks like it was a nice place. I must've missed what you didn't like about the pool. I wasn't paying that close attention, but the clips that showed it seemed as I'd expect. My wife and I spent a long weekend at Gulf State Park in Gulf Shores late Oct last year and really enjoyed it. Full hookups and a nice site (we got #10), but not the concrete slabs and resort style you seem to prefer. The park is very well maintained, with many miles of paths for walking or biking, much of it on elevated boardwalk over marshy areas. We spent half a day biking the trails. Many facilities on site, including a restaurant (didn't try it). I believe there's a beach access across the highway from the entrance, but keep in mind that is about 1/2 -1 mile from the campsites. We didn't try that, but used a different beach access about a mile or two east on our way back from DQ in Orange Beach. It was also pay parking, but did have a path through the dunes to get out to the water. One thing we did discover about the area: dogs are prohibited on the Gulf Shores beaches. From the interwebs, Dauphin Island is the nearest beach access where you can bring dogs along.
