      We're moving from Maine to Milton, Florida next week, less than one hour from Camp Gulf. I visited while down buying a new home to be built and the place was amazing. The staff was very friendly and they gave me a fantastic brochure. I look forward to hooking up my East to West Alta and hanging out at the RV parks all along the Gulf. Like a permanent vacation when we are off the road traveling Spring and Fall.

    Heard your discussion re: Blue Ox and Equalizer WDH. I had a 31' TT that I almost lost control of in 35 mph crosswinds in Texas. The TT had a dealer installed an El Cheapo WDH with one friction sway controller. I had tightened the controller and later discovered the small mounting ball shank had bent from the force of the crosswind. Sometime later I met a guy who swore by the Hensley he had on his Airstream. Did a little research and settled on Pro Pride's version of the Hensley. Installed it myself. Never had a problem with crosswinds or passing vehicles again.

    You left Chiefland too soon. Missed Manatee Springs State Park. We camped there a lot when I was a teen. There used to be a Catwalk that went out the Run to the Swanee River. You could tie up your boat to it. I was so jealous of the boats. Grew up in Jacksonville Fl. After school I joined the Navy and when I got out moved to NC. I had a boat and pulled it to the State Park while my parents were camping there. Took my Boat down the River to the mouth of the Gulf. Beautiful ride. Florida wilderness. Now the catwalk has been moved to the. Cyprus trees.

    I have the trailer backup system on my F-150 and hate it. I have been backing up too long to relearn how. I can see it being good for people new to towing and for short trailers (think single place jet ski) because it will not jackknife it on you. I also have an Equal-i-zer hitch on a 28’ boat trailer. Works great! I’m towing within 120 pounds off my GCWR and it handles the weight beautifully.

    Another great advantage to "no trees" is for us RVers with satellite dishes on our roofs. We spend several weeks every year in Oregon state parks (which we love) and will have no TV for 2 weeks at a time because of the beautiful forests. So, we appreciate it more when we stay in places that don't have so many trees and we get our satellite back.

    Super video guys!
    We really hope to get to FLA when we can (from Canada) sometime soon.
    We have been following KYD for years and it is "what we watch" on Sunday nights.
    Cheers! Garry & Dar - Roving RVers

    Missed you by 2 days - the storm hit Pensacola Beach RV Resort the night before we pulled in. We moved to Camp Gulf the following Thursday.
