Be careful! It is more likely to hook you in than getting over the fascination.

It is a pretty amazing place if it weren't for the 1000 other people checking it out.


When I had my dually and 5er, I had 98 gallon capacity with the auxiliary tank. The MH has 100. The Fort is almost exactly 1000 miles and GSP is 750. At 7mpg in the MH, I am still stopping somewhere each way. I prefer 8-9 hour days, but I often drive straight through coming home from the Fort and GSP. Depending on traffic, the Fort is usually around 16-17 hours.

I got used to driving long hauls when I raced sports cars. Those were typically get going and only stop for fuel until you get there. We were based out of the St Louis area and raced from Utah to Virginia and Wisconsin to Alabama.

I can drive my car to WDW from Athens, GA and go to the parks right when I get there and be fine (it's about a 7 1/2 hour drive). The truck can make it all the way down with no fill ups, however, the truck beats me up pretty bad so really 5 hours is my max. I can do 6 but I'm in a lot of pain if we do. That is even with one stop to walk around half way through. When we go anywhere in Florida from home with the RV, we always make one rest stop to pee and walk around then do an overnight stop as well. It's during that overnight we fill up the truck since it's unhooked. For WDW we tend to stop at a Walmart just before we get on the interstate in Macon, that's about a 2 to 2 1/2 hour drive. Then we stop overnight at Eagles Roost which is just north of the Florida/Georgia line. We stop one time at a rest stop in Florida before hitting the Fort. We always travel with our yorkie, who is 11 years old and needs a walk around about every 2 to 2 1/2 hours, like me she has bad hips and knees.
