Official 'Post a Picture of your Campsite at FW' Thread

[jeeprider09]

yes! it's a 2000 coleman fairview.. is yours the same year? we love our pop up and think it's sooooo roomy with that dinette slide out. we went camping a few weeks ago with another family that also has a pop up, but they kept telling us they had "pop up envy" b/c we had so much space inside!

Yep it's a 2000! Well I have to say, IMO it's the best floorplan Coleman made Hence the pop-up ENVY! I made a couple of mods recently and now think it's pretty much perfect for us.

Here's a pic from April at the fort! (pre mods)

Here's a pic of my whole rig from the same trip.

btw..i saw your countdown ticker. we will be camping again for memorial day weekend as well!.. we'll keep an eye out for our camper's twin!

Alright I'll keep an eye out too... I tried requesting a site in 1500 this time! Never tried this before ,but we'll see

We have been to Gulf Shores State Park several times. It use to have a good number of trees and shade but since the hurricane Katrina and a couple of others, alot of the trees have died from the salt water intrusion. It is a quick drive to the beach. I have friends who were just down that way in a condo and so far the beaches and water are clean......no oil as of last week.
Have a great time.

we've tried requesting before and we weren't able to get 1500..i think it was b/c we arrived too late, around 8:30pm. when checking in were were told that no sites in 1500 were left and maybe if we'd arrived closer to check in time we would have had more luck. SHOW UP EARLY! we ended up liking the 2000 loop and sprung for the golf cart.. now whenever we go we can't NOT get one- our kids are asking immediately "where is the golf cart??"

oh and your camper looks great!! curious to your mods b/c looks like it doesn't need a thing! hubby was thinking about putting laminate floors in ours..but our linoleum is practically new looking

1500 Loop, site 1501. Right behind the bus stop and just to the left of the comfort station. It was an AWESOME site! We're going again next week and we are really hoping for a site in the 1500 loop again. Definitely not a fancy set up as we are new to the whole camping thing. But we were comfortable.

Love this thread!!!! Just talked DH into building me a teardrop camper and ordered plans this week. Hope to have it ready for a few test trips in the local area by next spring and then to The Fort Dec 2011.

 

[tmbrea]

Site 2014, Water, Electric, Cable, short distance to comfort station.

I really like the set up. But I have to ask, when it rains do you have any leakage were your easy up shelters meet?

Me too! Carol, you are one of the most resourceful campers that I have ever met!

If you are into teardrops, then you need to check out:

http://www.mikenchell.com/forums/ - This is teardrops and tiny travel trailers. A great forum for help with building a teardrop.

www.tearjerkers.net

This is a small trailer camping group. Check out the different state chapters and find a gathering near you to visit during your build. You will get some GREAT ideas.

Have already been on both sites while looking for plans, am always looking for ideas though. Saw pics of one with a slide on tales and trails yesterday and for sale in Lufkin....only a couple hours away from us.

[daddyphat808]

Is that a 23b? If so where did you get the screen room add on thing?

 

[stefa70]

Yes daddyphat808, that is a 23B! I can't remember where we got the add a room, but I do know camping world has them. It is called a "patty O room." I know they are expensive, but so worth it! We would have been miserable the last 5 days at the fort without it as the yellow flies were vicious! It's also nice to have that extra room for shoes, grill, (and dog) It also helps to cut down on those darn coquino shells in the rv, that the fort uses on their slabs. Here is another pic taken from the back so you can see it is almost the whole length of the rv. I call it my triple wide (with the slide out)

I have a Jayco 23B also and I like that add a room. My have to think about picking one up. How does it connect to your awning?

 

[stefa70]

To attach the add a room, you have to put "snap-like doodads" on the side of rv, which the screen room attaches to. There are tension rods that work with your existing awning to hold the tops of the sides up. The big panel in the front just slides into the groove of the awning, then the whole thing zips together to make it pretty airtight. I know there are proper names for all these parts, but everyone knows what doodads are right?!
It takes about 15 minutes to set up and/or take down, but well worth it! We had the same thing on our p/u so when we bought the tt and didn't have one, we felt NAKED and missed it bad. Expensive, but makes a world of difference if your spending any length of time camping.
