You got me!!!

It was a great trip. Local about an hour and half away. Campground was dead. I mean absolute ghost town. My wife daughter dogs and I has the run of the place. Beautiful spot right on a pond. Bald eagles and good fishing. Hit a nice winery about 30 minutes to the west. Stayed 4 nights.

Looks awesome. Hoping to be in the NE states later this summer/fall. Trying to convince my wife to buy some land in NH.

Where are you headed in Pennsylvania?

Two campgrounds one north and one south of Harrisburg. Hershey park, Gettysburg, and family. Been a while since we have been back

Haven't towed the camper anywhere fun since we got back, been working on getting the house ready to rent while we full time travel in the camper.

We did pick these up. They'll go in a rack on the camper's receiver.

We are thinking of getting a couple e-bikes but there are so many options out there. What made you pull the trigger on these?

Biggest thing for us was weight. These will be riding around the country on the back of our camper, and were the best combo of features, quality, and weight that we could find. Also really liked the way they look and color options, and they fold up which was a requirement.

Have had them up close to 30mph throttle only on relatively flat ground. They have nice features (led head light and tail/brake light, turn signals, horn, cruise control, hydraulic brakes, etc.).

Another factor was availability. We were set on the Lectric XPremium, but they wouldn't have arrived before we take off. Those would probably be our next choice. The range on them was huge, so we ended up ordering to spare batteries and should be able to get 60-90 miles per trip from them.

Only knock I have so far is the front baskets we ordered. The mounting holes don't properly line up with the mounting location on the frame. Will see what they do to remedy that.

House is rented out and we're officially on the road full time. First stop was Big Lagoon State Park, not far from our house.

Towed another 1400 miles the last week plus. Averaged 10.2 MPG. WDH should be in Wednesday, then I'll be making another stop at the scales after install to check for adjustments.

Did have the 'Service Auto Start/Stop' message come on with a CEL. Turned the truck off, and the warning message was gone, but CEL light stayed on. Let it sit about 15 minutes, and both lights were off. Drove for another 300 miles without issue. Will have that checked out when I take it in for service soon.

I just read through this thread. Saw your solo.stove heat deflector. Does it work well? The biggest (and only) complaint is that it doesn't put out much heat in cold weather

Yep, it's worked great for us. Can sit back a bit and still get the heat. Only complaint I have is it's sometimes hard to get firewood in through the opening, but they've addressed that with longer legs.

Oklahoma City. Forgot to grab pictures of the site, but it was cookie cutter RV resort and forgettable anyway. It was also 100+ degrees every day we were there, so didn't do a whole lot.

Highlight of the trip was the steak at Cattleman's:
