Cape Charles Chesapeake Bay KOA (Cape Charles, Virgina)
Переглядів 599Місяць тому
This fabulous campground is located on Virginia’s Eastern Shore, just north of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel. With several types of campsites and cabins plus a ton of amenities, the Cape Charles / Chesapeake Bay KOA has everything you need to relax at the beach. In fact, we had three generations of Chickery's camping at the beach with us and everyone had a blast from the pool and playground ...

    Hey, just found you guys and thank you so much for the video. Very informative . We will be coming through Swift Run Gap to stay at Big Meadows. We will need to fill up our 40 gallon water tank for the week and I know it’s at Byrd visitor center from what I’ve read. Is this correct? If so, do you remember which side of the visitor center it is on? We will probably pull in there before we head to our booked campground. I’m having a hard time finding it on a map or satellite image.

      Sorry I just saw this. Hope I'm not too late. From what I recall, the potable water fill is by the dump station. You'll turn off Skyline Dive at Byrd Visitors center, then go straight about 1/2 to 1 Mi. to the first right and proceed straight approx 1/4 mi to the utility area on the left.

      Sorry you didn’t like the video, but we filmed it that way with a purpose. You can go to Northwood’s website for a 360° tour of the RV and zoom to your heart’s content. We wanted to show specific areas and discuss pros and cons and what we learned about it after spending time in it.

    I had a seasonal site here in the mid 80's. So close to all things hiking in NH. I didn't spend much time on site as I was always off enjoying Mother Nature. I don't think it was a KOA back then it was just called Broken Branch.

    These are great to rectify high voltage readings that you may get from charger which causes absorption to early.i used on easysolar/multi, connection direct to battery with rj45 back to charger/inverter,it worked a treat,the Bluetooth information is a bonus, because i have a digital multi panel this overides the dongle so i cant change multis/easysolar settings,no biggie so long as the correct voltage is given to unit. The dongle also supports smart networking. I agree having to having to fork out 4 all these extra little knick knacks is getting tiresome.

    Have you added a hard wired surge protector? And have you considered disk brakes? I like the things you've done. I keep my tools in small storage on exterior door side and have two bins to keep fresh water supplies and second for sewer line items. I don't use the rear bumper. BTW, we use the pantry for a couple things you may want. A toaster and a coffee maker as well as for food storage. Video overlooked pointing out the good storage in the bathroom I believe. That's, of course, as you know, very handy. Our 27-5L is a 2015 model and doesn't have a few of the nice additions your has. Sometimes I have wished we had either a 15K AC in main room or also that second AC in bedroom. We did remove the original love seat recliner and put in a Lazy boy love seat recliner. I need that comfort! :-) I see your door to bedroom swings open away from bedroom. Ours is opposite. Either way, I mounted a teak handle to the stair wall for safety. I'm 83 and my balance isn't what it used to be. :-( The exterior stairs you have didn't work for us as we store in an area where we would not be able to get in to the RV. So we have the original steps and happy with them. Talked too much for know, so I stop here! Happy Camping.:-)

    • @ChickerysTravels
      @ChickerysTravels 7 місяців тому

      I love hearing about all the different modifications people have made to their campers. We have a portable Progressive EMS instead of the hardwired one. We haven’t thought about disc brakes because the current set up seems to be working fine. I love the heavy duty steps, but I have heard others have the same space limitations as you. We plan to change our recliners out soon for a pullout love seat bed for our grandson. The lack of second sleeping space is my only issue with it.

    Over many years, my wife and I stayed at Trumbo and Sigsbee many, many times. I know we spent part of our winters in KW, and had a wonderful time. One time, at Trumbo, and lady walked up and said "I see you have Virginia tags." Yes, we said. The lady then said "I'm from a little town in Virginia that you've never heard of. She said: Hopewell. My wife and I laughed as my wife raised her family in Hopewell. My wife and this lady only lived a couple of streets from each other, but never knew each other. What a small world.

    I've never done this either (about to do the same replacement for the same reason). Are there risks of depressurizing the system or getting air in the lines? Is there a break in (i.e. cycling the jack several times)? The jack comes with zero instructions.

    • @ChickerysTravels
      @ChickerysTravels 9 місяців тому

      I had the same problem...no instructions. I did not see a break in period. I cycled the jacks a few times (while hooked to the truck) to purge any air out. Technically, it should just be that line that has any air, but I cycled them all.

Didn't even notice the background music, was too busy watching and listening to what you said. As to torque values and wrench sizes, I imagine those would be specific to your jack and installation. There are several different sizes of jacks depending of course on the weight of your RV. This was a DIY video, not a Disney + production. Give the guy a break!
