Just completed one of the best trips in a few years of RV camping. Spring Break last week for many on the East Coast, and we traveled with 2 other camper families down to Disney World in Orlando Florida staying at the Fort Wilderness RV campground.
Clocked just under 2k miles round trip. Averaged 8.5mpg pulling a 16k pound Fuzion toy hauler loaded down with golf cart in the garage. Everything with the tow went great, no mechanicals, no flats, some heavy traffic in spots, some detours due to accidents, extra capacity from a 50gal Titan fuel tank was fantastic, Garmin RV GPS with realtime traffic worked great, air-bags on the truck helped to level the load, and Tire Minder watching the tire temp/pressure gave some comfort.
Traveled down the Eastcoast, I95 majority of the way. Stayed 2 nights outside of Daytona at Beverly Beach Campground (http://beverlybeachcamptown.com) which is a small but quaint upscale “RV Resort” with slots that are LITERRALLY right on the ocean. Made great use of my rear patio pointed right over the beach.
The rest of the trip involved 7 days at Fort Wilderness (https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/resorts/campsites-at-fort-wilderness-resort/). That campground is fantastic! Really well laid out to maximize space and make for nice private slots. Easy access to the Disney parks and attractions as well of course. Between the upscale Beverly beach side and premium on Disney property campgrounds, I must say I’ve never seen so many high-end Class-A RV’s in a single trip. I’m talking impressive 500k plus diesel pushers fully loaded. It’s nice to dream…
