RV Park Reviews
North Myrtle Beach RV Resort
Updated – April 25, 2021 – New Construction – We have always loved the shoreline of South Carolina near the NC border. We spent many a summer at Holden Beach, NC renting an oceanside home. The crowds you find in Myrtle Beach are not there. It’s quiet, great beaches and there is plenty of fresh seafood. We wanted to find something similar in an RV park.
Heritage RV Park
Newly Updated as of April, 2021. This would not be a holiday or vacation location in our opinion. However, if your looking for a short stay to visit with a family member that might be stationed at FT Gordon and you are not military this is minutes away from Gate #1. Maybe you are headed east on I-20 to the beaches of GA or South Carolina, the perfect spot to overnight is right here. Fortunate enough to have tickets to the 2020 Masters Tournament, they have a special rate for you and Augusta National is but 15 to 20 mins away.
Carlsbad KOA
I felt it was time to revisit this review and update our findings on the RV Park. We have now stayed twice at this location so this review will reflect both of those stays. The park is located approximately 25 miles north of downtown Carlsbad off route 285. This puts you about 50 mins or so northeast of the main attraction Carlsbad Caverns National Park. There are three other RV parks in the area that would put your closer to the National Park. After taking in several reviews of the park choices we felt this KOA would be our best option given the reviews of the other locations.
Cooking Road Tested
Chicken Florentine
This is another go-to recipe for Ginny and I. No need for a ton of pots and pans, you can do this in one 12″ nonstick pan. The flavors are all very well balanced, and this recipe is a crowd pleaser. It can be easily thrown together with a side of rice or quinoa to soak up all the Florentine sauce. To make the side easy pick up a microwave bag of Seeds Of Change Quinoa.
Portobello Melt Dipper
Hey there fans of vegetarian meals as you travel, here is your recipe. My wife enjoys a break from the meat every other day menu that typically happens on this rig. Simple, quick, tasty, fresh ingredients and easy to prepare on an RV is this.
Key Lime Pie
This fresh desert can be cooked in either a conventional oven or a convection/microwave oven. In fact, originally, other than setting the crust, this pie was not even cooked! Nowadays, of course, we do in order to kill any bacteria in the egg yolk.

RV Upgrades
Vortex Fan
Great little fan. Sucks so much air it creates a vacumm on our bathroom door. Looks good, overall good quality, fit as easy as claimed, and took all of 40 minutes to install seamlessly. My guess is i could have cut this down with another set of hands.
Mr. Beam
Interior lighting at night on the RV has always been an issue for us. We struggled with solutions, from flashlights to battery operated led lights. Each had their draw backs, fumbling with switches in the dead of night the main one.
Get A Grip
Ginny and I were not big fans of your factory entrance door handle. With our set up, the interior shade would partially block the interior grip. Additionally there was very little room to grab the handle to close the door.
Tips
Propane Monitor
Propane management is certainly very important particularly durning cold weather. Yes you can spend $80.00 to install a monitoring system that you can read on your levels on a smart phone.
Microwave Safe
One of our early discoveries while we were on our maiden trip was the glass rotating tray in the microwave presented a problem. As we traveled the tray would take a beating bouncing around as we moved down the road.
Memorably Trips
You Think Your Ready
We get a call from our Daughter the night before, she could use our help. I foolishly suggest we load up the rig and go in the morning. That, of course, comes from overconfidence.
And So It Begins
So, we are about to commit to a very big life style change. I did not sleep well last night. I had a ton of anxiety about driving the rig home for the first time.
Itineraries
RV Arrives
The manufactures were having difficulty keeping up with demand. Undaunted, we forged ahead with our plans and made our purchase decision. Now for our final installment in this series. After the promised, 10-12 week build schedule our Grand Design Solitude 310GK-R has arrived in Cookeville, TN. Here are the details of the delivery, PDI, and our Shakedown run.

RV For Sale we took you through the efforts we made to sell outright or go the trade-in route.The surge of RV sales brought on by COVID-19 diminished inventories at the dealerships.
