RV Park Reviews
Land Of Waterfalls RV Park
This might not be the campground for everyone. If you’re looking for all the amenities of the larger resorts, they’re not here. However, if you are looking for a great location close to the mountains this might be it.
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.
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
Magne Shade
The patented Magne Shade™ system uses small but very powerful Rare Earth magnets that are mounted on the outside of the window with a hi temperature 3M peel and stick tape. Our shades are designed to fit your coach glass tight, we incorporate a simple and effective fabric adjustment system in our design so your shades won’t stretch out of shape and sag over time, as a snap-type system can.
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.
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
Carolina On My Mind
There is nothing like a ride through the Carolina pines in the spring. We love the Smokie Mountains, Blue Ridge Parkway, and the shores of North Myrtle Beach. Our good friends in Atlanta have been wanting for us to join them in the North Georgia mountains near Ellijay. The pandemic slowed that to a halt as of last March. Now that we are all fully vaccinated we are looking forward to getting together in the coming weeks.
The itinerary will take us down to Ellijay, GA then south to Augusta. We will then head northeast to North Myrtle Beach, spend the week and then head back to the Smokie Mountains near Pisgah, NC. We can’t wait to get back on the road and off to some of our favorite places to visit. Here is a rundown of the parks we will be visiting. Some of them have been old standby’s, others will offer a new adventure.
Vegas Slow Go
It was an all hands on deck moment. We had to get to Vegas. Ginny’s mon was in the hospital there and was not doing well. After a week and a half of tests, prods, and pokes, they were going to release her. It was going to be imperative for us to be there to help with home care. We both had concerns about COVID and travel. We have been living in QPI, quiet, peaceful, isolation. I will do my best to give you a snapshot of precautions and COVID protocols at each RV Park.
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.
