ScentFreeInSC Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Hi Dave and Becky! We're Kathryn and Chad, and we're in Traveler's Rest, not too far from you! We were complete novices when we got our trailer in fall of 2019, just before Chad retired, but if you read here and watch a lot of You Tube videos, you'll be fine. We just started traveling again and we're surprised how much we still remember after 16 months off, with nothing but bringing it back and forth from storage to do maintenance work. The learning curve is steep, but most of it sticks with you once you've done it all a few times. We're not here on the forum a ton, but feel free to send us a direct message if you have questions. Happy travels! LEII Hull #517 | Lincoln Navigator Reserve with Heavy Duty Trailer Tow Package Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nancy K. Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Welcome! We are from NC, near Raleigh. Our second journey in our Ollie was to hike at 3 SC state parks, using Table Rock SP as our base camp. Made the mistake of entering from the wrong entrance (the East Gate - we missed the sign about no campers) Very curvy! We survived, but make sure you enter by the West Gate entrance for campers. After unhitching, we were able to take the truck to Caesar's Head SP the next day which has a parking area that would not work with the trailer attached. 1 "Creativity is the fun of putting together unexpected ideas."

fredinlittlerock Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Hi Dave and Becky, What a beautiful area you live in. I grew up in Seneca and have siblings there and in Greenville. Enjoy your travels! I hope to be an Elite II owner within a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
