Dick, Are you still at River Plantation?
We left River Plantation, the site of the CC rally, this morning, and are now in Max Meadows, VA (exit 80, I-81) for two nights. We wanted to stay longer but couldn't 'cause they're having a large Liberty Coach rally. Some interesting toads. One guy pulled a Plymouth Prowler and a motorcycle w/sidecar out of his enclosed trailer. A Mercedes Gelandewagen was flat-towed, as was a Hummer H2. One guy travels around the campground on a Segway.

Dick,

Thanks for the reply. We make it to Christiansburg, VA our home town. We stoped at the Interstate Overnight Campground, 181C exit.
$20 for the night 50 amp service for $3. more. Not bad for the afternoon and night.

Have you ever done a front end alignment on your coach? We did today to get a base line reference. Our coach was wondering slightly. Turns out the right front tire was out of specs and the toe was a -1/8 when it should have been a + 1/32.

We had our Intrigue's front end aligned when we bought the new tires in December (?). But, as I discovered at the CC Rally, it was aligned to the "wrong" specs (the shop and I should've checked with CC first). With the "wrong" specs, the coach doesn't handle quite as well as before, but no problem. I will, however, have it re-done to the correct spec when we return home in June. It can only help tire life and fuel mileage, in addition to handling.
