    Depending on your vehicle, could be no issue. If you have a Nissan frontier, it's going to be tough. If you have a 1 ton dually, no problem.

    I agree with this. Depends on what you are pulling it with.

    ^^^ This, granted I still wouldn't got more than across town without sway bars, even on a 1 ton truck, the higher the speed, the more trailer sway.

    I agree with bassfisherman1_2011. When I pull the trailer I want all the control of trailer movement to a very minimum. It isn't worth something happening due to a trailer sway control problem when the part cost less than $50.

    If the temperatures are going to drop to the low 80s Friday and run through the weekend I am heading to either Steele Creek or Hibernia campground. I have to check out a couple things in my camper. Any of the state campground parks give a senior's discount of $6.00. Most state parks need to make reservations for sites. Have to go on line to make those. Type North Carolina State Campground Reservations in your browser.

    We'll be heading to JC Cooper on the 17th. In the mean time I've got a few things that need to be done.
    Number one project is installing the wife TV. Our's did not come with one. Finding the right swivel mount getting to be a pain.
    When we finish that trip we'll be leaving our boat at Wert so in the future I'll be able to bring the boat.
    Are you saying to get the discount you have to do it online??

    Jim I have only used the internet to reserve the site I want and then I apply that I am over 65. I have not paid at the gate for a site so I don't know if the senior discount is applied but I am sure it is also. Tomorrow is the 5th of August and I might head up then. I will stay at Steele Creek since I have not reserved a site anywhere and believe that campground will have plenty of sites available.
