After having this thing sitting next to the house for the last few months (busy with kids stuff and work, etc), we're finally getting into the RV and getting the interior fixed up and outfitted for the family! Figured I'd share progress here.

The bunk over the cab was originally an entertainment center, but we need it for sleeping with 3 kids, so that had to go. Next up is getting a platform set up so we can put a mattress up there.





The rig didn't have a head unit so we go a nice and big one since the original opening had space for I think a 7" screen. This one is 10" and works flawlessly thus far!

Anyone else curious as to why this thread is stickied to the top?

We going to take our kids to Disney/Universal this summer and going to stay in our pop up to save some money on hotels. We are going to stop off for few days in Destin on way back but debating on doing 30a on way there or just one night in a hotel. Any recommendations for a hotel between Biloxi and Mobile that will allow you park a trailer and is relatively safe?

Ft. Wilderness?

Yeah we're doing ft wilderness. We will probably spend more time in universal but they don't have a setup like ft wilderness unfortunately.

not sure you're really going to save money on hotels at ft. Wilderness.

When we looked at it, rv spots were like $220/night.

There are a million AirBnbs for that price in the area. We stayed in a 4br house with a pool right outside the gates of Disney for like $275/night

Either way, not what you're asking but that was why we've nixed ever taking the rig, plus it's 4 LONG days of driving there and back.

I'm only paying $90 a night for my site and ft wilderness plus I get all the benefits of Disney resort.

Orlando is only one of the stops and I will save thousands over a hotel during the 2 weeks we will be in Florida.

We've been to Colorado several times and we stay at hotel in Amarillo to avoid having to setup camp for a night.

I'm looking to do the same at hotel on way to Orlando but not be too worried everything gets stolen while we sleep.

$90? Dang. Maybe we were looking at a super expensive time.

I got the cheapest site that fits pop up campers. The price jumps for the upgraded sites for 5th wheels the size of double wide trailers.

I mentioned to the mods that we needed a dedicated RV thread, and they agreed and made it sticky,. If it doesn't get any use, they will probably let it drop.

Doesn't matter much to me, I'm just glad we got the RV folks onto one thread
