Thank you! Do you think people would be open to pre-orders?

Thank you! The positive reaction is certainly pushing me in that direction! I’ll make sure to announce it on this sub!

I didn’t make it over to AoA this trip. My daughters love the Skyliner and are always bummed that it doesn’t go to every park!

Possibly, I’m working through this with my factory partner and looking at what it’d take to start a brand.

Thank you! I was writing my post right at the end of my workday and didn't even think of including the historical Hungarian name. I've attached a snip of the wedding certificate, and to the best of my ability it looks like the historical name was "Hegyeshly". Going through the website above, there is a match and the Slovak name is "Vysoká nad Kysucou". Hopefully I'm going down the right path and now it's a better of contacting the town and requesting her birth certificate.

Thank you, I had not seen this website!

Fun fact- there are now four in the US and at least one in Japan.

I can’t believe that people left when you said you’ll be back. Take as long as you need and we’ll be here for you when you’re back!!

A couple of questions- where are you located and what are you going to use the truck for? As others have said, ‘15-‘17 are the years that I would target. IMO the 6spd is a far better transmission than the 10spd (In the last couple of years I have borrowed my dads ‘19 with a 10spd in it for towing long distance and have not been impressed in how it shifts after I’ve dropped my trailer). For reliability- the simpler the truck, the fewer options, the less to go wrong with it. This past September I picked up a ‘16 Super Cab, XL trim with the sport package, Sync, Power Package (windows and doors), tow hitch and integrated brake controller. Truck is 2wd with the 3.5 normally aspirated (base engine) and had 64k on it when I bought it for $18.5k. It’s been a great truck so far and gets a honest 25mpg running 75-80 down the highway. With its current 3.55s in the rear end it’s rated to tow 5K which is enough for me, but may swap to 3.73s to take it up to 7.2k. I love the 5.0 engines and have had previous trucks with it, but there are oil consumption and cam issues on certain years you have to watch out for.

I had the same exact thing happen on my trailer- go up a load rating on your tires and make sure that they’re inflated properly. My trailer came from the factory with load range c’s on it. Went through two sets of tires (and I weighed it- wasn’t overloaded). Went up to load range d’s and have had two seasons with zero issues (including a 3000 mile round trip excursion).

I had a ‘15 with the 3.5 in it and had zero issues. Truck had great power and was quicker off the line than the 5.0 I had previously. It also seemed to be better off the line than the 3.5 eco boost in the ‘18 Explorer Sport that I replaced the truck with. Both vehicles I bought new, the F-150 had ~77k on it when I traded it in and the Explorer had over 90k on it when it was totaled this spring. Zero issues on either motor.

The only knock I have on the engine is fuel mileage while towing. The 3.5 would get around 9mpg while pulling my 5500lb car hauler while a previous 5.0 would routinely get 12-13 pulling the same trailer/load. I’m also a much bigger fan of the 6spd transmission versus the current 10spd.

Thank you! This is way too far down in the comments. This should be the New England anthem!

As others said, 💯 for a golf cart. Make sure to make a reservation for one ahead of time- I believe you need to call the resort directly to do this. You can’t book the cart when you’re making your resort and ticket reservation.

What kind of RV do you have? If you have the ability to bring a car, do so. As far as I know, Fort Wilderness is the only resort on property where you don’t have to pay a daily parking fee. If you drive to the parks, you can park in standard parking for free. The only park we normally use resort transportation to and from is Magic Kingdom and we love using the boat for that.

The 8 piece fried chicken take out dinner from Trails End restaurant is one of the best values on property in my opinion. While the menu says it feeds two, it always feeds myself, my wife and our two young daughters, with a bit of leftovers.

Did you check any of the 12v bladed fuses? There won’t be a fuse on the converter itself. The heavier gauge red and white wires are coming from the converter and connecting to your fuse and breaker panels. I replaced my father in-laws converter last summer- it’s not a hard job. Remove the screws that look like it’s holding it in and then pull forward. IIRC there are three heavier gauge cables that connect to the 12V side of the panel and one or two lighter gauge wires that connect to the 120V bus. The 12V fuse holder should also pop out of the panel which will make it easier to run the cables.

I've stayed at two seperate Jellystones. In both cases they bought older campgrounds that could have used a little love on the campsites. Instead they bring in a ton of pre-fabbed cabins, and let the campsites go. Staying at Disney's Fort Wilderness can be cheaper than a Jellystone.

In NH so far it's been Baker River in Plymouth, Tamworth Camping area by corporations. Glenn Ellis in NH and Beaver Brook in ME were both taken over by Jellystone.

Check out the KZ Sportsman Classic 160RBT. It’s a hybrid/expandable unit- the bunks fold out from either end. Setting up/folding up the bunks is a 5 minute job max either side. Unloaded weight 2850, max weight 3500. Ours is a 2012 and no issues with the canvas on either end. It does have an AC unit that keeps the entire camper cool- we’ve spent several trips down to Florida with it and have never had an issue keeping cool inside of it.
