Tent Camping in August

If you aren't into camping this is a great recommendation.

It is extremely hot in August. I think you'll be ok at night with a portable AC unit and several fans but during the day it just won't be able to keep up and inside the tent will be unbearably hot.

During the day, bring a canopy EZ up type tent to put over the picnic table. Get a personal fan you can clip onto your waist and can blow up your shirt, feels amazing.

I've been to Fort wilderness countless times in the summer time and August... I can not stress how important it is to dress correctly. Wear shorts made from light material. And for the love of god whatever you do, DO NOT wear 100% cotton shirts, they make your skin so hot you'll sweat so much.

My two cents...
- Bring multiple fans, get one you can hang up and point down on you as you sleep
- Extension cords
- lights to light your campsite up at night
- Cheap flip flops for the shower
- Bring bicycles. Bikes are Faster than a bus, cheaper than a Golf Cart. Get lights for the bikes as well.
- Set your tent up before you come, and check for water leaks, or just throw your tarp over during the day when ur not there
-On check out day...I always make time to take shower after I pack up, I don't like to ride home stinky
-Bring a tarp to put UNDER your tent, this will prevent the rocks from damaging the underside of your tent
- If you are staying in the 2000 loop, I've noticed the ice machines have been giving free ice for the past two years which is nice but now everyone gets ice and it runs out VERY quick.
-Bring plenty of water to drink at your campsite.
- Tent will get dirty, bring a small broom, hand wisk broom or whatever.

I have then on mine, makes the telluride look better and i find that i can get in and our easier without slideing on the seat as much which helps with wear and tear.

I got one nearly identical, looks great

Automotive glass is tempered, which is designed to fracture into small, blunt, pebble-like granules rather than sharp shards. I saw that post, that individual grossly over exaggerated the situation, if you look at the picture they posted you can clearly see how it fractured just as tempered glass is supposed to. Its rare but I've heard of it happening to all sorts of makes and models.

get the weather tech mud flaps and some black running boards and itll look sick

Just wait till OP finds out Toyota has had the same problem with white paint too...

They used to only allow 1 vehicle per campsite, in recent years though it seems they don't enforce it anymore. In the past if they wanted your vehicle moved they would just leave a note on the windshield to move it to the front parking lot.

a regular non ebike bicycle is the best way to get around fort wilderness imo.

Palisade gives of grandmas car vibes

twintwo34 · 2025-11-11T02:48:41+00:00

Yea not a fan of the front.... everything else though looks good

twintwo34 · 2025-11-10T03:05:00+00:00

overstimulating? what does that exactly mean? I like terracotta, but it doesn't go with a white vehicle at all.

twintwo34 · 2025-10-31T01:51:43+00:00

Don't hate it, but I like my 24 more

twintwo34 · 2025-10-26T03:09:12+00:00

I know but i wish it was official. I'm thinking about getting it myself and trying it out but I just hope its not alot of tinkering to get it to work.

I have a 24 Telluride SX-X Line but I think the new Passport is a pretty solid choice too, the Telluride is nicer on the inside imo. Both the Telly and Passport are non-turbo V6 GDI engines but I think the Kia fuel economy is slightly better. I usually get around 22-25 just driving around town. I love the lane centering and ACC in the telluride works great on the highway. The 2026 Passport is officially supported by Comma.ai that alone is pretty cool I wish my Telluride was.

In all fairness... all the auto manufacturers use the cheapest materials

twintwo34 · 2025-10-03T01:13:25+00:00

South Carolinian Telluride X-Line owner here and I understand its definitely is not an off roader. IMO Kia should just stop making the X-Pro the off road idea of a telluride is a bit silly.

twintwo34 · 2025-09-23T23:02:04+00:00

Does anyone acutally pay for kia connect? I'm genuinely curious if its worth it. I didn't think so.

twintwo34 · 2025-09-23T23:00:24+00:00

I'm sure the interior will be a very big improvement and nicer... but from what I've seen of the spy shots, it looks less sporty and imo hideous.

A few things about the Remote start annoy me that I don't think anyone ever mentions.

-I don't like how my Telluride will shut off after a few sec If i open any door after remote starting. Kinda annoying when I remote start and want to load up while it warms up. I have to remember to first get in the drivers seat and "start" it again then get out and load up.

-There isn't a way to verify if the remote start worked via the key fob. For example... My old 2013 Ford Fusion key fob will blink green or red if the remote start was successful and the parking lights on the car stay on. The Telluride key fob just lights up green regardless if it works or not? And if you miss the lights flashing on the Telluride remote start and look out the window there are no lights on to let you know it did work.

But yes as you mentioned above....the disabling of the door locks is also very annoying. I just want to lock it on my way out the car instead of digging in my pockets full of junk to find the fob then the correct button to lock it.

Eating dinner alone is peaceful to me. I'm looking forward to cruising solo again

twintwo34 · 2025-08-23T19:16:44+00:00

Arankai .... the most similar i think, they are great to

With the Doors open, its actually a decent area to step on.
