WOW Charlie!  I'm diggin' your toy hauler.  Really like the idea of having one slot for the bike trading off garage space for living space.  Very Nice!  Looks like you guys are doing what we wish we were doing and really enjoying it.  Thanks for sharing your pictures.

We really like the extra space that this floor plan gives us Henry.  We get a full 36 feet of living space, which is really nice.  Beings the better half doesn't want to ride her own bike, we only need space for the one, so this was perfect.  We have a blast with it.  Unfortunately, work keeps interfering with our desire to take the "beast" out more often.

I know that drill all too well!  Enjoy the time off, Charlie.

Looks like you are having a good time. That area is one of mine and "V"'s favorite places to visit. Sooooo I guess we will see you all in the fall!

THE DAWG

This is our first time we've been here.  We were going to go to the National HOG rally and stay at this campsite last August, but that's when I went hard-down in the hospital with a staph infection.  This place is absolutely beautiful.  We're planning on running up to Gatlinburg and checking that out...really liked what we saw when we drove through there yesterday.  This is definitely not going to be our last time coming here....may have to make this an annual pilgrimage.

RD, thanks for the pics.  I love the toy hauler.  It looks a little tight getting out of there once the bike is parked.  I'm sure it's a trade off you'd make every time to have more living(loving) space! 

Hopefully, there will be some more pics...we're going to go out on the bike again Saturday...(I promised the better half a day at Dollywood, that's Friday, and today and tomorrow it's supposed to rain, so it will be the truck that we'll be taking around. )  The room in the garage is probably a little smaller in width than a standard single-bike trailer, but it is 12 ft deep.  I don't have any problems getting on and off the bike, and if I was around 200 instead of 280, I could probably get around the bike.  I had the Bike Pro chock mounted a little off center, so that there would be a little more room on the left side of the bike.  The bike pro keeps the bike steady and I use five tie downs.  (one through the front wheel to insure it stays in the bike pro (which I'm sure it would anyway), two on the handlebars, just for side to side stability, and two on the rear crash bars for side to side stability.)  I let the bike's suspension do what it's supposed to do.  The extra living space we got in the trailer is worth the little bit more cramped garage.  But it works great.

Unfortunately, because of the type of job I have, I have to take my vacations in May and June now (I'm on call during storm season, primarily July through October).  So I can't plan any long trips during that time frame.  We're going to take our other "big" trip next month in the Outter Banks.  Someday, work won't dictate when we can take trips.  Can't wait for that day.

Thanks for the pics.....the toy hauler is great 

It makes life a little more bearable on the road.  Don't have to worry about who did what in the hotel bed the night before we got there.

We're having a blast here.   Wish we could do it more often, maybe someday.  I love this area, will definitely be a frequent vacation spot for us.

Unfortunately, and this really pi$$es me off, we won't be able to make Maggie Valley in September.  That's in the height of Hurricane season for me (I'm at FEMA. I know, I know, no jokes please.  ), and my wife's a contracting officer for the Federal Government, and that's her busiest time of the year.  (She can't even think about taking vaction days  ) It would be great if the GTG could be held in the spring, but I know that would interfere with Daytona, Myrtle Beach, and such.  So unfortunately, we have to bow out.

That is my problem too...
Gotta get a different gig, like no job...

The first Maggie Valley CVO rally we went to was in the spring. I agree with having it in the Spring but with Daytona in March and Myrtle Beach and the Hogbreath Ribfest in May that only leaves April. And the rally we went to in April was also known as Soggy Valley.

With this years rally in September would anyone want to have one in June of 09 in Maggie Valley? I don't think the weather would be to hot.

June would be perfect for us.

You might be limited to when you can take your vacation, but it sure looks like you're enjoying every minute of it Charlie! Love your travelling hotel! Enjoy the rest of your trip and riding in that beautiful area of this great country!

Hoist!
