Drove 600 mles from Sterling, VA to Lakeport, MI State Park (Family and friend gathering). New experiences:

1. 2720 (2006) pulled like a champ. TV is a Honda Ridgeline, averaged 13 miles a gallon.
2. Lakeport State Park is fabulous. Sites are HUGE with lots of trees. Park is located on Lake Huron ten miles north of Port Huron.
3. Camped for a week - everything works!
4. Learned a lot about using the camper without water or sewer hookups (we had electric).
a. Had to add water after the 4th day and am looking for a good way to do so. I filled a 5 gallon plastic container and poured into a funnel that did not work well. Are there better ways?
b. Also found I needed a Blue Boy to empty grey and black. Borrowed another campers Blue Boy after the 5th day. Seriously considering a purchase because we love the State parks. They are not cheap.

and finally.....

4. Two other TM's IN the park! They were a 1998 3023 and a 2004 2720, both owners very nice and both from MI. 4th camping trip but first time I've seen a TM in a park.

That's it. Looking for feedback on the water and sewer issues at State parks.
