Anyone been there? Our first trip. Do they have hookups? We plan on leaving our RV for a couple of weeks. It has not been winterized. Are they attentive to cold weather issues should it come ?

They have elec. I would think you need to be winterized as I doubt they'll look after it as you would. That would be over and above if they did.

I'm confused. Your profile lists your MH as a 2011 Allegro. Did you switch to a Fleetwood Product?

Yeah. Need to change profile. Had Tiffin six months and had some major structural problems. Wasn't going to hold up in the long haul. Traded for 2011 American tradition. Now got a water leak and wall slide problem. Am hopeful these will be easily fixed. Hey does Camp Decatur have water?

Just got back from there 3 weeks ago they have 63 sites with electric only but pass the 2nd building is a water and dump station which is by the office door for the service dept. If your staying there don't get sites next to highway the noise will keep you up all night, stay up by buildings like 1-30 sites.

You have to take care of any cold weather prep yourself. They don't do anything like that for coaches on the RV lot. While they actually work on it, it is inside, but even then it may get put back outside at night. They would typically plug it in, though.

Since you plan to leave it unattended, I would call and discuss the potential problems ahead of time so you are prepared.

When we picked ours up they had it plugged in for us, but they forgot to check the breaker it was off. Take time to do the Fleetwood plane tour if you have not done it already.
