Help a first timer out :)

Help a first timer out :)
I just bought an 87 PT38 and currently working on getting all the bugs
out. I was wondering if there is any resource about campgrounds with
their location and other information. Is there a site that has them
listed?

I'm in Alabama and interested in going to upstate New York to visit my
fiance's grandmother. Is it possible to drive there this time of
year? Here in Alabama snow isnt much of a concern and I didnt know if
there were any problems with operation it in snow and sub temps. Any
advice or hints appreciated.

Thanks

Cold temps. If it hasn't been operated regularly, you might not have
winter fuel in the tank, it might be a good idea to add some winter
fuel additive available at truck-stops.

I'd imagine you've already had the fluids checked and serviced, be
sure that a good truck shop checks your engine coolant for proper
additive levels, for freezing point and for SCA levels. Also carry at
least one set of spare fuel filters.

The fuel filter should be heated when the DD engine is running, that
should handle the wax-point of the fuel while driving.

The big DD engine is a bit cold-blooded. It is a good idea to run the
genset when you wake up in the morning if you aren't plugged in, and
run the engine block heater (lighted switch behind the mirrored
headboard door) for a couple of hours if it is cold out, ... the
batteries will also be charging while the genset is running to give
you the best shot at starting. If you're plugged into good power,
many of us leave the engine heater on in the winter.

If you aren't sure about the engine battery condition, at least have
good genset batteries, if you can start the genset you can charge the
batteries.

Good luck and welcome.

I just bought an 87 PT38 and currently working on getting all the bugs
out. I was wondering if there is any resource about campgrounds with
their location and other information. Is there a site that has them
listed?

I'm in Alabama and interested in going to upstate New York to visit my
fiance's grandmother. Is it possible to drive there this time of
year? Here in Alabama snow isnt much of a concern and I didnt know if
there were any problems with operation it in snow and sub temps. Any
advice or hints appreciated.

Thanks

Hey BBQ Man

If going to NY, be sure to check out Dinosaur BBQ in Syracuse.
For campgrounds, try the followig site: rvparkreviews dot com

They usually have the links for each campground along with
reviews done by users in the past.
