First outing

We did our first trip out with the TT ,Got into setup in the site and ran the electrical cord and found it to way too short, friends of ours were already here and had a 25' when added to our cord was again 4' to short , So we bought a 50' and have no problems.
Moral of Lesson : dammed if I know

Quite the campground set up. I have camped in at least 20 different campgrounds the past couple of years and have never exceeded my 25 feet.

Nope have had this site many times except we had a 12' PU and parked close to the box, could not do it with the 28' (new at a large TT) but was a memory maker and adventure as you said.
PS talked to some others at the camp ground and found out that there are some CG plugins that are like 40' away.

A campground in MB? I have been to a few that I've pulled in and scratched my head wondering what they were thinking.

If you went from a 12' to a 28' I can hardly wait for a few years to pass to see the next upgrade!
