We're going to be coming through Atlanta in early September and would
like to find a nice park for a couple of nites. Any recommendations will be welcome. Thanks Tom Gibbs 91 WLWB Currently in the FL Keys |

Hi Tom,
Sorry for the late reply. Stone Mountain RV Park is probably the nicest near Atlanta. I've stayed in 3 or 4 in the area it was the best I've found so far.

We are picking up our new SOB in Mcrae Georgia next week. Will be
going North through Atlanta. Trying to find a decent CG in the Atlanta area. Bob Janes' another forum member and a good friend, would like to meet us there and spend the day together. Last year we stayed at the South Atlanta RV Resort. A real dive!! I looked up Stone Mountain but they require a 2 night stay. Any suggestions from some of the "good old boys" ? Thanks Bruce 1988 FC35 |

Well, we're about 40 miles south of Atlanta on I-85 (exit 28) if that's close enough

First is the Atlanta-Marietta RV Resort (http://www.amrvresort.com/). Its up 75 (if that makes it convenient for you). Neighborhood is so-so. But, its fairly convenient to 75 and Atlanta and I've been told its well-kept. Next, there is Twin Lakes RV Park in Cumming GA (http://www.twinlakes-rvpark.com/). This one is up 400 north of Atlanta. There is also Jones RV Park along I-85 in Norcross. I'd avoid this one at all costs. Its a dump. I say that just in case you see it on any listings, you'll know to avoid it. After that, most of your options are going to be COE campgrounds at the lakes or state parks (which will require a 2 night stay on the weekends). I don't know the minimum stay requirements for COE campgrounds. On the northwest side (along 75) side of town you have Lake Allatoona with McKinney campground (everyone I know likes this one a lot) as well as Red Top Mountain. Northeast corridor (along I-85) has several campgrounds on Lake Lanier as well as Fort Yargo State Park. If you want to stay on the south side there is Indian Springs State Park and High Falls State Park. Both of these are along 75. Keep in mind that the state parks and COE campgrounds are usually water/electric only but all have dump stations. I suspect that won't be a problem if you are only staying 1 night.

Bruce,
I hate to see that you gave up on the search for a second BB. Couldn't find the right one? Or the right price? So what SOB did you get?

Mike:
I dont think I have ever been so disappointed . My road trip to find " The Right Bird" did not go well. 2 of the units I went to see were real rough. I saw 4 units at Bleakely's and one 2003 was gorgeous. But it had 2 slides and a horrible drop down Plasma TV. Of course the price was ridiculous. I think the asking was over $450. I liked it so much I was offered $350 even though it was too much. I guess it is still there. I also saw a similar unit at the factory. I understand from talking to anothr forum member it can be had for $250. It needed a little loving and it has been there so long they have been robbing parts to fix other units. While looking at these units I came to realize that something about these BB's was different. I know that Brad and David are not going to like what I am about to say. They seemed to lack that "BB" feel that I got while looking at the units @ Q. These were all built when BB started to become concerned about weight. None had tile floors. 2 of them had this cheap compressed paper with a veneer and one had some sort of composite tile. Reminded me of those self sticking ones. @ of the units I looked at had a decorative ceiling panel in the bathroom similar to what they use in the living room. In both cases they partially covered the fantastic fan. That is the kind of design error you expect in one of the plastic MH's not a BB. Every unit I saw needed upgrades to the audio video systems. By 2001 a CD , DVD and a satellite system should have been standard eqpt. Only one had this equipment. Somehow a cassette player does not cut it! There is an upright steel member in the engine compartment. I dont remember which side. All of them had rusting problems. Hard to explain but this piece is a steel tube with a cap on top. The cap has a raised lip that holds water and maybe snow in the winter. The drawer construction on these units was no different than any entry level motorhome. I dont know what type of plwood they use but it is very light. The joints were some type of half lap. Even our Monaco has dovetial joints. The drawer catches on our FC are the bulletproof aircraft type. These BB's all use the same plastic latches you see on every MH. I would have looked at at some earlier 90's units but really wanted a DD60 engine. Of course I am an impatient person and perhaps if I was willing to wait another 6 months the right BB might have appeared. A renowkned BB expert told me he thinks the 97's are the best. I also did not want to do any "fixing". One BB that requires more than maintenace is all I can handle. To make he rest of this long story short. We bought an 08 Monaco Dyansty. Certainly not a BB buit it is very nice. We still have our 88 FC and will continue to use it for Mexico travel and maybe to Q in 09. Bruce 1988 FC35 |

Ernie and Don:
Thanks for thos suggestions. We decided to return to the Atlanta South Rv Resort. It is right off I75 and maybe 30 miles or less to Atlanta. I will just bring a big Doberman and a Shotgun in case any of the "residents" get out of hand!!! Bruce 1988 FC35 |
