RecommendationsWe love state parks.Camping at Grayson Highlands State Park in southwestern, VA and being near Mount Rodgers and the wild ponies there is breathtaking.Hanging Rock State Park has it all: hiking, vistas, history, and mountain bike trails.We love to canoe and camp at Merchant's Millpond State Park in eastern NC.Our favorite quick getaway is Raven Rock State Park, less than an hour from Raleigh. Falls Lake and Jordan Lake are great last minute camping options close to the Triangle.Check out Hipcamp.com as well. :)One of the best uses for the Cricket is camping off grid. We love Davidson River Campground in Pisgah National Forest.Other things to noteThe fridge can not get wet/sandy. Please keep it out of the rain and away from sand.
Always level the trailer with the hitch crank. The four stabilizers on the vehicle are intended to provide support for the leveled trailer.
Lock the trailer at the hitch if you're going to drive away from it.
Always lock the doors when the trailer is being towed.
No smoking.

Q.What flexibility is available for picking up and dropping off the RV?
A.
We're happy to work with you regarding pick-up and drop-off times. Keep us in the loop and we can usually be flexible with you!

Q.Are there any special tricks and tips that would help with operating the RV easily?
A.
You need a 2'' ball hitch positioned approximately 20'' (from the ground to the top of the ball) off the ground and a 7-pin (round) connection to plug the trailer into your tow vehicle.

Q.How to you level the camper?
A.
Leveling the camper is achieved by turning the crank on the tongue of the trailer until the trailer is level front to back. We have small level inside the camper for you to use. We like to position it on the kitchen counter to get a good sense of levelness. The stabilizers/landing gear are only used to reduce the amount of side to side sway after the camper has been leveled front to back.

Q.Can you deliver?
A.
Yes. We will deliver the travel trailer for a rate of $1.50/mile (round trips). Locally, we typically charge $150 - $200 for delivery, set up, walk-through and pick up, to Jordan Lake and Falls Lake campgrounds.
