Thanks! Great vacation!!
Met a lot of really nice people, didn't see any R-pods but did see a T@b trailer from Michigan, nice but very small.
My brother is a Dodge mechanic, says the Pen star 3.6 engine puts out a lot more horsepower and also the newer Grand Caravans have 2 extra gears in the transmission that also helps. We also travel with only 5-6 gallons in the pottable water tank, all other tank empty.

Wow those mpg numbers are great.  Glad you made it home safe and ahead of the storm.]]> Sun, 28 Oct 2012 19:15:34 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3002&PID=28999#28999 Latest on Hatteras : Made it out of Cape Hatteras... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3002&PID=28993#28993 Author: Leo B

Made it out of Cape Hatteras before the storm started. Drove back more inland, did really well towing with the new van, we started out at 15 mpg and at the best point, hit 17.1. most of the way back we average 15-8 to 16-5mpg.
 
Will definitely be heading back in the near future.

Glad to help. Just another tidbit, we saw a group of Dolphins going by the beach, while I was fishing today. We have also seen them swimming by at the big bridge that comes onto the Island and they were swimming along side the ferry as we headed over to Ocracoke Island.

Amazing!!

Fantastic!  This seals it I think for us, and we'll be looking to make our reservations for there as soon as we can. 
 
And thanks so much for the restaurant recommendations -- I've got them written down and saved in my camping file for that trip!

The KOA and the beach behind it are all very Pet friendly. We have met numerous dogs at the campsites and along the beach! The KOA has a pet walkway on one side of the KOA and a Camp Kanine doggy park on  the other side.
If you come next year I would definitely recommend the Top Dog Cafe next to the campground, the down under resteraunt about a mile or so south and the Dolphin Den resteraunt in Avon about 20 mins south are have some of the best food in the area.
 
Enjoy

Planning on going to the Outer Banks for a week next September, and this is now at the top of our list.  Quick question for you ... do you know if they allow dogs on the beach there at the KOA, or is the beach off-limts to pets?]]> Mon, 22 Oct 2012 11:24:07 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3002&PID=28768#28768 Latest on Hatteras : Still hanging in here at Cape... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3002&PID=28741#28741 Author: Leo B

Still hanging in here at Cape Hatteras KOA!! Have met some very nice people from all over the country and especially the south!
Up to 56 fish so far, a lot of them are Pompano and Blue fish!
Some great scenery..... had dolphins swimming next to our ferry boat on the way over to Ocracoke Island! There is a lot to see and a lot of great history down here!!

Hi All,
 
This KOA is great! I recommend it highly if you get down to this area. A couple of things to keep in mind when your planning- it is wide open beach, so the sun is a factor (need umbrella's, cabannas) and the wind. Being rig ht on the ocean it kicks up pretty good limiting how much you can use your dome. Today we have 17 mph winds with gust up to 26 mph.
The facilities are all new ( rebuild after Irene).
The surf fishing is amazing! 24 fish in 6 days so far!
