Mine and Nicholas' day, camper was in for some minor warranty work, they called yesterday to come and get it.

Ran into this this on the way. .. had to go to Ashland, VA from Dameron, MD to pick up camper. Detour after detour. Rte 5 and Great Mills Rd (10 minutes into the trip) closed, backroads around to Rte 4, Rte4 Tree Down over road, tree wasn't blocking road, the cops were though.. work around that backroads that finally came out at McKay's, and 5 is closed in Leonardtown.. no signs, no warning.. takes us back out to 235 to Charlotte Hall, left turn before rte 6 is totally flooded 235 South is CLOSED.. go onto Rte 6, smooth sailing, waze took us down Penn Hill Rd to 234, to 301 then an accident at our exit on 95S in Ashland.. missed the washed out road on Rt 6

Went across the 301 bridge (both dorections) and noticed River was running NORTH? NOTHING is going to recede as long as the Potomac is running the wrong direction.

Kept telling Nicholas ONE more detour or blocked rd we're going home.. Next one... we're going home.. ok, ONE more.. then it became a challenge.

Get there and the largest RV dealer in the East is near EMPTY. Where there are usually HUNDREDS of RV's (guess 500?) There were maybe 50..

That McGeorges? or something like that.

Last time I went through it seemed like another RV dealer set up camp next to McGeorges which made it seem like RV's were lined up for 1/2 mile. Tons of them

This is General RV, they built a HUGE dealership right next to McGeorge's (Camping World now).. they basically share a parking lot. General is now the largest RV dealer in VA and on the I-95 corridor.

On the way to General, you come to an intersection where you can't really see General yet(its to the left around the corner) but all the road signs pointed you in this direction for General. McG put up a sign, big RED letters, grey sign that says RV Dealer! No names, just RV DEALER ======> pointing to the Camping World (McG) parking lot. If you've never been there before you would assume that is a sign leading to General.

Yup. My family goes camping in the fall, so my brother was looking for an RV to rent. He said there wasn't one to be found to buy or rent anywhere.
