Today was a short travel day. I went a whole 25 miles inland to my camp for the next week at the Middleboro KOA. The wind was not as bad today as the last couple of days and the sun was shining so the trip was uneventful.

I took my time this morning picking up and packing stuff away. I left my site at about 11am for the dump station to empty the holding tanks. I didn’t have a sewer connection for the last 3 weeks so I had a lot to dump. Even though I have a sewer connection at my new site it is better to travel with empty tanks.

Site 122 at the Middleborough KOA.

My new site at the KOA is tight between two other units already in place. The site placement was designed before RVs had slide out rooms. They were tight in those days but today they’re very tight. I’m getting better at backing up the motorhome using the mirrors and the backup camera. I will always get out and look around several times while backing in. I don’t want any low branches or hidden object to surprise me.

This campground has updated many of the sites since the last time I was here. The additional sewer sites are occupied by long term or seasonal RVs. The campground used to be primarily travelers and weekenders. KOA campgrounds are not cheap. They need to pay the franchise fees on all of their sales. The value of KOA campgrounds to me is the consistent level of service. You can expect and get a certain level of service.
