10 nights/ 11 days in a TM w/ 7 people
We did it!!!! We took our 4 ( 5,13,15,18) kids plus a friend(18 year old) with us for 11 days in our TM. We all slept in there and survived the trip. We only moved the TM 3 times but we had plenty of hands to do it.
We started our trip in Pardeeville, WI at the Indian Trails campground, it was Christmas in July and we won 3rd place in the decorating contest. We stayed in Pardeeville for 3 nights. This is a great family campground. It has a indoor pool, swimming beach, private fishing lake, shuffleboard, horseshoes,minigolf, activities and all sites are water/electric sites.
Then we moved 30 minutes north to Montello WI and Kilby Lake campground. This campground is NOT TM friendly. The interior roads where horrible. There was sand laying all over and tree roots just waiting to grab the sewer lines. My husband had to put the truck in 4 wheel drive to get to and from our site. There were weeds growing all round the site edge( including poison ivy). We only stayed there 2 nights. All the kids wanted to go back to Indian Trails again.
So we went back to Indian Trails and spent the rest of our vacation there. We went to the Wisconsin Dells for a couple day trips, as this is only 30 minutes away from the campground. We had a great family vacation.
If anyone is wondering how we could possibly sleep all those people in our TM here is our set up. 1st we own a 3326 that is missing the reclining chairs(we bought it used and they were gone). 2 KIDS sleep on a double air mattress on the living room floor. 2 KIDS sleep on the fold out couch and one sleeps on our dinette bed. And of course we have our King size bed to ourselves!!!! Our oldest son was away at college when we bought our TM last fall and he was amazed at how it folds down and gets so small(26ft). He just stood there in amazement the 1st time we folded it down. We did have to use 2 extreme coolers for drinks and extra meat. We did limit potty use to night time use only so it would last with out dumping till we left. Showers were also taken at the shower houses.
I'm sorry we don't have any digital pictures to show you our great vacation.
