If you are in New England and looking for a great campground, try the Littleton/Lisbon KOA. It is very easy to find, is extremely clean with very nice sites. There is a river running along the side, a nice heated pool and a hot tub.
The grounds are beautiful and well maintained.
The staff was outstanding! They are very accomodating and friendly.
Great Place to stay

Hi all,
 
We wednt back for a fall weekend at the Littleton/Lisbon KOA, and had another great time! Met a couple from Washington who were on a roadtrip accross the country. Best part was we towed with our new 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan with the 283 horse pen star engine and averaged 16 miles per gallon according the the trip computer, the gas usage was consistant with the reading. We also had the spoiler installed a short time ago. Looking forward to our true test Sept 29th when we head to Cape Hatteras for a month. The trip from Lyndonville to Littleton was all interstate with some sizable hills, but it is still only 35 miles each way. Will report back after our next trip.

Not to get off-topic, but your 16 mpg figure makes me interested in more details on your spoiler.  Is this mounted on your van?

No, the only change made was the recall spoiler that FR put on for the lights. It is also towing with empty tanks. We averaged 12-14 in our 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan, this was the first time towing with our 2013 Grand Caravan. The new van has the 283 horse engine, made a huge difference. Tons of power on the hills and better mileage. There was not much wind on the day we went, we also averaged 55-65 for speeds.

I think your TV mde the difference.  The "spoiler" is so low and placed on the pod in such a place that it is out of the main airflow and will have little effect IMO.

Not to mention that the spoiler is in the lea of the air conditioner. I think the A C would create so much turbulence that the spoiler would not even get any of the air flowing over the Pod.

Good point.  I think of it as a light bar, not as an airflow device.
