After all the improvements done to the Ramada, my family took a trip to Acadia National Park, Mount Desert Island, Maine.
http://www.nps.gov/acad/index.htm The trip from Boston area is 280 miles one way. The new 13" tires works fine along with the suspension lift. The double step was installed prior to the trip and work out great. Also the electric road cover lift works out so good, I didn't bring my long crank handle. Just brought a short crank just in case, and did not need to use it. Only one glitch was the ATV winch cable remote I was using as the lift motor remote, well, I got what I paid for. The down button was intermittent, probably inexpensive switch contacts, but was able to get it to work. Next time I should bring along the wireless remote as backup. There are many campgrounds on the island, both private and national park campgrounds. There is a free shuttle bus with campgrounds loop will take you into village green in Bar Harbor, also other shuttle to various part of the National park. This is our third trip with Ramada to Bar Harbor/Woodlands KOA. There is also a companion KOA 1.5 miles down the street, Bar Harbor/ Oceanside KOA but a lot less tree cover and right on the water. Oceanside KOA usually packed with big rigs so there may not be much of a view out of our windows anyway. Here are some picture and links.
Chevy Suburban with 4.5 inches drop draw bar, looks pretty level towing.
Our campsite, no other campers around during mid-week. You will notice the campground reviews complain about mosquitoes, but really folks?, this is Maine and lot of wood and water on the island. I did bring my screen room/add-a-room so bugs were not a big issue for us.

Ramada without the screen room, rope lights and double step works great.
Picture from the summit of Cadillac Mountain, looking toward the town of Bar Harbor in fog, and you will see a giant cruise ship in the harbor.
Another view of the harbor from the Precipice Trail in Acadia National Park.
