A small Autauga County town with a rail line
Billingsley is in the north-central corner of Autauga County, in central Alabama. The settlement was first called Cartersville for the Carter family, who ran a grist mill, a lumber company and a cotton gin, and it was later named for Clement Billingsley, a Revolutionary War veteran. The town was incorporated in 1901.[2,3]
The Mobile and Ohio Railroad finished its Montgomery branch line through town in 1898, and a Norfolk Southern line still runs through the center. Encyclopedia of Alabama and Atlas Alabama both list Paul M. Grist State Park about 15 miles southwest and the Talladega National Forest about 10 miles northwest as places near the town.[2,3,4]

Billingsley camper owners ask
General information. Every situation is different, so call us about yours.
My camper has sat in a lot all winter. What should I check before the first trip?
Start with the basics. Batteries can run down over months of sitting, and rodents sometimes chew wiring or nest in warm corners. Look at tire sidewalls for flat spots and cracking, and check whether the refrigerator was left off with the door shut, since that can leave odors.
I just bought a used camper. Can someone walk me through it before my first trip?
Yes, that is what an inspection and orientation visit is for. We can go through the systems at your driveway or storage lot, such as the water pump, water heater, LP system, furnace, air conditioner and slide or awning controls, and show you how each one works. You can also bring your own list of questions about the unit you bought.
Should I worry when my RV air conditioner runs all afternoon on a humid July day?
Not always. A rooftop unit works hard in Alabama summer heat and humidity, and a long run is normal on a very hot day. It is worth a look if the cabin never cools, the airflow is weak, or the unit ices up or trips a breaker. Dirty filters, blocked coils and low campground voltage are common reasons to check.
If my A/C quits at a lake campground, can you meet me there?
We go to driveways, campsites and storage lots, so a campsite visit may be possible. Paul M. Grist State Park, which the Encyclopedia of Alabama lists about 15 miles from Billingsley, has an RV campground on a 100-acre lake. Ask any park about its rules for outside repair visits first, then call 205-955-3054 and tell us where you are parked.[3,5]
