Wetumpka, on the Coosa River
At about 50 road miles from our Thorsby base, Wetumpka is a drive we plan ahead. A phone call about your camper and where it sits comes first, then we can talk about when a visit fits.
General information. Every situation is different, so call us about yours.
Tires are a common concern, since underinflated or aging tires heat up on a long run and a blowout can tear up fenders and wiring. LP regulator problems and breaker or converter trouble can also show up after a camper has sat. Check tire pressure and age, and test the LP and 12-volt systems at home. If you ever smell LP gas, get everyone outside first, and shut off the gas only if it is safe to do so.
Sediment and mineral scale can collect in a tank over time and make a heater slow, noisy or less efficient. Flushing the tank on a regular schedule helps, and the anode rod on some models deserves a look as well. Hard water is common in many places, so it is worth asking where your fill-ups come from. If the heater still lags or leaks, we can test it at your campsite or driveway.
Start by drying the area and watching where the drip returns. Common spots are the drain trap, the faucet supply lines, the fittings at the water pump and a cracked drain connection. Vibration on the road can loosen fittings over time. Turn off the pump until you find the source. If the wet spot stays or the cabinet floor feels soft, we can trace the leak and repair it.
Safety comes first. Move to a sturdy building rather than staying in the camper, and bring in the awning before the wind picks up if there is time. Afterward, inspect the awning arms and fabric, the slide-out seals, the roof vents and trim, and the jacks and blocks. Take photos for your records, and call us at 205-955-3054 if something looks bent or torn.
We come to campsites, but the park sets its own rules, and its campground status and booking details can change. The visitor page mentions a 39-unit RV campground, and the city lists 39 RV sites with electric and water hookups. Contact the park first to ask about service visits, then call 205-955-3054 to talk through what your camper needs.[5,6]
Wetumpka is the seat of Elmore County and sits on both banks of the Coosa River. Its best-known landmark is the Bibb Graves Bridge, completed in 1931. The area is also home to an impact crater about 5 miles wide, which Wikipedia says was confirmed by Auburn University researchers in 2002.[2,3,7]
South of town, Fort Toulouse-Fort Jackson Park sits where the Coosa and Tallapoosa rivers come together to form the Alabama River. The park lists a recreated 1751 French fort and a partially restored 1814 American fort. Its visitor page also mentions a 39-unit RV campground, and the city lists electric and water hookups at 39 RV sites.[4,5,6]
Wetumpka is about 17 road miles from Montgomery by car and about 14 from Millbrook. A camper at a campsite, a driveway or a storage lot is the kind of place we come to, though campground rules and availability can change, so check with the park first.[1]
Wetumpka became the Elmore County seat in 1866 and sits on the banks of the Coosa River.[3]
