RE: Campground in or near Nashville or Smyrna TN
Seven Points is a Corp of Engineer (COE) campground and Recretion.Gov is the site that manages the reservations. There are hundreds of COE arond the country. If you want to make your reservations online you have to register -- that's probably what it's asking you to do.
I have several pics of Seven Points -- you can see them here.
The file name is the site #. Once you click to view the pics -- it will take you into a slide show. Return to the photo album list to see the site #s.

RE: Campground in or near Nashville or Smyrna TN
The only campground right in Smyrna that I know of is Nashville I-24 Campground, which doesn't get very good reviews. It looks to be a former KOA. If you don't mind driving up into Nashville, you have a better selection around the Opry area. Two Rivers, Nashville Jellystone, or Nashville KOA.
You may also want to look into Seven Points COE,which is right on Percy Priest Lake. Beautiful park. There is another COE park closer to Smyrna called Poole Knobs, but that one doesn't seem to get great reviews anymore. Maybe someone has been there recently and can chime in on that.
Do I need a special membership to camp at Seven points? . it looks like a nice spot, But when I went to Reserve America it says I may have to join another Organization to stay there. Any info would be appreciated.:)

RE: Breakdown Information
Unfortunately I have to be a contributor to this thread.
Last August when we were north bound on I-39 somewhere between Bloomington, Ill. and Rockford, Ill. I went over a bump in the road caused by road construction.
All of a sudden my coach had no power. No electrical, no transmission, no engine, no nothing. I managed to coast to the side of the road and their we sat. When I turned my ignitions switch, to attempt to start the coach, nothing happened. I waited a few minutes and tried again and it started only to stop running again. I then went and looked into the battery compartment to see if maybe a battery had came loose and was shorting out against something but they were okay.
I then went back and attempted to start the coach and it started right up. It kept running so we headed out and made it back to Stevens Point, Wisconsin without further incident.
I took the coach up to my dealer who looked the coach over from front to back but they couldn't find a thing wrong with it. So, somewhere in my coach I have a problem waiting to jump out and bite me and there's nothing I can do to prevent it. Scary ain't it.:(
I also had a similar problem, Started my coach to warm it up before a trip. After 3 or 4 min, it shut down no power to any engine or fuse panel. Coach batteries were OK so tried to jump it with no luck. Then I got my volt meter out, Should have done that first but it was in my other truck at home. Anyway found a dead short in + cable to ground. Traced out wire and found underside of coach most wires and hoses run on frame members but on my 95 Vectra the positive wire from the inverter to the batteries j block is run on the bottom of the floor panel with 2 1/4" screws clips that came loose after hitting a bump in the road the previous day . Here is the kicker it was laying on the drive shaft, so while I was moving it would bounce on and of but when I put it up the night before, it welded itself to the drive shaft, DEAD SHORT. So I lost the engine battery but it could have been worst. If I had moved the coach it would have riped the cable out of the inverter. I will have to get a longer cable to run along the frame members the way it should have been done at the factory but for now I installed new clips and more of them:W
