Your next step
Twin Lakes (Lake Hartwell · USACE) takes rigs up to 50 ft, so what you arrive in decides whether the loop works at all. If you don't own one, the same trip runs on a motorhome rented in South Carolina.
Nothing in South Carolina is bookable today. Dated requests are what we take to owners, so give us the window you actually want — you get one email the day a rig covers it, and nothing else.
