First of all i want to thank each of you for responding! I am over whelmed by the response and have learned a lot. I feel a lot more at ease now and feel i can master the mountains with not much issue thanks to the input received here.
now to answer a few questions.
I can drive for 13 plus hours a day easy. i am a road warrior and make lost of trips on midnight runs. i can go all day and all night.
Google maps show its about 20 hours via a car from Nashville Tn to Mount Rushmore. i understand i will add to that considerably due to being in a motorhome. I feel i can make Mt Rushmore in 2 days. From there i need to make plans.
I don't really want to book camping sites due to i Don't know when we will arrive and i don't really want to be on a schedule.
The motor home has a jake break with high and low, havent figured out the difference yet. The truck i am pulling has no break YET.. suggestions? i am going to get one just dont know which one to get yet. any suggestions would be great!
will respond to everything else in next reply...
