Northern California -> Yellowstone July 2015
Hello, I'm new here ;) Up until just recently, we were long time tent campers. After several years of discussion about getting a rig (and many cold nights,sore backs and wondering how we ...

I just wanted to close out this thread. We're in Winnemucca, and will be home tomorrow (we'd be home already, but we had a flat just west of Battle Mountain, NV, so I begged DW and kids to let me have a rest before laying down the remaining 320 miles to home). This was actually the 2nd tire issue on this trip - on the trip out, I noticed the other remaining cheap Briway (purchased on the TT) delaminating and replaced it. Today, the last Briway failed , at 65 mph. I barely felt it, but another driver was kind enough to bring it to my attention. I carry 2 spares, so no problem, except for the fact that the belt that delaminated was stuck between the brake housing and the axle, so my kids bravely jumped in and pulled the belt off the axle with a rope while I push on it with a hammer and wrench (I did call Good Same, but Good Sam took too long, and the tow company told me that removing the separated belt would be "mobile mechanic" and was not covered by GSRA, so we helped ourselves)
Anywho... Great trip - thanks for the suggestions regarding Village of Trees , kknowlton, and Massacre Rocks, 2gypsies. We stayed at Village Of Trees on the way, and Massacre Rocks (2 nights) on the way home. Both were great, and were enjoyed by all. We also followed the advice to stay outside the park the night before we checked into Grant Village, which was another great piece of advice. We had the family trip of a lifetime, took about 3000 pictures, and have not killed each other yet ;). Yellowstone and Grand Tetons were spectacular. This was our first major trip, and we learned A LOT, and know that we have so much more to learn. Thanks to all for the great guidance!
