Route 83
We are looking at taking route 83 from Minot, ND to Abilene, TX in the beginning of November. Has any one tried that trip at that time of year? We are pulling a 35ft 5th wheel with a 2008 GMC 2500...

Road is fine.
Mind you, there are parts of US 83 in northern Texas where facilities are few and far in between. Unfortunately, Canadian down towards Abilene is the major "dead" zone. Canadian has an RV park in town, but other than a county run rv park on the Salt Fork of the Red River near Wheeler, Texas, not much until you get to Abilene. The county park mentioned is a nice spot for any overnight stay. We haven't been there in years, but it was very nice when we were there.
Watch your weather forecasts for sure, and try to time your run south between storms. I've traveled that route in late December from Texas to North Dakota and there can be times where there's plenty of snow to go around.
