The deal with VOG is getting thru a wash that has that steep angle of departure and dragging the rear of yours over it and perhaps getting hung up. There are only a couple, but..you only need one, eh...

Thanks Gary for the additional detail on VOG travel.

So far I've been able to handle washes pretty good by just using the transverse angle method. It also helps a bit that the back of our Class C sets up perky due to spring under-loading, my tires are over stock diameter, and the coach sidewalls angle upward from the rear duals in a straight line right up to rear bumper height - IAW no dangling rear wall edges to get scraped. All tanks and drains are well up out of the way. About the only thing low back there is the hitch, which sticks out just below the high-up bumper.

FWIW, I just Google Earth traveled the Moki Dugway a bit today and the road doesn't really look that bad at all - nothing like the roads in the Colorado High Country that prospectors travel on to mine quartz. You gotta love those latest high resolution GE maps.

The photos along the GE map routes that folks post are absolutely outstanding. I capture the best of them, Photoshop them a bit, and then use them for screen savers to keep my travel bug wiggling.
