We did our first long distance trip with the new RAM towing the trailer. Passing thru Seattle and Portland and out to the coast at Winchester Bay. 440 miles. Mileage was around 12 MPG and 60-63 MPH. Still getting use to how the new exhaust brake works, and not sure that the Banks brake on Old Blue did not work better. AND Old Blue may have ran away and hid from Cherry in a drag race even with the trailer do to torque management. Did I like it today? You bet! Nice ride!More in the next few days. Into the Redwoods tomorrow.Chris

Settling into our winter park in Gold Canyon, AZ. Love the new RAM. Only short coming is the 31 gal fuel. Low fuel prices coming down from Washington was a bonus. Chris

Got to finally pull a mountain pass with the trailer today. Walked up CA-58 to Tehachapi at 58 MPH in 4th at 2100 RPM with tons of extra throttle. Quiet and smooth.

We stayed at a Passport America site in Chowchilla, Ca that was very rustic and had RR Track next door!

We are in Desert Hot Springs now for three nights.

We did 314 miles today down Southern Oregon and Northern CA coasts. A lot of road sluffing on 101 in Oregon. Raining pretty hard here at South end on Red Woods. Darn Smart Phone is not easy to type on! Chris

That's an oxymoron. Might want to post this in the beginners forum instead if you're trying to hide from some other poster.

What is wrong with you? .....edit.....
I agree that's a lot of miles for a fulltimer, but not for a snowbird who wants to get out of the snow and is headed for Arizona.
