Long Driving Days: Class A vs. Trailer

Depends on a lot of factors. Nice to be able to talk about it while the rig is in storage, but then you get the 'itch' and that makes it more difficult. As you, no doubt, found out with the TT, much of the 'fun' of driving depends on how the rig is set up. If your weight is off, it wants to steer the truck, if your WD hitch isn't set correctly you get the same feeling of the tail wagging the dog. Same physics apply to the motorhome. Simple things like weight distribution, tire pressure and alignment are going to be your major annoyances. Before you set out on your trip, load the coach as you would, fill er up with fuel, but only about 1/4 tank of fresh water, (water is 8#/gallon) You want at least 1/4 tank for emergencies. Once you've loaded it up, take it to a scale and get it weighed. Four corners is optimal but axle weights are ok. With your weight ticket, check PSI in the tires to ensure they're aired up right. If you need the PSI link, let us know. Also, with the weight ticket you can look at your weight distribution and adjust accordingly. Move some of the heavier items forward and back. You've said it tracks straight so it sounds like your alignment is ok but you can also have that checked if need be. Finally, have the rig serviced before heading out, oil changed, filters changed etc. I always carry a couple extra filters for emergency repairs on the road. Make sure everything is a go, insurance is paid up and you've got a big cushion on your VISA limit and you're all set. Enjoy the trip.....Dennis
