We have been planning our 6 week spring trip pulling the AF25R with the Chev 2500hd (6.0 gasser) from home in. CA to Utah,NM, and southern Colorado. Planning to hit the road end of March. Wow! Now I’m not so sure. >$5.00 a gallon regular gas at 8mpg. Hmmmm, I can afford it but worry about a supply disruption at the pump and getting stranded. This situation with RUS-UKR doesn’t bode well. What unintended consequences could could ensue? What are you all doing these days? Going for it anyway? Or sitting this one out?

A supply disruption will have many impacts before it stops fuel at the pump. I'd enjoy the trip and be thankful I could go.

I have heard of no retail gasoline supply interruptions. None. Go and enjoy!

There shouldn't be any supply disruption due to the Russian oil import ban. Last year the US only got about 3% of its imported oil from Russia. About 61% of the imports came from Canada. The Russia ban won't even cause a ripple in the fuel supply. The US is still oil export positive. Pricing on the other hand, is anyone's guess. My attitude is "Pay is pay it or park it." A $1/gallon fuel price increase adds $120/1000 miles, and I can handle that. Not happily of course, but we'll keep right on living and moving in our motorhome even if it means cutting the budget in other areas.

I can think all kinds of calamities real and imagined that would keep me from going.But the reality is you should go now why you are healthy and able.Tomorrow is not guranteed

I'm all in for my 2022 camping season
