Traveling from WI to MA with new TT!! HELP!!
We upgraded last year from our pop-up to a beautiful 2015 Sunset Trail 28bh. We just LOVE it! Can't believe we waited so many years to upgrade (13 years in a pop up). We had a wonderful summer camp...

Wireless Camera System
I just installed this system and I like it. The installation is fairly easy as you just need to tap into the running lights for powering the camera. The monitor simply plugs into the 12 volt power outlet, and the monitor mount sticks to the windshield with a suction cup.
As to your travel plans, you may be trying to push too many miles in too little time. With the Tundra, you do have to stop for gas after 150 miles or so, unless you really like to run the tank down. I prefer to stop before the tank gets down to 1/4 and I don't like pushing the speed more than 65 mph. If I were planning the trip, I'd want to be off the road around 9 p.m. on that Friday. Then get an early start on Saturday and get off the road around 5 p.m. That should leave you a very short ride to get where you're going on Sunday and you'll still have time to enjoy the day, and not be exhausted from pushing so hard. I'm thinking 200-250 miles on Friday, 500 miles on Saturday, and the balance on Sunday. You don't say how many days you have for this trip, but using 3 days to travel will make it a lot more enjoyable.
Final thought: Do you have LT tires on the Tundra? I made the swithc from P rated tires (shouldn't have towed with them) to E rated 10 ply tires on my Tundra and it is much better for towing, as well as safer.
