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...

Our preparations for an Indiana to Montana trip included the following.
• Check to see the TV spare tire dropping mechanism was not rusted shut.
• Know how to change TV tire and make sure it in not a little donut spare.
• Make sure your TT spare is inflated properly.
• Have all the jack and other tools and wood block necessary to change your TT tire.
• Make sure you know where to set the jack on the frame. Practice at home before you leave.
• Carry a tire gauge and torque wrench
• Carry a spare 5 gallons of gas.
• We also carried a small 120 volt air compressor.
Our trip totaled 6600 miles of sightseeing. We traveled about 250 to 300 miles a day, used secondary roads when possible, set the cruse at 62 mph. It was a great trip.
I changed a TV flat in the campground parking lot and the TT tire in he parking lot of the museum we were visiting a week later. Both tire changes took about 20 minutes apeice, annoying but we were on our way; not stranded waiting for Road Service to show up.
In fact it was probably less time than it would have taken me to find the Road Service phone number and tap in the answers to the questions they ask.
