Yankee BP: We towed a 2008 Crossroads Sunset Trail-Ultra lite. The TT had already seen a lot of use and we decided if it had major problems we would just sell it for scrap and come home. We had NO problems and we didn't avoid bad roads and went everywhere we wanted to go. The TT came home in great shape and is still going (our neighbor bought it). As other have advised, do not be in a hurry. Not having reservations helps with this as you do not get over anxious about how any miles you can cover in a day. You will have no control over this, so relax and poke along. Wish I could go. lizzie
