Trip report new RAM and 5th wheel, in route to Arizona

We did our first long distance trip with the new RAM towing the trailer. Passing thru Seattle and Portland and out to the coast at Winchester Bay. 440 miles. Mileage was around 12 MPG and 60-63 MPH. Still getting use to how the new exhaust brake works, and not sure that the Banks brake on Old Blue did not work better. AND Old Blue may have ran away and hid from Cherry in a drag race even with the trailer do to torque management.

Did I like it today? You bet! Nice ride!

More in the next few days. Into the Redwoods tomorrow.

That's an oxymoron. Might want to post this in the beginners forum instead if you're trying to hide from some other poster.

I have never been there but a lot of parks will let people store rigs for a small fee.

Simple. Just block him and never have to read anything he types again.
