2019 Cross country RV trip planning

Ma'am,

I would seriously counsel you to rethink your intended plan. You have, self-admitted, no experience regarding this. In addition, you are planning to do it in a vehicle that is already loaded significantly beyond capacity. You have no training, no experience and you are using equipment ill-suited to perform the task. As a result, even before any incident might occur, you have eliminated any safety margin that might be to your advantage.

Another issue is the reality that it is not just about what you can pull; it is also most definitely about what you can stop. Even if you stick to interstates, if you travel through Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, etc, you will be in an environment that can tax novice drivers even when properly equipped. Add in a system failure in an under-rated tow vehicle piloted by an inexperienced driver and the end result can be a tragedy to you and others on the road.

Please carefully reconsider your plans.
