Re: Lexington KY to Dayton Ohio
Take 275 west around town. I-75 through Cincinnati is a train wreck. The road surface will destroy your camper. The lanes have been moved and shifted so many times you pretty much have to guess where you should be in the road. They are also currently painting the Brence Spence bridge which creates backups everyday. Most days with traffic I-275 won’t lengthen your travel time at all.486Views0likes0CommentsRe: Help trip from Ohio to Yellowstone Mount Rushmore Blackhills
We took that trip from Cincinnati last month, our trip was. 1st night travel stop Des Moine Iowa 2nd night travel stop Cheyenne Wyoming 3 nights at Headwaters in Grand Teton national park which is right outside the South Gate of Yellowstone. 5 nights in West Yellowstone Montana 2 nights in Cody Wyoming 3 nights in Custer state park 1 night while traveling home back in Des Moine Iowa Definitely don’t miss the Grand Tetons. 5 days in Yellowstone was plenty, unless you do a lot of hiking Cody, including the drive out of the east gate of Yellowstone to Cody was great. Night rodeo in Cody was a highlight of the trip per my kids. Custer state park in South Dakota was a great surprise. Lots to do there, and also close to Mt Rushmore, Crazy horse, Wind Cave national park, and just a couple hours from the badlands. Campgrounds were: Des Moines KOA Cheyenne KOA Head water resort GTNP Grizzly RV resort West Yellowstone Buffalo Bill state park, Cody WY Custer state park, SD Des Moines KOA All of the destination campgrounds were great, however I would probably do Colter Bay in the Tetons instead of headwaters. The KOA’s were all friendly and clean, but definitely not where I would want to spend a weekend, but they were convenient right off of the interstate and mostly flat, so we didn’t even unhook the camper.2.5KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Andersen hitch
I used one for years, and it worked exactly as advertised. It brought the front of my tow vehicle back to the unloaded height, and it prevented sway. Not sure what else there is to say about it. There will always be those who stubbornly resist or argue against something new. I used a Equilizer brand hitch for 8 years, and the Andersen worked and behaved just like the Equilizer minus the weight, noise and grease. I towed a 34’ 7500 TT with a Tundra and a 2500 Ram Diesel.747Views0likes0CommentsRe: Lifting fifth wheel
I ended up up having it lifted by a local spring shop. They added 4” by 2” steel below the frame, added cross bracing and welded the spring hangers to the new steel. Did a very neat and clean job. I’m still 2” nose high, but I can now get in the driveway.619Views0likes0Comments
