Deals can be found but take time Did you single yours, or is it still a tandem? I've considered going this route, I have a few thousand miles in a mid 2000s Freightliner Columbia pulling a 53', and even the "Freightshaker" was very easy to drive and comfortable on the highway. I can imagine a quality truck like a KW with full air ride would be even more so, pulling a relatively light RV. Our is still original with 2 rear axles, this way if I ever change my mind and switch from the Smart to a vehicle that would needed loaded front to rear it can still handle the weight.1.4KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Semi's as tow Vehicles

We love the whole area and are happy to hear about the upgrade on that pass, first time we took the rv west we went from Angle Fire to Taos but when I reached the top I pulled over to let the traffic behind by as to not hold them up anymore and you know what......almost everyone that passed us beeped and waved thank-you.870Views0likes0CommentsRe: Rt. 95 north
To avoid the northern Va backups and DC area you could get off at exit 104 (one above Kings Dominion) then take that road directly to 301 and follow it over the Nice bridge and the Bay Bridge until you reach Route 1 in De which ends at 95, take it north thru Wilmington and get off on Route 202 to Rt 1 south then follow to the exit for the KOA. There are traffic lights on 301 to contend with but I prefer that to the traffic on 95, also tolls on the Bay bridge and 301 by-pass in De. Good luck and safe travels.820Views0likes0Comments
