Re: Mountain Driving
When going down hill I use the tow haul mode weather towing the toad or not. if you hard tap brakes tranny will down shift if that is not enough hard tap again until you get to speed desired. Tranny will hold in that gear until you give gas and then will shift up again. On long grades I slow down at top so I can control the speed starting there don't wait until you going down to fast then start trying to slow down. If you need to use brakes I apply hard to get down to speed desired and let the tranny work after that don't ride the brakes. It's easy once you get use to your coach and controlling the speed.275Views0likes0CommentsRe: Tow Dolly Vs. 4WD
Jeep is probably the most commonly used but you wont put your Harley in that. I have seen both Ford 150 and Chevy 1500 flat towed many times. I am not sure that they have the capacity to haul your Harley either. That is a lot of extra weight to haul in the back of the truck and flat tow. Thinking I would have gotten a Toy hauler if you want to take all that along with you.276Views0likes0CommentsRe: Odd things that Happen when on the Road
About 5 years ago we were on I5 in Washington state in our class A MH. Speed was about 60mph and came up on a turn with a flock of birds on the side of the road. They took off just as we approached and three of them hit the windshield and bounced off but one went through the air conditioner cover and ripped it clean off the MH. When we pulled off at the next exit I went up on the roof of the MH to check the damage. The bird comes crawling out of what was left of the cover and flies away.352Views0likes0CommentsRe: Please Help to find Eclipse spot in Oregon - Yes last minute

LOL.. wouldn't that suck! not sure where you got your information but weather as of today says mostly sunny on Monday the 21st. Might be little concerned if I was at the coast but in the valley and east you should be fine.189Views0likes0CommentsRe: Crater Lake National Park?
If you are coming up I-5 we have stayed at Seven Feathers Casino RV park and then Day Trip to Crater and Diamond Lake. that is about a hour and half drive to Crater. We have then driven from Crater to Enumclaw, WA and stayed at the Fair Grounds RV park. Then Day trip from there to Rainer, Seattle and surrounding areas. Beach area I would suggest Florence OR and Lane County Campground Harbor Vista. We have stayed at all of these in a 43' 5er.393Views0likes0Comments
