Re: Best route from Salem, Oregon to West Valley City, Utah?
Thanks, "Blazing Zippers"! I actually decided to just send flowers and call her. An actual phone call will still be a first, and it would be safer and much, MUCH cheaper than my other options. I took my van in for a safety inspection, and it would cost more than air fare, hotel accommodations, and a rental car just to get it safe to drive that far! And right now I don't have enough dough to do either, so.... Flowers, a nice note, and a phone call. I'm repairing my van piece-meal, so maybe it will be up for the trip by summer. :)1.2KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Best route from Salem, Oregon to West Valley City, Utah?
Sorry, SteveAE, I had not seen that you responded. I will definitely look into taking out the bench seat, then! Thanks for your awesome advice! I have an inflatable camp mattress; I wonder if it would fit.... enblethen: Thanks, I will! :)1.2KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Best route from Salem, Oregon to West Valley City, Utah?
WOW, these are ALL informative and very helpful! Thank you ALL!!! I wish I could reply individually, but I don't see a button for that.... I believe I will just try driving it in my van, sleeping on the bench seat in the back. After all, it's only for a week. But I do feel like I have to make this trip. This is a sister I never knew I had, but always missed, growing up like an only child. We met through Ancestry.com a few years ago, and since then we've built a relationship through social media chats and text messaging, though we're both too shy to have tried a phone call yet. This will be a surprise visit for her 50th birthday, and, as an element of our unique situation, I will also still be 50 at that time! It's the perfect setting for us to finally meet each other in person! :) I just wish our birthdays were in the summer....

I would like to take my very old but new to me TT to visit my sister for her birthday Feb. 7th. I've never pulled a TT before, so I would like to know the EASIEST route, not the quickest. I currently live in this trailer, so plants, knick-knacks, wall hangings, small appliances, and un-fixed electronic devices and such need to be considered. Also, I think it probably needs new/better tires first. Plus, post-Covid I'm working on a SUPER tight budget. I would be pulling an 18' Timberline TT with a '95 Dodge Grand Caravan, which I was told by the previous owners it could do.5.4KViews0likes18Comments
