Re: Kansas City to Canon City, Co to Salida, Co
Thanks for all the tips and the info. I feel better now that I've asked so we would know for sure. We've been there before but we were in a car with no thoughts of hills or grades. I didn't think there was any to worry about but just wanted to double check. Thanks again!293Views0likes0CommentsKansas City to Canon City, Co to Salida, Co
This will be our first long trip with our fiver and we have a question. Our rig isn't really equipped for mountain driving so we're wondering just how much of a grade to expect between these 2 towns. Would a jake brake be a necessity for any part of this route? Thanks so much.1.3KViews0likes8CommentsRe: Best route Kansas City to Harlingen, Tx with 5th wheel?
Thanks to all for your advice. Our trip down was fine but hated that DFW meds for sure. We're thinking we'll try the Wichita Falls route come January. We found a place to stay in Brownsville and are really looking forward to it.496Views0likes0CommentsRe: Best route Kansas City to Harlingen, Tx with 5th wheel?
Thanks for the info. Padre, are the highways using your route all multi-lane? 281 from Three Rivers on down looks pretty lonely and desolate. Is it really like that? Or is it a pretty common route for RV/Trailer traffic into the Valley?497Views0likes0CommentsBest route Kansas City to Harlingen, Tx with 5th wheel?
This winter will be our maiden voyage with the 5'er heading south to the Rio Grande Valley and just wondering if anybody has a favorite route they'd like to share with some newbie snowbirds. We figure we'll drive around 4-5 hours a day and then stop for the night someplace. Any recs on good places to overnight would be greatly appreciated too. It'll be us two and the pup and we're really looking forward to it. We're heading down by car soon just for a scouting trip before we make the big trip after Christmas. Thanks in advance!2.5KViews0likes10Comments
