Jump on a plane, rent a car and shack up in a private home rented on VRBO.com. We don't have the time to drive all the way from Seattle to a warm and sunny climate. Can't decide on where to go next.... St Croix, Antigua, Fiji......Hard to Believe!After 14 years of RV'g the winds of change started blowing and the trailer was listed for sale today. Never thought there would be a day I'd not have an RV or plans to go RV'g... Kid's are in college and it's time to start exploring more of the world that we can't reach easily towing a trailer.Re: Deisel vs. GasolineI would think that "saving" 8k after spending around 100k for a new 5'r and new truck is such a small percentage to be almost meaningless given the diesel will be the superior powertrain for your application.Re: Assume diesel and gasser have same torque, compare...I'll still be at the campground before you. Your specific narrow hypothetical situation might beat me to the top of the pass but you'll have a hard time passing a gas station. And Go BA Tigers! Class of 88Re: Death Valley In Marchspent 9 days there in March 09 all of it dry camping. There was never any problems at Furnace Creek or Stovepipe wells getting a site. Mesquite Springs was full by late afternoon.Re: 2 tow or not 2 towHire a DOT licensed and insured "Hot Shot" delivery driver to move your TT.Re: I 5 or CH 99We took I-5 during the Christmas holiday and the traffic was terrible south of the 580 interchange until we turned left towards Bakersfield. Trust it was because of the holidays.Re: Pathfinder vs 4Runner for towing jeffro61 wrote: and have never had any luck with American vehicles or known anyone who did. Seriously? You must not know many people.... My US cars have served my very well. My sons Subaru has been the most problematic $$$$ car I've ever owned and I just spent $2500 for maintenance, radiator, clutch, slave cyl, engine seals on my Mazda. My Dodge Durango has been 100% trouble free over the 7 years we've owned it. A V6 SUV will get poor mileage when towing close enough to what any typical V8 will get to not even worry about. The advantages of V8 power makes cross country travels much nicer.Re: Boondocking safetyIf you are boondocking where there are hordes of partying teens you are not very far from civilization. I've never had any issues.Re: GM sale numbers falling even with new pickup lineFord has the lock on its "no matter how bad" cult following and also enjoys the newer patriot support for standing on its own. Dodge is chipping away at a good GM product more so than eating into Ford. The current GM is not so great in the outside looks department with a very nice interior. The current Ford is ugly on the outside and ugly on the inside. Ram has a good looking exterior and interior with some new and innovative truck features. TONS of people are really troubled with GM's association with our current administration. Don't underestimate the power of patriotism. Live Free or Die my friends
