Just looking for places to stop, places to plug in for the night and must see's. Last year we traveled from Waukesha, Wi to MA. We were able to stop on the turnpike in Ohio (there and back) and plug in for the night. We loved it! We would love to do that again if possible. What are our options?Re: Traveling from WI to MA with new TT!! HELP!!Because of all the great information I have received we are going to leave on on a Friday and get into MA on Sunday. We do indeed need to take a bit more time!Re: Traveling from WI to MA with new TT!! HELP!!Thank you all for the expert information! We have taken the pop up from Waukesha, WI to Sandusky, OH a few times but this is a much bigger undertaking! I will have my husband read each and every post and continue to work on our plans. Keep coming with the suggestions!Traveling from WI to MA with new TT!! HELP!!We upgraded last year from our pop-up to a beautiful 2015 Sunset Trail 28bh. We just LOVE it! Can't believe we waited so many years to upgrade (13 years in a pop up). We had a wonderful summer camping here in Wisconsin last year with our new trailer! We are getting ready for our first trip to MA (my husband is from MA). Over 1,000 miles away. Looking at taking I-90 almost the entire way. We are leaving on a Friday (kids last day of school) at about 4pm. We hope to make it to Cleveland that night. Maybe staying in on Ohio Turnpike RV Lot for the night (we will be able to plug in for $20, dump station and potable water). Then off early to make it to Middleboro, MA late Saturday night. Are we giving ourselves enough time?? Other options for the night? I do need to plug in as I have a CPap that I need to sleep. My husband is installing a camera on the back of the camper this weekend. Any suggestions on which camera to get? Just had the breaks done on the Tundra. Reservations made in MA and NH. Roadside protection on board, new Rand McNally map in hand, GPS up to date. This is not our first drive to the east coast but our first towing anything. Anything that I am missing??? Any items to pack that I did not think of??? ANy items NOT to pack?Re: Are murphy bed's comfortable???I found the following: 23LB Micro Lite by Flagstaff 2306 Micro Lite by Rockwood 209BH Soliare by Palomino Trail-Lite 230BH Trail-Lite 24BH Trail-Lite 242BHRe: Are murphy bed's comfortable???We are finished with the pop up. Just want a small camper with a dry weight of about 3800. I loved the pop up but am done with popping up and down, drying out after a rain, packing stuff into the truck, then the pop up.Are murphy bed's comfortable???We have had a pop up for 12 years. Last summer we were so ready for a TT due to rain on every camping trip! We pull with a Honda Ridgeline that is able to pull 5,000. We need bunks and a queen bed. We are intrigued by the 209BH Solaire. It is the right size and has a murphy bed making it roomier. But my question is- is it comfortable??? A local dealership told me they won't sell them as people have buyers remorse when buying a camper with a murphy bed. I also have to mention I am looking for a comfortable bed as I had a car accident last year and the pop up is no longer comfortable. Thanks for the help!
