Heber City Utah to Orem, Utah
Does anyone have any experience with Hwy 189 from Heber City to Orem? We have a large, high profile (13’4”) fifth wheel, triple axle. In my RV atlas it isn’t shown as an RV friendly road. We will have to go considerably out of our way to get to I 15 heading down to I 70 if we have to backtrack to the north. If 189 is doable, it would shorten our trip a good deal. Thank you so much in advance.1.7KViews0likes7Comments
Immediate trip home (Salt Lake) from Chicago
Hey all! My son and his dad needed to go to Chicago to say goodbye to someone very close. Well, plans changed and instead of flying, they are now driving. I'm looking for places where they can rest and eat some good things along the way to help strengthen their bond. Any suggestions would be incredibly helpful, thank you!217Views0likes0Comments
Help trip from Ohio to Yellowstone Mount Rushmore Blackhills
We have multiple families that plan on RV’ing from Dayton Ohio to Mount Rushmore, Yellowstone, and the Blackhills in June. I have tried to find someone to design the trip but can’t find travel agents that do this ;) We have never been and plan on taking approx 2 weeks. We plan on driving there as quickly as possible, and taking our time for site seeing once we get there heading through the sites and towards home. Can you please give us ideas on where we should stop 1st, best sites to see, and how many days to see in each? What we absolutely don’t want to miss and if you have suggestions on where to stay “RV parks” along the way etc? We want to see and experience as much as possible. Thank you!!!6KViews0likes14Comments
Hwy 26 in Oregon?
Next summer we would like to take Hwy 26 in Oregon from Redmond to John Day and then to Baker City on 7 OR better yet continue on Hwy 26 to Payette, ID and on to Boise. How is it for getting diesel along this route? We have a 26 gal diesel tank on F250 towing a 30' fifth wheel. We are wanting to go southeast and get over onto I-84. Never been in this area before. Will avoid SE Oregon since there are hardly any towns to get fuel. THANKS so much in advance for advice.3.1KViews0likes10Comments
Oregon 38 and 138
Headed from Reedsport, OR to I-5 on OR 38. Drove this route a few years ago and it was great (and scenic) for towing our 30-foot TT. Does anyone know if OR 138 headed South to Sutherlin is as good a road? It would save us some mileage if we could use it. Any information appreciated. Thanks!1.4KViews0likes10CommentsTrip from NC to SD - Nice Campgrounds on the way
We are planning a trip from Asheville NC to Sturgis SD in June. Using I-40 - 75 - 64 - 65 - 465 - 74 - 80 - 29 - and 90. We have a 34ft Class C flat towing a small car and ideally we would like to do 200 - 250 miles max per day. I assume there are many fellow RVers out there who have used this route and can recommend some nice campgrounds on the way. We are not so much into Walmart or Flying J parking. We'd rather have a nice campsite where we can walk the doggies and enjoy a peaceful evening. Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance for your input. BTW: I know there is a shorter Route through Missouri but we did that twice last year and want to see something else.2.3KViews0likes10CommentsI-90 to US 2 in Montana around Flathead Lake?
We're going to be driving Seattle area to Glacier National Park next week with a 30' travel trailer. What's the best route from I-90 to US-2? Is it worth avoiding the stretch of 28 and stay on 200 to 93? Is it better to stay on 93 west of flathead lake or take 35 east of the lake? and, US-93 through Kalispell or 82-35 to get to US 2? Thanks!1.5KViews0likes6Comments
Towing through New York City
I've towed my trailer up and down the mountains of Colorado and California. I've gone up Interstate 5 up California (horrible road surface). I've been stuck in Seattle traffic tie-ups. I've towed in rain and high winds without getting blown out of my lane. A few anxious moments but nothing truly frightening. My next trip involves towing my travel trailer from Jersey City to Boston over I-95. This involves driving across the George Washington Bridge and over the Cross-Bronx Expressway. Frankly, that scares the **** out of me. What a maze! I'm afraid I'll miss a key exit and wind up on some sketchy surface street without a clue of what to do next. Am I being being overly terrified or should I just be mildly concerned? Any tips of what to watch for to make sure I'm in the optimum lane(s) to get through New York City without experiencing any white knuckle experiences?12KViews0likes38Comments
