We did it in 2010 - great trip.  As someone else mentioned be careful with fuel in eastern Montana.  If you have the time do a side trip to Banff

We cruised out of Seattle left the RV and Jeep at the RV Park - they had RV storage WITH POWER for $3 per day.  Here in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida it is difficult to find storage we keep it at Davie Outdoor Storage but no power

Thank you for all the responses.  We are presently in Columbia River Gorge and will be heading for the coast in 2 days and appreciate all the input.  We are visiting relatives in SF and "must" head out in the easiest way as we will be unfortunately moving along to get back to FL .  Our main...

We are from Ft. Lauderdale Florida presently in Olympic Park area in Washington traveling with a 40  ft. MH and a jeep.  Our plan is to travel down Route 101 to San Francisco area.  Having never traveled along the coast, are there any parts of 101 that a MH or more important its owner will...

Another option is Grassy Key RV Park on Grassy Key.  It is new, small and well maintained.  Only negative is  some sites are close to the highway with road noise.  It is located at mile marker 58.  One negative at Sunshine Key is it floods during the rainy season.  Learned the hard way when...

I can only comment on Sun Pass simply put it is great.  Cheaper and no waiting.  I can't think of any negative they even handle the tow car

I want to thank all who suggested Route 2 across this great country.  We have just finished the ride up Michigan across on 2 plus went to Canada for their Rockies (Banff to Jasper) which is beautiful and now in Glacier NP.  We are so fortunate to be seeing all of these great vistas.  Thanks for...

We have a Nomad 2 with the MHDTV (3 LNB) setup for DirecTV.  It has died in that it comes up with Lock Flashing "No Satellite Found".  I called technical support  and was told a connection came lose.  Well today in beautiful Leeds, ND I climbed up on the roof and found everything as it should be...

In early July we are attending a wedding in Rochester NY and from there heading to Seattle.  To avoid Chicago (and see something new) we were thinking of heading to Toronto RT 69 to Sudbury, RT 17 to S.S. Marie,  then RT 28 to Duluth finally 210 to RT 94.  We have a Newmar 40 towing a Jeep.  Any...

Unfortunately we are leaving from Anchorage and returning to Vancouver so we cannot use the commercial lots in Seattle.  I will look into the cruise line Vancouver parking to see if we can use that however if anyone has storage in Seattle we would appreciate learning about it Thanks Jim & Viv

We are traveling from Ft. Lauderdale to Seattle this summer in our 40' RV.  We cannot leave until July so have decided to do Alaska via ship.  We are looking for a place to store the RV for 2 weeks while we venture north.  Any assistance would be appreciated Thanks Jim & Viv

Last summer we crossed at the 1000 islands into Canada.  The US side was not a problem but Canada was a real hassle.  They asked all the normal questions but when they came to weapons they repeatedly asked the question different ways.  Finally in frustration  I told them I don't own any guns.  I...

Our first was a 40.  The first drive was to the RV School.  After 2 days we we felt comfortable driving in "most" situations.  In the last 2 summers,  we have spent 5 months traveling and absolutely love it.  Make sure you know what you want by asking questions, looking at a LOT of models and...
