Merry Christmas everyone! May God keep you safe in your travels this coming New Year!

I am hoping to make a trip out west this coming summer, and I would like to take my Chevy Colorado toad on some of the off road trails so that we can enjoy some back country scenery and adventure. Our Colorado is a 4x4 with a 4 Low range and a Z71 package. I would like some feedback from the...

Beautiful photos, thanks for sharing!

If an existing MH has single pane windows, is it practical to swap them out with dual pane? Are the sizes typical? Are the frames the same thickness?

I travel to Florida from central Indiana and I checked the mileage both going through Atlanta and going through Alabama (Dothan). It's about a hundred miles further going through Alabama, but you do avoid the hills around Chattanooga and northern Georgia. I agree with others that you can avoid...

We'll be in Punta Gorda for Jan., Feb., and March. x2 on this winter being as wonderful as last year's!

I'm not sure I understand your concern. Is you 5er winterized? Are there water lines in the slides that may be more exposed? I wouldn't think it would make any difference if you've winterized it.

Thanks. My experience has been that the weight and momentum of the MH overcomes the engine compression and I just keep speeding up. Normally, it's not that much of a problem, but I have been in areas out west where it gets a little tense! Thanks for your reply.

Is there any kind of braking assist available for gassers?

This is the way mine is, too. We have to make sure that the slider part is open, or the door locks itself.

When we took our trip to the PNW in 2010, we took US20 all the way out to the coast from Iowa, but it actually goes through Oregon, not Washington state. Or you sure you have the correct route numbers listed?

Just to make sure you're aware, I've heard that some of those places are great places to fly fish!  ::)

As far as routes are concerned, I would recommend Rt. 2 through Nebraska either coming or going. From Grand Island to Alliance, this is known as the Sandhill Journey Scenic Byway and is very pleasant stretch. We took this route to Sturgis by motorcycle. You may want to pay attention to gas...
