As a new RV'r myself, I feel your pain.  What we ended up doing was looking around at lots of models to find what we liked as far as the floorplan goes.  Then I had a friend, fellow RV'r, come with us to look things over.  We ended up passing on a couple due to their input.  Don't be afraid of...

We are back from our 8 day, 1995 mile, 6 motel, trip.  We chose to drive our car and stay in motels because of the short trip length and wanting to drive to and site see so many places.  I would like to do this again with our 5th wheel but would need another week's time.  We ended up the first...

We'll be leaving on the 13th.  Now I have to decide whether  to tow the trailer or stay in motels.  I'm leaning toward motels actually. This will be a long trip with someplace different most every night if we do Both Cape Breton and PEI. We can do the CAT on the way home for the cheaper price if...

Thanks for all the help, it worked out real good.  Did I get taken at the Tappen Z ?  They charged me 20 bucks to cross the bridge with my pickup and 5th wheel. We've been busy seeing the area.  Just got "home" from a week in Camden, ME.....very pretty coastal town.  Next week we are headed...

I was looking at my old map last night and this was the route that appeared best.  Good to see you agree.  My pit-stop is in Pompton Lakes, NJ to see an old friend.  lol, i told him to think of cousin Eddie visiting in the movie Christmas Vacation. I am planning on 2 1/2 easy days to get to NJ...

I have heard there are some tunnels that we can't drive through with our trailers due to the propane on board. Next week I will be driving from Missouri to Maine stopping to see a fried in NJ. Does anyone know of any highways or routes that I must avoid ? My tentative route is 70 to 78 to 287...
