Howdy All, This is my first post here on the RV Dreams Forum - I'm glad to be here! I've got a quick question for you guys. I spent the past weekend up in Estes Park, Colorado with my family.

I am hauling a 43' Fuzion that's 13.5' tall, with a Ram 3500 dually. I am traveling from Denver to L.A. and was mapping out my trip & locating fuel stops. As many of you know, we can't just pull into a Stop&Go and expect to have enough maneuvering room, never-mind the roof height. I've looked on RV...

Finally leaving Asheville after 8 months. Next assignment brings us to Bismarck from May to Sept. Looking at google maps, there are basically just 2 routes: first is I75 to 64 to 65 to 90 to 94.

Would like to ask if anyone is familiar with driving U.S. 60 from Springfield, Mo to Paducah, KY? Would you share your impressions of the route, suitable for a big rig (40 ft. motor home, towing a Jeep), high clearance needed (13' 6"). Thank you very much for any information.

Has anyone traveled up the California 101 from Point Mugu to Santa Barbara in a 40' fifth wheel? We're planning this for next week and are wondering if the roads will be problematic.

Need some help from the knowledgeable. Was planning on going from Tennessee to PA via I81. I'm seeing where the max tow length for Maryland is 55 ft. My truck and 5th wheel certainly exceeds that. Any thoughts? Chance it? Go around? Just not sure. Thanks for your help.
