Road to Myrtle Beach?
(Preview)
I'll be heading there from Raleigh, NC. Looking at Google maps, there seem to be 3 different ways to go after getting off I95 - each within 5 miles of each other distance wise.

Best day to travel?
(Preview)
I thought I had seen this answered somewhere else, but it didn't come up in any search. Do you find any particular day of the week to be better for leaving a campground and driving? I saw the times of day addressed (between 10 and 2), but not the day. Thanks!

Tolls pulling a camper?
(Preview)
When you go thru toll booths on the interstate towing a camper, can you use the EZPass only lane (if you have an EZPass ) and be charged the correct amount, or do you have to use a booth that has a person? Thanks!

We are in the Crater Lake RV park now and are traveling tomorrow to Crescent City CA on 199. Seems that this is the only way to get there in a reasonable time and it seems to be a senic ride. However, there seems to be mixed reviews about taking a large RV (we have a 40 foot 5W) on this road. It's also not cons...

Hey folks. Have something of a general question.

Is it a general rule that this back up mirror, with the dashboard monitor is always turned on while driving. Maybe to help moving back into a lane when passing, or knowing how close people are to you while moving? Or is it switched on and off when needed? Thanks for your input, Tommaso
