RE: Is 8' too wide for todays highways
On the whole, our roads are wider than they've ever been. Go to IL. or MO. and drive an old section of RT 66. You won't complain anymore about todays road widths.
Mark
do not try it on the part of hwy 66 between Oatman & Kingman AZ

RE: Is 8' too wide for todays highways
the more you drive it ( motorhome)or pull it (trailer) the more you will get use to it and it will become EASY
In 1960 I had pulled a lot of trailers so so i bought a trailer towing truck and got a class A lic. & went to the Vesper trailer transport co in Long Beach Ca.and got a job.
the First Trailer they had me pick up at the factory to take to the dealer was
( 10 ft wide 55 ft long mobil home after I hooked up to it i looked back in the mirrow and said to myself ^%$#@$#$%^^& .
after the first week i would sooner pull a 55 ft 10 wide than a small travel trailer I spent the next 6 years doing this about 6000 miles per week

IT WILL GET EASY

RE: which route would you take
You Are talking about the hwy from
Bullhead City To Kingman Az
I dont how long ago it was when you drove hwy 68 from Bullhead City but we use it all the time going to bullhead it is a very good 4 lane div. hiway about 6% grade towing a jeep
uphill i dont need to shift down climb it about 30 to 40 mph
downhill I coast down in high when I get to 52 mph I touch brakes to slow down to about 40 mph do this all the down the hill
Bob & Judy
P.S. by going thru Bullhead City you can save a lot by getting gas in Bullhead City

RE: Emergency Road Side Assistance
Good Sams dont always pick the closes repair site. they pick the one that take you right in & can get you back on the road.
we had a fuel pump quit in Menifee Ca, at the stop light at the I5 on ramp.
there is a lot of RV shops & tow Trucks in Hemet Ca.but they had us towed to the repair shop in LAKE Elisnoe Ca and had a tow truck come from Rancho Cucamongo Ca.
very happy with GS ERS
