RE: Beware of Camping World!!!!
So you just signed up to this site today to file yet another CW rant?
Maybe if you had done your homework re CW you would never have been in this situation.

RE: Rout assistance Vancouver, BC to Arizona
Traffic versus mountains.
You choose.

RE: Where are the snow birds ?
If your traveling south, you won't see many other RV's doing the same. Now if you were traveling north, you would pass a lot more going the other way.This. Drove down from PNW to AZ last week. Plenty of rv’s on the road, packed up like they’re staying a while.
And Kanab, Page, Flag, Payson areas jammed with active rv’ers (best season there for that, of course)

RE: shifting on downhills
I think what Gritty is saying is, learn to drive the rig instead of having the rig’s computers drive you.

RE: Highway 89 in Utah
US89 south of Utah 12 is a great road. Our preferred route toward Arizona each year. Has its winding bits, but no gravel that I recall. Great bakery in Orderville, too.

RE: shifting on downhills
Just do what you have to to avoid riding the brakes down the hill. If your speed climbs too high, brake fairly hard but short, and realize you should have been down a gear or too more.
Accept slower speeds, both up and down.

RE: Quadrants, rather than one big cross country trip?
I did it essentially that way.
Live in northwest.
Headed to midwest, left the rig over the winter in a storage place.
Went back in the spring, toured northeast, left the rig in inside storage in North Carolina.
Went back the next year, toured the southeast, then headed to Arizona and onback to northwest.
Worked for us. Good storage is not cheap.

RE: Around Chicago west to east?
You could go south of Rockford, then 52 and 30 toward Indiana. But some of 30 is pretty sketchy -- might be better off to just stay with the interstates and find a better time off day (Ha!).

RE: Willamette Valley to Whidby Island
Going off onto 507 will only add suburban stop and go to an already congested route.
So your choice: Stay on I-5 and deal with the traffic up to Mukilteo (downtown SEA and Northgate areas will be stop and go)
Or take 101 and 20 to Port Townsend. Slow going, but much more scenic. That would be my choice.
Either way, there's a ferry. Full of RV's and trailers.

RE: Heading south from Tacoma early November.
SLC is my least favorite urban drive-thru. I look at it as 120 miles of misery starting at Tremontin, down to exiting Provo. Lots of traffic, reluctant to let you change lanes, beat up old trucks, crappy road surfaces, and massive orange-cone areas.
There is no alternative. I just caffiene up and head on in.
Well, actually I go by US93 through Nevada when at all possible.

RE: Heading south from Tacoma early November.
I run Eastern Washington to Mesa every year for 20 years.
Snoqualmie problem is the heavy traffic and speedy drivers (just over it yesterday eastbound).
I84 is an easier and less stressful route. Cabbage Hill is not a problem, just a long climb. Never found it difficult in my DP towing. That would be my route.
That said, it's all about the weather. Unlikely to be an issue in early November, but you never really know. Check the Oregon highway website and look at the cameras for Cabbage Hill, Meacham, and Baker city to see what the conditions are. If it's snowing, wait a day.
SLC is a topic for another day!

RE: Trip 9/17 to 10/7 to Lake Louis/Icefield/Jasper.
Make sure the places you would stay are still open.
After Labor Day (sorry, Labour Day there!) some stuff begins to shut down. By mid October, your choices are fewer.
It is my favorite time there, especially the roads to Maligne Lake andto Mt Edith Cavell.
Chilly at times!

RE: Montreal?
Traffic in MTL can be a real "adventure". (Lived there for some years back in the day!) If it were me I'd settle for the KOA as it is reasonably close, and then Uber either downtown or to the nearest Metro station. Of course it depends on what you wish to see in the city. For me, it would be the food!
I've never found that campgrounds near major urban cities are all that great. They just do what you need, so if that means a few kids hollering, so be it.

RE: I-90 Missoula to Billings
Done it several times, towing and not towing. All sorts of RV's run that route every day. It isn't a problem.
As to the condition of the road surface right now.....I don't know.

RE: Detroit road conditions
Thanks for the input. Running the I94 through Detroit to the I275 was easy peasy. But holy cow that last 10 miles of south bound I75 before the Ohio border is horrible.
I think that they keep it that way to try to convince people from visiting Michigan. It is a real jolt when we come home from being south and just after the "Welcome to Michigan" the highway turns to ****.
Been that way for the last three administrations. I have written to each to complain.
Matt_CWell maybe because there are more overloaded trucks than cars on that piece of roadway?

RE: Remote measurement of fridge and freezer temperatures
I have used Acurites in all my freezers, both at home and in the RV's, for a number of years. Never had a problem with them not working. I do, however, change out the batteries every year.
