Stay on the southern outskirts… it’s worth the extra time. Take 39 to 80/94/90. 80 will skim along south side… usually not bad if you can avoid rush hour. Have your EZPass ready. Any further avoidance routes are going to add WAY too much time. But, as an example of how much I want to avoid...

The Berkshire 40F is a DP.

If the F150 is flat towable otherwise, the lift kit shouldn’t be an issue. Like Gizmo said, get a lift for the Berkshire hitch. You want the tow bars to be slightly higher on the coach end. (Blue Ox says up to 4” higher.) Reason being in case of an impact stop, you don’t want the toad to pole...

The fact that it works on fresh tank and pump a) narrows down where the problem can be and b) keeps the problem from making you end your trip early. Always make sure your outdoor shower faucets are off. I don’t see how that could have anything to do with your problem, but leaving them open...

Our first coach was a 38’ gasser with a wheelbase ratio of just over 52’. It handled awful; squirrelly as all get out. After we got her weighed and adjusted the tire pressures in accordance to the tire manufacturer’s inflation chart, she handled like a dream. RV dealers and many shops will...

Welcome to the forums! Lots of friendly and knowledgeable folks here. But you’re going to have to give them a bit more info. To clarify, you’re looking to keep the price to $50k, yes? If so, I presume you’re looking to buy used. Depending on how old you can tolerate, you can look at gassers...

Hocking Hills SP is unique in that it has several areas that are part of the SP, but are not connected.. there’s private property between and you will drive on state highways and/or county roads to get from one to the other. The roads are hilly and curvy and are well maintained, so are popular...

“PassWord” and “12345678” are not any good?

Welcome to the forums! Lots of friendly and knowledgeable folks here! Is this your first RV? You may want put the make, model and year of both your RV and your tow vehicle in your signature. It’ll save a lot of time for you and us whenever you post.

His RV is built on a Mercedes Sprinter chassis… 30 gallons is probably right.

I could easily be way off base, but I always assumed it was something controlled. Not something innate that one wasn’t aware of, but something you consciously applied or not.

@stripit is spot on! I’ve set up 3 toads so far. The first 2 were traded in at dealerships that I doubt recognized the value of the toad setup. As such, they would’ve been a bargain to a customer looking for a tow-ready toad. Depending on the system you go with, the cost of having it done...

If you’re looking for a used light SUV/CUV automatic: We just got a ‘22 Ford Edge ST. It and the sister Lincoln model (Nautilus, former MKX) can be flat towed providing they have the 2.7 V6. We teplaced our 2014 Honda CR V with that. All automatic CR Vs can be flat towed up to and including...

Like Gary, we’ve not had trouble finding places to overnight, anymore we don’t care to stay at Walmarts so much. Cracker Barrels often allow RVs to overnight as well as Cabelas/Bass Pro shops as well. Harvest Host/Boondockers Welcome are available more in the east than west. We use those...
