    Lincoln, NE to Mitchell, SD route question.

    I'm headed up to Mitchell, SD after leaving Lincoln and my Garmin RV 770 GPS shows taking I-80 east through Omaha to I-29 instead of just going up 680 over to I-29. I'm sure I went on 680 years ago from Sioux Falls to Lincoln with no issues other than a bit of congestion. Any reason to avoid 680...

    High Transmission Temps

    The last couple trips we've taken in hot weather I've had transmission temperatures crept up over 200 a couple of times. My transmission doesn't have an auxiliary cooler other than the radiator tank and I'm considering adding one. The truck is basically stock, but I have put in a transmission...

    Travlfi

    On a recent trip having a Travlfi XTR was a life saver. I was at Petit Jean State Park in Arkansas and there was no T-Mobile service at all. I take my TMO home internet gateway from home with me. This was a minor issue to start off with and a fellow camper recommended Travlfi. My Grand...

    Check your tires CAREFULLY!!

    Sharing so that maybe this helps someone avoid a roadside blow out. Having to change a tire on the side of an interstate with cars zipping by at 80 MPH is no good. On a recent trip across Kansas on I-70, I did my usual walk around while pumping gas. This time, when looking at the tires, I...

    Horizontal Sliding Window Stuck

    The rear window on our RV is a slider. We moved from Denali to Fairbanks this week and somehow during that segment of the trip the window got completely wedged in the closed position. I can't shimmy it one iota left/right or up/down; it is just frozen in place. I'm afraid to use too much force...
