Travelin, good job with all that you've done! Have you thought about joining a traveling forum or something like that to post a "captain's log" during your travels? I, for one, would love to keep up with your pics, destinations, and adventures! Most of all, I wish you safety and smiles all along the way! Translation: I'm jealous... ;)

Zeus; I'll think of you when I'm driving along and see a trail going up over a mountain somewhere and I stop,unhook the VX and start into the unknown.:)

...Why darn you! LOL I guess you may as well dream a little dream for me too... :_steering

Here's to your adventure! :_beer:

"I'll think of you when I'm driving along and see a trail going up over ... Gooney Bird's foot ..."

Travelin2 - Your set up has me droolin. We just got a Coachman & now hafta figger out how to take the VX along for the ride. I'm leanin more towards a trailer tho (I know you don't like that approach but it gives me more versatility).

You bet Tom, whatever works best for you. Everybodys needs are different. Good luck with your setup. We just towed down the Oregon Coast and through the Redwoods in Northern California. We are spending the night in the KOA Campground in Willits,CA. Everything worked like a charm.:)

We'd like to possibly do this sometime in the (distant?) future.....can I ask approx how much this all cost you?

Now that you're actually on the road/underway, notice any problems or concerns pop up?
