Thank you. I've tent camped there and plan to make the trip out that way real soon. I'll be sure to say hi!

Have a LOT of fun!!

Thank you. I hadn't considered an RV club. But, that sounds like a good way to get involved in this new community.

And, yeah... you don't need a 380 to pull these heavy rigs around the country, but having a 'wide body' rear axle sure does help.

Awesome! I fly for a company that operates single aisle only, it's what I'm used to!
The wide body could definitely be in our future. The more I read, the more I realize bigger is better.

Jeff, thank you. I appreciate the reassurance. Yes, we have the 6.7 power stroke. I installed a B&W companion slider yesterday and threw in a set of Air Lift airbags for good measure. Hopefully, this will be a comfortable ride. I'll report back soon.

Thank you! I'm so happy to see that there are so many here that understand the aviation lingo. Sage advice indeed. It will be an adventure!
