Bad news.

It has been a long time since we used our AAA "large vehicle" policy.  We still maintain it because of the truck and trailer.

When last used, I don't recall any issues.

Sorry for the long delay in posting.  My trip went very well.  2800 miles from Palm Springs CA to Vermont solo.  Started to feel comfortable after an initial period of hyper-vigilance for the first 1500 miles or so. Good test of the running gear pulling Phoenix to Flagstaff on a 95 degree day. No issues save an oil leak at the base of the filter housing. The guys I had change the oil were just a little careless on the gasket was all. Easy fix.  I will be going through house systems over the next few weeks. Then down to Florida for the winter.  I will give more details and some photos as I go.  I had a short window to do the cross country trip and ended up just going truck stop to truck stop about 500-700 miles per day.  Once I thoroughly test and check all the systems I will be more comfortable with dragging along family and friends with me on the next trip. LOL!!! Thanks everyone! As to the running gear. I consider that a test passed with flying colors...
