      When we first started researching we went back and forth between a 5th and a motorhome. We love our Tiffin & at 35 ft we can get to some places the Big Rigs can't. But still, times that we are too big! Glad we can help you guys on your journey & Smart to be doing research! We recommend going to the Minneapolis RV Show in Jan/Feb! Sit in the RVs there and see what makes you feel like your home! Thanks- Joel, Deb & 🐕 Maya

    Hey guys dont know how we missed this one. Really liked the driving advice and following with a drink excellent advice! We love doing movie quotes that was a great one Joel! Oh my goodness I felt so bad when you were talking how tired and sore you are but luckily the next place has a hot tub cause was that the place that they closed it? Oh my that would then be even more disappointing. Very interesting on the toll booths and the tickets. Thanks for taking us along enjoying the trips!

    Sounds like a quiet Harvest Host. Yeah, definitely need a bear after conversing some of the roads leading to your sites. Sounds like a good road trip travling South. We've camped quite a bit in Missouri since Sara and mike lived there for so long, but we haven't camped at many of their state parks. We haven't camped much in Kansas. The hot tub will really help that calf muscle. 😂. Good to know about the EZ Pass and the friendliest toll guy in the history of toll guys. Be sare, Bill and DeAnna.

      The roads to get into some State campgrounds can be stressful to drive! Cracking a beer does help once there and set up! 🍻 We had nice stays at both State Parks- but Maya liked the hiking better in Missouri! Thanks- Joel, Deb & 🐕 Maya

    Stressful roads are a big reason we downsized. Kansas City can be a nightmare to drive through. Last time we drove it, they rerouted the freeway for construction and we had no idea what to do because our GPS wasn't acting right.

    We don't like all the overgrown trees and low-hanging branches. We have met another rig on a tight road and it is not fun at all. Inquiring minds want to know, is this considered a DDD because of the flying bird poop? ~ Shion and Matthew
