Pretty soon now, we’re going to embark on our Summer Vacation. Our summer trip will be a little shorter this year, since we’re also planning another late summer excursion to Reno – more about that later. In the meantime, we’re going to head up the California coastline to beat the heat inland and to experiment with towing a 24 foot travel trailer. <\/p>\n
Since we very much enjoyed renting a Cruise America motorhome for the last couple of outings, we decided we would rent a travel trailer this time. Primarily to let us park the trailer and head out of the campground in the SUV for day excursions (something we were unable to do with the cruiser without breaking camp down) and secondarily, to see if a travel trailer could be in our retirement future.<\/p>\n
It’s been a number of years (double digit for sure) since the days when I drove a tractor with a trailer behind, and even more time has passed since I worked on a flight line hauling everything from line equipment to large aircraft. I’m pretty sure I’ll be OK with this little 24 foot rig.<\/p>\n
In the Google® map above, you can see our proposed route via US-101, SR-1 and a little of I-5 on the way home. We will be posting photos from the road. Stay tuned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
