Heh. One of the reasons I got out of RV'ing. Too many things to worry
about. I've grown to really like simplicity.
First blow out I had was on the christening voyage to Florida in a brand
new Pace Arrow Class A motorhome. Inner tire on rear blew.
Spent the night in a truck repair parking lot while the replacement was
ordered and delivered.
Pace Arrow was a piece of crap, BTW.
If you go often and go on short trips like John, the RV thing may be
worthwhile but for the once or twice a year guy, a first class plane
ticket, a rental car and a real nice hotel is a lot cheaper.
We leave on 8 June for the 'Bean Blossom Bluegrass Festival' in Bean Blossom, IN. That's about 650
miles, which, I suppose, is pretty short.
We are going to North Carolina next week but that is still farther
than I want to drive. I am not sure how far it is but I am guessing
about 700-750.
It is a non stop flight from RSW to CLT so we are flying. Last time we
were on our way to DC with $600 worth of illegal fireworks so we drove
but we flew home.
My wife drove to Florida and back twice this year and says I-95 in NC is
now the worst on the trip, and "second-worst" is I-95 in SC. The problem
with Virginia is the horrendous traffic between Fairfax County and south
of Richmond. That's why we cut over to Waldorf and take 301 south to a
bit past Ft. AP Hill.
From where you live, not taking 301 would be an act of stupidity.
