So not thinking it too awkward to travel west for the winter.<br />I've followed your decisions about moving for some years now....recently heard a quote that I will gently pass on. Author unknown. "He who deliberates fully before taking a step will spend his life on one foot." Your inner self wants this freedom.lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05417850245451338218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3129594103639249226.post-22787142861944060802015-06-27T11:52:38.769-04:002015-06-27T11:52:38.769-04:00This question is kind of off topic ... I've fo...This question is kind of off topic ... I've followed your blog and your trips west. I'm still trying to answer my own question on whether to sell my small house in Indiana to move a "base camp" to the western states. I assume your duplex you are moving to is located in TN. With that assumption, do you mind having your principal residence so far away from where you travel in the winter months?<br /><br />I just traveled from Indiana to Utah a few weeks ago. I love driving but had the thought there was no way I could have a base camp in Indiana when I want to spend most of my traveling out west.<br /><br />I didn't see anyway to email you, so I've left this question in the comment section. Thanks for taking the time to read it, as I know you are busy right now.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08464723652295679622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3129594103639249226.post-5297880003044475862015-06-27T09:05:42.685-04:002015-06-27T09:05:42.685-04:00No, not lost...just sleeping soundly!

Most friends told me that they had to adjust and make it work themselves as their local RV place had no clue on how to do it right. My one girlfriend that had it installed has not been able to get the lift her van needs.<br />Look for a You Tube video by Andersen that has a guy speaking with a British accent. He does the best job of explaining it. <br />Best of luck!!lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05417850245451338218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3129594103639249226.post-33041931425191941362015-06-26T16:17:42.848-04:002015-06-26T16:17:42.848-04:00Congratulations on the sale......and wishing a smo...Congratulations on the sale......and wishing a smooth closing......I like the hitch, wonder if a local U-Haul place can put it on...though I have always been watchful of the u-places and tried to get online reviews on any specific ones...Mounteagle looks like a hair raising event...I watched the video....<br /><br />so after your first camping adventure, how did the "New Egg" work for you.....did you get lost with all the new space.. :)<br /><br />Take care and enjoy...Horst sends<br />ps..great Louisville at night shots!horsthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06516742318445454382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3129594103639249226.post-23672970355105907972015-06-25T21:29:03.807-04:002015-06-25T21:29:03.807-04:00We used to tow a 29 foot travel trailer with an Eq...We used to tow a 29 foot travel trailer with an Equalizer hitch.

It is referred to as "first generation" as the truck got more powerful in it's later years. <br />We are doing great on flat and downhill. I don't like the feeling that it's doing all it can when we are climbing. It might feel better with a WDH or we might be fine with a later model, 2005 or newer, Tacoma.<br />I have been meaning to post on the Escape forum, introducing myself and asking how many are towing with Tacomas? Let me know what you learn!<br />lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05417850245451338218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3129594103639249226.post-2750015923157441242015-06-23T20:47:38.040-04:002015-06-23T20:47:38.040-04:00Great idea...I'll look around.
