Good morning WIH gang!

Gavin that looks like a fantastic place! I'm a little jealous.

Thanks guys, it's beautiful up there. We found that spot last June but it had already been reserved.

Have a great day all!

Go Gerry go!

Looks like a great spot. I'm anxiously awaiting my own camping trip. We're trying to find a new place to go for a 5 day trip this year. Mostly, we are weekend warriors (Fri - Sun).

We already have a Labor Day Weekend campsite booked, so that'll be fun (John, it's at Kerr Dam, the place Imentioned a while back).

Wind resistance......

Has anyone done a research on "wind deflectors" mounted on top of the truck cab to lessen the wind resistance of hauling the tall 5th wheels..... ??

I see 18 wheelers all the time with those on top of the cab. As for 5th wheels the trailer is already kind of bubbled in the front so there is no need to mount one on the top of your cab.
