And where would that be Mr. Wildstang? I will need a big marine type deep cycle of battery. Oh and of course it should be cheap and good! I :-)

Otherwise a flawless first outing.
Glad your first outing was a successful outing. I'd love to have 35* right now.

Nice pics bty Shawn. Nice place to go camping it looks like.

Had a couple of trees but the RV is 14+ feet tall so I just as soon not get into too much shrubbery!

Located at 89 south main street, Barre. If not in stock he can get it. Won't be as cheap as the Napa brand but you get what you pay for

Good morning Jim and woodchuck wannabees. Should be a nice day today. Going to run the big rig over to the scales today to see what we weigh with all the junk loaded in it. I'm guessing 13,500 dry but with all the gear except motorcycles on board.

Guess that I have to go see George huh? Interstate makes a good battery.

Yup, I have to pay attention to overpass heights - no trips down 12a from Northfield to Randolph for example - both height and length might get me. I have the trucker atlas with all the overpass info in it. If a commercial 55 foot truck/trailer can make it I probably can. Otherwise, buyer beware!
