I sometimes get as far as Kenora. I have an 86 ford Triple E motorhome and we like to go camping (if you can call it that). It has a few idiosyncrasies so untill I correct them I don't take it too far. I'm not a long distant driver, I love sleep too much, and my wife won't drive the motorhome. how about you, ever get out our way?

Grant, the last time I was that far West was in the late 70s when I moved to Red Deer Alberta, I went out there to make the big bucks on the pipeline & oil rigs, G
I usually head south from here when I travel.........

Our door opening is 98-99 inches wide and 108 - 109 inches tall. on our decks we can go 102 inches wide. We've hauled a F350 before but the driver had to crawl out the sliding rear window to get out (gerth restrictions) lol. We used to bring E350 cab and chassis out of North Carolina to a local RV manufacturer.

Man o Man, I thing this is the longest stretch for me on this forum. I'm going to the garage for a beer and a smoke ( I know it's bad, but It's what I do )
I promise I'll quit going to the garage unless I'm working on my truck. LOL

That is very cool of you Grant! Ive always wanted a little bigger bike as well, hmm.... haha
We bought a Jeep Grand Cherokee diesel that was originally from Michigan, and it has the backwards speedo as well. Its a little weird at first, but ya do get used to it. Damn jeep is so smooth though, that you can easily hit 80mph, and it doesnt seem that fast! Not quite as slow as 80kmph though haha.
Do you guys ever do much cross country stuff? The company I work for, we are always looking for flatdeck work from Etobicoke out west, or alot of times from Winnipeg to Saskatoon, or Calgary, or Edmonton. Its crap that needs to be tarped though haha.
