We have a rather different approach , we land at LAX, take a taxi to the rv storage yard, get ready for take off then flip a coin, north or east ..........simple

Hi all, we come over to the US 3 time a year with our 2 kids ( both under 5) usually spending between 3 & 6 weeks at a time, we like California but have been roasted by some huge campsite fee's so reckon this would be a cheaper option as RVing seems to becoming a rich mans sport, our problem...

Hi all, we are flying into LAX on the 26th Nov from the UK, our new rig is sitting in storage in Torrence LA, we were going to head straight to the beach but everywhere is pretty full already, cant get into Dana point, Chrystal cove or Huntington beach state parks as we are too long 35ft and...

So that's the new dodge done 4000mls pulling 11,000pounds across the US and I'm very happy with it, the hemi engine pulls like a train and had plenty of power :-)

So I managed to cross from MI to CA without any problems, one if the guys on the trip had asked if we could travel some of Route 66 on our journey as it was on his bucket list, so we headed down towards Oklahoma and in to amirillo TX before I lost the will to live , decided to head north up to...

OMG I had no idea about any if this , I travel in the US for around 2-3 months a year and had never considered any of this , I have a young family and I'm feeling rather foolish that I hadn't considered carrying a pump action shotgun with us, infact I should really have one in the cab of the...

I have driven this road once before 20 years ago so apart from Utah I have very little recollection of the road, my buddy has never been to the US so I'm keen to show him all the sights, after the first post about the gas v diesel I sent an email to the dealer to see how much extra they would...

Thanks for the info, I thought I was happy enough with the gas engine because when we were running up and down the west coast in 2012 we just couldn't find a ford dealer who had a "Diesel specialist" all we needed was heater plugs fitted for cold starting but they all took one look under the...

Here in the UK we pay around $10 per gallon so we are used to high fuel prices :-(

Time waits for no man, so I've had to jump in and go with a new dodge Ram 2500 tradesman 6.4L hemi, not what i wanted but the only thing i could get in a hurry under $35k, there are lots of people saying they want to sell trucks but not answering or sending emails ? very strange, wish I had the...

I'm heading of on a road trip from Grand Rapids MI to Vegas next Monday, I was going to punch in the satnav but I'm aware that sometimes what your satnav says and what you "Should have done" are different, is there anything I should be trying to avoid with a 38ft 5e (10,000 ponds ) and a 2500...

I'm still looking for a new tow vehicle, the dodge dealer tells me that if I can find an ex Chrysler employee with a CDI number he can take an extra $1000 off, does this work and were can I get one ?

I'm looking for a F-250-350 or the equivalent Dodge, im working to a budget of $35k all in, I need it by the 6th Oct in Chicago or Grand Rapids to take delivery of a new 5er, don't want anything with huge miles, under 80k, preferably with the hitch and brake controller already fitted, I'm happy...

Yes your right there, it only had 55,000miles on it but the 6.0L did come up a few times when potential buyers tried googling that model, I'm not entirely set on the ford but I am down sizing , the big dually is a nightmare to park in and around the LA & San Francisco areas without taking up two...

This thread makes my ears perk up, I'm sitting in Scotland (UK) looking to buy a truck in the US, I've narrowed down the search for a 5er but I'm looking at truck prices and there huge ! especially used trucks, I virtually had to give my last F-350 king ranch away in CA 3 years ago and I'm...
