Thank you for responding, I appreciate it. That looks like the way to go from Mesa Verde vs. the Million Dollar Highway (550). - - - Updated - - - Thanks for your input and recommendations.We we’re looking Yogi Bear Park as a camping option. Like those micro breweries as well. We’ll be...

Thanks for your feedback and recommendations Mike. We’re making reservations at Spruce Lake RV Park this week. Have you ever driven Highway 145 to Highway 62 to Ridgway? We’re planning on staying in Mesa Verde, Ouray/Ridgway, Breckenridge, and Estes (RM National Park). Do you have any other...

Thanks Don! I don’t need that kind of excitement. My wife would not be happy with me! I’ll check out Mary’s Lake and the surrounding area.

Thanks for your input NHCelt! The feedback from you and Danemayer has convinced me to avoid 550 at all costs. Looks like 145 to the 62 is our best bet.

Hi Danemayer, Were planning on making the trip the end of May after Labor Day. Is 550 sketchy in dry conditions? Would we be best suited taking Hwy 145? Tiger Run Resort looks awesome. Do you have any recommendations for Rocky Mountain National Park? Thanks!

My wife and I are planning an RV Trip to Colorado next spring. We are taking our 34’ Big Horn fifth wheel. We want to visit Mesa Verde National Park which will be our first stop and work our way up from there. We are planning on driving to Durango to take the Narrow Gauge Railroad. From there...

I just checked out the Blue Spruce RV Park on RV Park Reviews. The reviews are outstanding and the location is centrally located in the geographical we want to visit. Thanks so much for the recommendation. I also enjoyed looking at your blog!

That’s really great advice. It’s a whole different ballgame hiking and biking in California at sea level vs 10,000 plus! We are going to plan on seeing Mesa Verde, Ouray, Telluride, Durango and the surrounding areas. We will be spending about two weeks in the area. Any additional suggestions or...

You are absolutely right! Colorado is a large state with a plethora of beautiful places to see and experience. We are planning on spending approximately two weeks in Colorado. After giving it some further thought, we would like to see Mesa Verde and the surrounding areas to include Durango and...

I am looking for Campground/RV Resort recommendations in Colorado. My wife and I love hiking and biking. We have never camped in Colorado, and it’s been on our bucket list for several years. We would greatly appreciate any and all recommendations from those of you who have had great campground...

Thank you! - - - Updated - - - Thanks! Safe travels!

I would appreciate it if anybody could give me some input on the stretch of Highway between Lincoln City, Or and Tillamook,Or. I am referring to Highway 101 along the Oregon Coast. It looks as if the highway narrows and I was wondering if anyone has pulled a fifth wheel on that stretch of...

Hi Bob, Thank you very much for responding to my thread. I spend quite a bit of time on RV Park Reviews researching campgrounds. However, I had no idea that there was a forum. I will definitely check this out. I am also intrigued about utilizing Google Earth to get the satellite views of the...

I lost one of the braces as well a couple of years ago. I went to Home Depot and purchased a metal strip and tweaked it so it would fit. You can purchase them from Heartland for $5.50 each. I ordered new fender skirts and brackets from them this morning. - - - Updated - - - I'm no expert but...

It's funny that you mention seeing the skirts vibrate as your driving down the road. I was on the highway last weekend and saw a Gateway Fifth Wheel whose fender skirt was vibrating like crazy. I really like you're idea about epoxying metal strips on the underside of the fender skirts. That can...

Hi Bill, thanks a million for taking the time to list all these campgrounds you've stayed at. This is extremely helpful for us. I usually limit my driving to 250-300 miles a day. My wife and I are both retired and therefore we can take our time. Our passion is sight seeing and hiking. We always...

The campground gets good reviews...we may end up trying it out. Thanks once again!!!

Awesome...and I have an outstanding co-pilot who will enjoy the navigation!

Wow!!! Now that's what I'm talking about!! Thanks!!

Thank you for that tip. I'm going to stop by our Chamber of Commerce in the next day or two to see if I can purchase the Guide.

Thanks Gary! When I replace the fender skirts I'll add the washers. - - - Updated - - - Hi Bill, I read that article in this months trailer life as well. I would also prefer the exact replacements rather than after market products. We traveled a rough highway going up to Flagstaff a couple of...

I need to replace the fender skirts on my 2011 Big Horn. The plastic around the screw holes cracked on both sides of my fifth wheel. I'm not sure if this is a design flaw as I've seen other posts from other people that have addressed this issue before. With this said, does anyone have any...

My wife and I are planning on traveling from Northern California up Highway 101 all the up to Canon Beach with our Big Horn Fifth Wheel. We are looking for recommendations for RV Parks/Campgrounds along the way. We prefer full hook-ups or at least partial hook-ups. I would sure appreciate any...

Taylor's was absolutely awesome! I fished the Smith River but got skunked. It didn't matter, the scenery is magnificent! Thanks again, Dave

One more thing, you cannot drive your fifth wheel up the road to see the Oregon Caves. The road is way to narrow and a lot of tight turns. You may already know this.

We just finished driving the 199 from Crescent City. The 199 doesn't get to tricky until you get about 10 miles past Cave Juntion after you go thru a tunnel I believe on the California side. You'll see a road sign that says road narrows for the next 8 miles. Just take your time and you'll be...

Thanks for the Campground recommendation Bill. Were going to take your advice and give a try! Thanks again for taking the time to reach out to me!

Thanks so much for responding to my thread. We're on our way tomorrow morning. We're planning on staying at Lone Mountain Campground which looks to be just below Cave Junction. We're going to be there for a few nights. I love fresh sausage and jerky! I will definitely stop off at Taylor's...

John, Coincidentally, we are currently working our way up Highway 101. I will be driving the 199 from Crescent City this Sunday 5/17. We are going to stop and stay in O'Brien (midway thru on 199)or a few days so we can see the Oregon Caves as well. I'll let you if we encounter any rough spots...

Thanks for the advice! We are looking forward to the drive thru there come Spring. We will take our time and enjoy the scenery!

Thanks for your response. We're very much looking forward to driving thru there. It's alway good to get some feedback from someone who's driven it. It really looks like a gorgeous drive. Thanks again!

Thanks for the great feedback. This is precisely the kind of information I was looking for! We're planning on driving up the coast on Highway 101 from Southern California and then cutting across at Highway 199 to Grants Pass. We're headed up to Bend stopping along the way to camp. Driving the...

Thanks for your feedback. Looks to be about 50 miles of curvy highway beginning at Crescent City before the road straightens out to Grants Pass. Thanks very much for taking the time to respond!

I'm planning on towing our BH 3150 from Crescent City to Grants Pass this Spring. I would greatly appreciate it if someone out there who has driven this route would kindly give me some feedback. The Highway looks like a beautiful however I don't really want to encounter switchback after...

Ted, Thanks very era much for that information!!!

Trace, thanks so much for your comprehensive response. I'm looking at my map and it says 89A takes you thru Marble Canyon, Vermillion Cliffs, Jacobs Lake, to Fredonia. Is that correct? Is there diesel fuel along the way? I sure appreciate your feedback! Dave

I would greatly appreciate some feedback if anyone has towed a fifth wheel on Highway 389 to 59. We will be traveling from Flagstaff to Zion and wanted to know if the Highway is Fifth Wheel friendly. We will be coming up Highway 89 and it looks very fifth wheel friendly. Thanks!!!

Re: ATF: Bighorn - Battery Issue Thanks for your post regarding my battery issue. That's another possibility that I never thought of checking...again, much thanks!

Thats another possibility I never would have thought of. Thanks so much for taking the time to add this!
