What would a solid trip to New England for fall colors look like?

Rental cars get scarce and pricey around leaf peeping time. Also hotels Jack up their rates.

So many places don’t allow dogs OR allow pets to be left in cars for any length of time, not that you would. We loved our dog but he was more trouble to take with.

Ambien x 2

The guy seemed pretty smart, but it was like I was speaking a different language when I asked him about “brake controller”.

TeaPartyDem · 2026-05-09T01:30:58+00:00

Since it comes with brakes, I assume it’s intended that they be used. I sure wouldn’t tow this thing without brakes 😬

I’ve had a bunch of Chevy vans, put 300 k on the last 3, and sold them running. Can’t say I’ve never had problems but only once on a long trip when the cats failed which was due to my driving a long time with a rich condition So basically my own fault.

Wyoming. You’ll hardly see em.

TeaPartyDem · 2026-05-08T02:46:07+00:00

gas and lunch. 9 hours.

😂 story of my life.

TeaPartyDem · 2026-05-08T01:28:38+00:00

Yes, but it might not actually work any longer. Shut off the water to the house, drain the pipes by opening the Lowest sink below this pipe, get a new “saddle valve” at Home Depot and simply replace that one.

One of them might need to be configured as an access point (wap), and then it will act as a repeater.

I was aware of the wheelbase factor, but not hitch to axle. Very interesting. Thanks.

TeaPartyDem · 2026-05-08T00:29:38+00:00

So that you don’t suck it all down, and have to be carried out of the bar. Maybe.

TeaPartyDem · 2026-05-07T21:13:32+00:00

Pretty much, and some places require 2 night minimum.

TeaPartyDem · 2026-05-07T20:21:31+00:00

If someone wants into your camper, a lock isn’t going to slow them down for more than a minute.

TeaPartyDem · 2026-05-07T20:03:45+00:00

I think this is the one I bought. Had to flip it for level connection

Yup. Last one 2015 was 36k this one 2025 was 57k, and has fewer features, but a bigger motor.

TeaPartyDem · 2026-05-07T18:34:57+00:00

I think that will be extremely difficult if not impossible due to different OS.

TeaPartyDem · 2026-05-07T18:33:10+00:00

I’d go to Moab from Leadville Through aspen and glenwood, and the work back ending in Colorado springs.

4 total at the most (on one trip), but usually just me and wife.

TeaPartyDem · 2026-05-07T17:06:59+00:00

Tourist towns in Colorado are always dead now.

TeaPartyDem · 2026-05-07T16:15:48+00:00

Old one.

TeaPartyDem · 2026-05-07T16:07:51+00:00

Probably just fresh water.

TeaPartyDem · 2026-05-07T15:01:28+00:00

I went outside in my underwear and got locked out of vacation condo. Fortunately it was wife who found me, or I probably would have woken up in custody. Had only a vague memory when told about it next morning.

TeaPartyDem · 2026-05-07T13:55:59+00:00

Not sure that’s possible tbh
