  1. Sounds like a good reason to plan a meet up
  2. You will miss the toll on De route 1 but pay the toll on the new 301 by-pass around Middletown, the toll at the Bay bridge is northbound, if you stay on 301 until Va you pay the toll southbound at the bridge into Va.
  3. Route 40 I believe is basically the truck route thru Baltimore and not a really fun route to follow, another way around would be is traveling south in Delaware take De route 1 to 301 then 50 west from there you can jump back onto 95/495 or 301 south but there are tolls.
  4. Yes, possibly but still an option, from what I have seen they are not cheap so keep that in mind.
  5. Also, Love's travel plazas are starting to have rv spots with hookups which might be a good option.
  6. Henry so sorry to hear about your friend, I am sure stepping up from "VP" is a bit hard at this time but I am sure the work you did together will continue as least "In his honor"
  7. Thanks for sharing the outcome and glad your back up and running!!!!!! Your also right the knowledge here is fantastic and I know it helped me when making the HDT decision.
  8. We have a rule in our family that batteries HAVE to be included to insure it is a complete gift, of course Mom always seemed to have "extra" batteries on hand.... aren't Mom's GREAT!!!!!!!!!

    New truck

    Sounds like a win win, congrats
  10. If a credit union would work, I would suggest that if they are in what's called the Shared Branch system to use that one as then you can use other credit unions in the system while traveling. We use one now that we have at home and works out well, but you do have to look ahead to see what might be available where your headed.

    Myth Busters

    Once during my work years, I ended up on a run that went into Queens NY 5 nights a week, on the directions from dispatch they read to ignore the sign "All Trucks 13.6" must exit" this was a section they called the shelf close to the Brooklyn Bridge and keep going, we also had trailers that were 12.6" just to get thru the tunnels in the city.
  12. I guess if the speeds are the same then yes I did not mention what speed, but we did see it in areas that the posted speed was 65 and so was the construction zone speed posted at 65, my wife even commented about it.
  13. On another note, I like the states that post construction site speed limits and they are the same speed as the ALREADY posted speed, seen this a lot in our travels this year.

  15. This was part of our training at UPS when going into the tractor trailer side of the company, been doing this since around 1988
  16. Thanks, we did a drive by on our way out and saw your truck, very nice, we move Wed from the Thousand Trails park to one in Webster for the winter, it is not far and would be glad to recommend it and will reach out via pm if needed. We stayed in your campground 3 winters ago but on the other side.
  17. Nice looking truck, by chance are you in Citrus Valley? We will be stopping in there Sunday to visit with friends. Good luck on the sale

    National Rally 2023

    Rod, thanks for all the pictures we hope one day to attend but something always seem to get in the way, this year our son got married in Texas now why didn't we think to do it at the rally!!! 😛
  19. River Stone will have a new floor plan at the Hershey show, not sure when it will be on their web site, I really liked it but do know the garage is 13' if garage size is important, the living space was the best that I have liked in a toy hauler.

    Lancaster Tires???

    Thanks for all the comments and they are about what I expected (I know what this group is like) I just put Toyo on for steer tires at this shop and did ask about drives but the Lancaster brand was not offered to me, I did look them up online and basically found the same results.

    Lancaster Tires???

    Question asked today from a friend, looking for drive tires for his HDT, the shop I have used recommended Lancaster brand, we have never heard of them and in research found they are a sister brand of Statewide which also have not heard of so my question to all here, have you heard or know of this brand and what quality they may be. Thank you all in advance.
  22. Henry, I always enjoy following along on your threads and build projects, sometimes I learn as I follow sometimes it goes over my head sometimes I get a good laugh, but when I get a question, I can usually look back and find the answer. Thanks to you and many other folks here we have always been pleased with our HDT decision. I knew when we bought my first upgrade was going to be our ET and knew it was a great upgrade, thanks again for all you have done to help many here!!!!
  23. Good to hear you are finally getting back on the road, safe travels!!!!
  24. Denver, right now we are planning on attending on our trip home from Florida, we will let you know what site we get when we reserve, do you know what sites you're looking at to be together? I have also let Charlie Lord know about it, it's just funny seeing them in a motorhome and not Tow Mater. Rennie & Beth Roberts
