    • They have a pretty good staff on their Help Desk - click on the "Contact Us" button anyswhere on the page and someone will respond quickly. Everyone on the Help Desk is a user, and an RV traveler, so they are pretty knowledgeable.
    • Was able to schedule written and skills on the same day only five days head of time.  Did written in Columbus at 9am and skills in Angleton at 1pm.  I studied both sections 6 and 14, but Columbus didn't make me take Combinations test.   Had issues getting the details right with both locations, but got it worked out easily since I was well educated from this thread. I mostly relied on free practice tests.  Only read the handbook sections once.  I missed four of 20 so I barely passed.  Two questions I probably could have got right had I read more carefully.  The other two were questions that the free practice tests didn't cover at all.  The practice site I liked the best was dmv-permit-test.com.  My wife is going to take the test soon so I just paid the $35 so she has all four practice tests they offer and hopefully she won't get surprised by any questions on the test. Columbus said they can do the skills test too but you have to schedule in person for some reason.  They made me show proof of my social security # even though I had a Real ID drivers license and a passport.  They were really nice ladies up there, I'd definitely go back.  They were just a little inexperienced with non-CDL class A.   Angleton skills test went smoothly.  The most difficult part was actually getting my 45' trailer behind the building to the point where the test starts.  For non-CDL they make you have you go to the same place are regular car tests.  I have a horse trailer with Living which has axles way in the back.  There was literally no way for me to get back to the start point without driving over curbs. The actual skills test was easier than I expected.  They're definitely looking to pass you if they can.
    • How are you going to vent it? Every outdoor kitchen I've seen has a door over the front, and backs onto interior space.
    • We are long-term at Aberdeen Proving Ground just north of Baltimore off I-95. We always take I-695 west around the west side of Baltimore... it increases our travel time by 20 minutes vs. the other routes. US-1 and US-40 are a maze of stop lights (especially 40 - though we use it for local travel all the time). That would add a lot more time than going around the west loop. Rob
    • A more sensible route would be Pet Forest->Sedona->Monument Valley->Mesa Verde->Arches
