i suppose distance wise, i am base in NY and I could find myself in TX, MO, SD, AZ, NM,. FL, TN, MI, MT, ID, UT, NV VA, GA, NC, SC, PA, on any given "Break"
for me to drive 1600 miles in 2 or 3 days is nothing, that what i do for a living. So when we go on vacation we go........
But we are talking 3-4 times a year at this point. Probably more as we move along. Part of the reason we are traveling around is to see where we want to "Retire", where to pick as home base. I don't see myself, at least right now, living full time in an RV. there are a few to many things i want out of a home. but i do see planning a good deal of time in my 5th as time goes on. I have driven the lower 48 of the 50 states, ( no HI or AK) but honestly, i haven't "SEEN" squat. you see the same trees, burger kings, and gas stations in almost every state from the highway. I want to take the back roads and "SEE" the USA. o as time goes and i get closer to retirement )not to far off) I will be spending more time RVing and Cruising . the 2 things i love besides being home and playing with Model trains and RC stuff.
So maybe my stock hitch will work for a few times out and then upgrade to a good hitch, but i still wold like to plan ahead as to which and how.
