Yo im back from CO.NJ to CO in a 24 ft Winnebago Minnie We towed an empty tow dolly out to bring back a 1999 Chrysler Concorde whic was a pain to get on the dolly but worked great Actually Ive been back for a week but the computer im using now came back from the shop for an upgrade and I fried the video card on my laptop) Those Walmart POIs were a lifesaver bcz on the way out we stopped at a Walmart in the very bottom of michigan ( We took I-80(Penna TPK I76, Ohio tpk i-80 and Indiana toll road 80,90,94) and made a slight detour just to say weve been thereso we found a wal mart and stopped. In Geneso IL we stopped at a Walmart for some basic needs in an RV. And then we stopped in Grand Island NE.(apparently there was a tornado sighting 43 miles from were we stayed). The wal-marts are so safe and better than rest areas in that there arent a lot of loud trucks. Then we followed 80 toI76 junction to downtown denverAnd followed 25 to the usafa
We went back to the same way bcz on the way out we stopped in Omaha to pick up an engagement ringbut we needed to get it sized so we went back the same way. The ride was better than any of my trips on I-70 but apparently on the way back in illinois we lost a trailer tail light.
Road descriptions on a scale of 1-10
Penna TPK- 2/Schukyll exp- 4 (I-76 in PA)(preety crappy
Ohio tpk - (very nice rest areas) 9
Indiana toll road-6
I-80 in Illinois ( northwest thruway) 7
I-80 in Iowa- 7
I-80 in NE 4 (Rough sections)
first half of I-76 in CO -1 ( Just absoluotley terrible and very very rough)
2nd half of I-76 in CO - 7
I-25 in CO-8

Sounds like it was a heck of a trip, glad you made it safely.
I sure am glad you like our Turnpike here in Ohio, It just had major construction done to it, added a third lane.
How much did the gas cost you round trip with 24 ft Winnebago Minnie?
