Headed on our first long RV trip. 1600 miles round trip. Y'all keep your fingers crossed for me. I'll check in from time to time and post progress

Is this post from on the road? In any event, good luck!

Would like to know your route.

Route was I20 to Dallas then thru Wichita Falls to Amarillo, then down 40 or up...to Flagstaff. Tomorrow is Grand Canyon, Sedona and down to Phoenix.

That message was from my house right before I left.

Surely, it's more than 1600 miles round trip from Ms to Flagstaff, Az. Bet you meant 1600 one way. However far you go, hope you have an enjoyable, safe trip.

Mr. Rand McNally told me it is 1382 miles one way from Jackson MS to Flagstaff AZ. Hope Jeff did not get snowed in! Did you see 2.1 inches of snow in El Paso TX. Wow.

Jeff, when I picked up our 85 Regal, in April '04, in Prescott,Az, I made it as far as Flagstaff the first day. Ran into a full-fledged blizzard and had to stay at a Days Inn. Nice town. Took my time and stayed on I40 all the way to North Carolina. Nice ride, very picturesque.

Wow! Hope you are having a great trip.
We will be off our own road trip to Arizona in about a week. It all depends on the weather locally wen we actually head out; we had our first snowfall last night, but it has already melted.
We are planning to be in Quartzsite for the big rv show about the middle of the month (January)and then on to San Diego for a few days, then it is back to Phoenix for the rest of the winter.
We'll likely head back towards home around the middle of April.
The Barth has been checked out and seems ready to go on what will likely be about a 5000 to 6000 mile round trip. We can't wait!

How was the trip? Any pictures? Good adventures?

I'm sorry, It was 1600+ miles one way and we made the round trip in a week. I do have some pictures and will post them later. I actually have my sister from Hawaii visiting right now and my grandmother from H-town. I had my grandson here all day as well.

We missed a sand storm by one day on the way back coming thru Tucson and had a belt or 3 break in Las Crucas. Other than that it was smooth sailing. Really too long of a trip to make in a week but it had to be done.

That means you all went 450+ miles per day...you all were hauling!

I'd love to, but I don't think the Barth will be up to it by then. Also, I'm not sure how my mom would feel about me missing my college graduation for a Barth event...Although I'd like it!
