Drove to Buffalo, NY from Great Falls, Va. Sunday, Dec. 22 for a Monday pick up of my 2010 #171 from Colton RV. The trip was an uneventful 8 hours. Colton did a good job of giving me a tutorial on the 171, and installed the wiring harness for the trailer brakes in my truck (2004 Toyota Tacoma). Left Buffalo about 3:00 PM Monday and rolled into Great Falls at 1:00 AM Tuesday. I got lucky with the weather window and did not get into any nasty winter stuff. The 171 traveled well at up to 65 mph. I did have Colton put a friction bar on the tongue. Gas mileage was unimpressive at 10 mpg, and I was filling up every 150 miles. I guess that goes with hauling a ton or more of weight. For my first RVing adventure I'm looking at possibly joining the R Pod gathering Jan 17-19 in central Pennsylvania. Glad to have my R Pod and looking forward to meeting good R Pod folks this year. ------------- Frosty |

Welcome. 150 to 190 miles is about all that we can travel with the Jeep which works well for me as I get a chance to move my knee every 2 1/2 or 3 hours. Goose ------------- Mother Goose's Caboose..2011 RP171..07 Grand Cherokee
