Planning our first trip (Dallas, TX to La Veta, CO). After considering a lot of feedback, I’ve decided we will take it nice and slow and break up the drive into 4 days/3 nights with each drive coming in about 2:40 hrs. Perhaps coming back we will combine two days of driving for a 6:30 hr day but we’ll play it by ear. I have a few stops in mind but looking for recommendations along the route (287 to 87). Thanks.
Understanding this varies person to person, what is your ideal driving time when rv’ing? I like driving and have quite a few long (12 hr plus) continuous road trips under my belt. However, I’m new to rv’ing, pulling a travel trailer (30 feet), and quickly noticed that the drive is not the same as not towing. One benefit (I think 😆) is that I don’t speed when towing. Without I’m usually 5-10 mph over on highways. With, I’m either at or slightly below poster mph- slower if windy. So, the drives definitely feel longer. We are planning our first long trip to Colorado, about 11:30 hours on map, and wondering how to break it up. 6/6, 4/4/4 - it’s a 9-10 day trip in total - North Texas to Cañon City, Colorado in July. What’s your ideal drive time? Any tips, tricks or considerations? Thank you.

Lake Tawakoni State Park in early May is absolutely beautiful. 64 this morning. Wonderful. Last night drop to 50’s so no need for any AC, just a great weekend. Park is great with full hook ups, lots of walking trails and trails to the lake.
My truck has a 2 1/2 inch hitch receiver and I’ve been using same size shank (rated up to 20k lb) for towing my rv (under 10k GVWR). I purchased equalizer 4 point anti sway but it is a 2 inch shank. I need to use a receiver adapter and with that the shank sticks out a bit - not taking full advantage of depth of the receiver (because of the bolt hole alignment). I’m looking into whether I can use my existing 2 1/2 shank with the equalizer? Equalizer sells a 2 1/2 shank but it’s another $200 on top of an already expensive anti sway hitch. Thanks.

We are planning our first week + trip to higher elevations (hopefully cooler temps) in July/August. We are considering Angel Fire - Taos, Pendaries RV resort- Rociada, NM, Royal Gorge-Canyon City CO, or Salida RV Resort CO. Any recommendations? Thanks.
I want the dealer I purchased my rv from to just check to see what’s causing a leak from AC during rain and replace a handle on my table that was broken when I purchased in January. 8-12 weeks for parts to arrive! They must walk it from Indiana. It’s shameful
