TRIAL TRIP

We planned a two-week RV trip from Las Vegas to Iowa, though Yellowstone, Mt Rushmore, the Badlands and Minnesota. The original purpose of the trip was to deliver the RV to Tom’s dad in Iowa so that they could use it for the summer. Up until this time, we had driven the RV by ourselves exactly four hours. Two trips to Searchlight, an hour South of Las Vegas. So, at Tom’s dad’s suggestion, we decided to try a shakedown trip. And we are so glad we did! We booked a night at a KOA in Cedar City Utah, about four hours north of Las Vegas.
The actual travel went well, aside from getting used to the sheer size of this vehicle which I don’t think there is any getting used to. Not only is it long, but it’s also wide, seeming to take up the entire lane. It’s difficult to know where you are in the lane when it seems you are taking up two. We did some trial cooking, showers, etc and made even more lists of things we needed.
