Yup have family about 5 min from the Mall. Only visited once in late July never again. August and September in Michigan too no thanks. Which is why everyone goes north or south during that time.

Most people avoid those areas when the conditions are like that. Lol

My dad is looking at selling his house in 2 yrs, renting a inlaw flat from a friend as his permanent residence but spending 3-6 months a yr staying in various locations visiting close friends etc. We basically have it narrowed down to 21-22ft trailers rear side entry, entry closet, rear bath and...

That works till the weather gets crappy then your awnings get stowed so they don’t get destroyed or you don’t set them up due to time and not feeling like dealing with it. Last few big trips I’ve done you find that often times private RV resorts are a good alternative option and not having...

So the small 6ft wide tear drops are typically less than 1500lbs empty and aren’t very draggy. My experience was the tear drop has less of an impact on the pavement experience than the lift and bigger tires and draggy roof stuff beyond the nakid roof box. They are there but not much of a factor...

New car sales will have nice factory incentives higher end toys for the most part are owned by people that can probably weather a month or two of rough times they’ll just wait it out and sell later or won’t need to sell. The RV thing there will be screaming deals give it was way over produced...

I rented two different styles It sounds like your 4runner has larger tires and the typical big chunky roof rack? Or is it stock with a box on the roof? The reason I ask is the lifted or up sized chunky tires and chunky roof racks tend to be a much bigger hit to highway performance than the...

I would rent a small 16ft toy hauler also and explore how that works with your typical trip.

Some thoughts first do you see your self in one spot for a few days recreating the local area? Or simply parked over night then moving on to a new location? The only vehicle that has secured space for sports gear and flexible sleeping options are vans. Pickup campers severely lack space unless...

Cold and winds are the big negatives for sure.

Highway speeds are pretty boring your basically along for the ride and hanging on so you don’t fall off lol. You discover that birds, tire debri, rocks, bugs and road grooves take on a whole different meaning in life. Ha ha My highway commuter long custom Johnson Leathers jacket weighs 28lbs. It...

GHI Most riders are self taught till they arent. 4 of the 12 that washed out of my class were self taught long time riders. The London Lawyer who taught the course once a month while here for work was a former pro racer track guy and total hard ass. When I was done and on the road I had a very...

This is the same way I feel after lots of miles on the 650. I did a couple of longer trips and my 650 was a lazy boy that easily cruised at 90+ for hours. I didn’t find that part enjoyable a slower less comfortable bike nope. But getting up the trails a light bike would be great. The old Yamaha...

Even 150 mile pavement day on a 650cc commuter isn’t that fun. I’d take a day riding trails on a light trail bike or an over night out or two away from the base camp over doing pavement miles On anything smaller than a 650. And yes I see zero point in bashing a truck etc through those places...

Take a class I’m serious it makes a big difference. Its worth every penny. I took a tough class 1/2 of the 24 were flunked out by day 2 on 250’s. I went right to yr around daily 65 mile commuting after that. 65,000 miles on 2wheels between 2003 and 2009. The small KTM seems to have a good combo...

No but I have a 1986 sailboat in salt water. It still sails just fine. Pretty sure a 1986 Ford Motor home is not the most reliable transportation. ?
