Where's the "Don't Worry, There's a Cummins In Front of This" sign for the back of the boat

bigger= better IMO, I am going to be living in it full time so I think I need some elbow room from myself , and more walls to hang flat screens on . the bigger ones seem more luxurious and washer and dryer hook ups.

I think that unit may be to looong to pull Going to the sun road. Check the lengths allowed.

Yeah you don't want to take a trailer up there...very steep. In fact when we visited Glacier we left the trailer down in Yellowstone and stayed overnight in a hotel cause it was such a hit and run. However, there are a few spots to drop a trailer for a bit.

Shot of the truck on road, very narrow:



But the views are worth it:


Olympic Loop Washington



Washington Coast

Vehicles over 21' long are NOT ALLOWED on most of the Going to the Sun Road. There are signs before the steep and twisty parts telling you this.

Everyone has to drive that road before they die. Quite a sight.
