Darlene you look like a pro. Did you drive the other coach any? My wife would drive the 96 a little but will not even try the 04. Trying to figure how to get her to at least slide under the wheel for me to stretch. How was the drive compare to the old coach?

[backseatdriver]

Yes, I did drive the '90 a little. Only 200 miles under my belt on the '02. It drives about the same to me, so Jean shouldn't have any trouble with it. I'm still a novice though, but I didn't have any trouble. The only thing different to me is the length of this one compared to the old one. Since both of your coaches were the same length it should be a no-brainer. I can't say that I say, "Oooo let me drive!" like Tom does, but I don't mind taking a turn so that he can rest a little.

My wife used to drive all of our motorhomes until the day I blew an almost new front tire doing 70 on I-10. When she saw what I had to do to control the Country Coach, she would never drive again. Something to think about.

Tom, you now have the correct mindset........there's no turning back now.

Hey Clarke by the time we head up to Canada he will be telling us to slow down!

If we leave Spearfish on June 29th we have 5 days, and I think it's under 900 miles isn't it? June 29th, June 30th, plus July 1st, 2nd and 3rd.......should be a comfortable 180 miles a day.....just my speed.

[folivier]

Yes Clarke, Tom's still got learnin' to do. Throw away your watch and just worry about when it's Sunday.
Remember Clarke has a clock that shows the days of the week instead of the time.

All you need to know once in a while is what day it is, otherwise you just need to look at the sun to know generally what time it is. Watches and clocks are highly overrated.
