We arrived home safely in Salem yesterday. It was a good trip. Two long days (7.5 hr) of driving, and three days of 2-3 hours each. We stayed an extra day and night in our Thousand Trails park in Bend Oregon before traveling the last 3 hours home. Getting a short break from the road was nice.

My wife and I have a joke between us that it isn't an RV trip until something breaks... and sure enough... We made it almost home and the driver's side wiper died, so I will be investigating that. If anyone has input, I'm happy to receive it!

I'll be washing off the road dust and grime today once it gets a little warmer.

Also, as was mentioned earlier in this thread, I was stopped several times along our journey with people asking "what is that?", "What year is that?", "How much fuel does that take?" or commenting "beautiful coach!". A gentleman at the Bend RV park saw the brand, asked what year it was, and knew that Newell was a top tier coach, asked about my engine, and then told me that his diesel pusher was only capable of 35mph in the hills and he wished he had more power. I didn't have the heart to tell him that I was doing 65-70 through the hills.
