RE: Yosemite Trip Questions
Fortunately, my brake problems surfacec during a March trip. As a result I had new calipers installed all the way round. I figured I wanted everything in good working order when driving in mountains.
Yosemite ranks at the top of our list of trips.

RE: Yosemite Trip Questions
Follow up for others benefit. Absolutely Great Trip to Yosemite. We travel up from Anaheim after doing Disney and rented a car (Jamie at Enterprise was great) in Oakhurts like Pauldub recommended. Great recommendation. The other option was Fresno but it was a farther distance from Yosemite.
We entered the park at Wanona.
Since we had the car we returned it and travel back through Bakersville. However, we took the car over Tioga and it was beautiful. I could have driven it in the RV over Tioga but good to do it first in the car.
Tenaya lake was absolutely gorgeous and a must see. Weather was mid 70's to 80's during the day and 50's during the night. Weather made for great camping and sleeping. Not a drop of rain during our stay.
If you've never done Yosemite, YOU NEED TO!!!!!!!!!!!

Yosemite Trip Questions
Hi All,
I couldn't get a site in the valley for Mid June so I reserved a sites at Yosemite Pines. Questions:
1) Do most who don't have a toad drive their RV to the Yosemite when camping outside the park?
2) Is it adequate space for a 31 foot RV to visit the Merced and do float with tubes and do general siteseeing?
Also, upon leaving we are headed to Lake Powell. Mapquest suggest 2 routes. One is going West through the park and the other one involves driving Southward to Bakersfiled and then Eastward. For those familiar with that area
3)which route would you take? The Bakersfield route takes about an hour longer but doesn't look to have grades.

RE: Really struggling
Thanks for the feedback everyone. I knew I wouold get the input I needed.
I'm probably just gonna leave the toad and yaks at the house. Float the Meced with our tubes and rent boat and kayak at Lake Powell.
Vacations are meant to be relaxing and not spent worrying about your load.

RE: Really struggling
Yes, $40 per day. My trip is 2 weeks and that would be an expensive option.
My Acadia is 4,500 lbs; however, my Camry was 3,000 lbs. I had no trouble towing my Camry (including a trip to Yellowstone) but I'm wondering if the additional weight of my Acadia will result in poor gas milage/performance.

Really struggling
Howdy,
Headed on a trip to Yosemite and Lake Powell and would like to tow a vehicle with our kayaks on top. Problem is I don't have a car dolly anymore. I got rid of my tow vehicle a couple of years back and sold my car dolly. Now I have a tow vehicle and would like to tow it with us.
I've checked Craig's List but nothing suitable.
I really want to have a car since I'm staying outside the valley at Yosemite and would like to kayak in around Lake Powell. There are kayak rental places but I'll spend $100 on a single day of kayak rentals.
I have 2006 Jayco Greyhawk and will be towing a 2011 GMC Acadia.
Perhaps there are options I haven't considered.
