RE: CA 199 from Crescent City, CA to Grants Pass, OR
We have done it in our 36' Dolphin the opposite way from Grants Pass down to Crescent city but end of next week we will do it the way you are describing. No it is not as much fun in the motorhome as on my motorcycle or in my little BMW but it is very do able without remodeling the seats with crinkle marks from tightening sphincters! :B
BTW we don't have the time on the way up but if you do I would continue up 101, we will come home that way the end of June. Need to get up to Portland after I do some work in Livermore next week for the birth of our first grandchild due May 20! :B :B

RE: How hot is it really in the summer. Arizona/New Mexico
The good news is that virtually all boondocking areas will be vacant and there will be plenty of open sites in RV parks.
ha and that is probably because no one is stupid enough to do be there in the summers.
Ah but it is a dry heat unlike VA where the humidity is higher than the temp!:E LOL
Seriously though when I lived in the desert during the we figured it was going to be a good day if it had dropped to double digits before dawn! 95-99 overnight is not uncommon!
To my smart aleck comment above once it passes 100 it is just plain hot dry or not!

RE: Sac to Santa barbara
Why not pick up US101 in the Bay Area?
GM gives similar times and distances for that, for crossing on 41/46, or going over the Grapevine.
This would be my choice I hate the 5 through the valley and use 99 if I have to go that way.
Matter of fact we will be at the TT in SB tomorrow and leave for Livermore on Sunday up the 101! :B

RE: Dingy towing a rear wheel drive vehicle??
Remco also lists the 6 speed manual as trailer only, as well as BMW's instructions for a tow truck, no wheels on the ground, flatbed or dolly wheels.

RE: The new Xantrex SW3012 claims 10ms switching...
The issue with sensing shore power is a function of the transfer switch, which in your case prioritizes the gen feed.

RE: DW won't drive
Cheryl learned to drive big stuff when we bought our ski boat almost 30 years ago. She decided she would rather drive the truck and trailer than put the boat on and off the trailer.
We found an empty dept store parking lot and for a couple hours she drove around the lot and used the loading dock to practice launching. One unique thing about launching boats is the break over at the top of the ramp where the boat goes down but truck is still level so the trailer disappears for a short bit, especially with a low-profile ski boat on it.
She is perfectly happy riding in the motorhome while I drive but she has driven, even in construction zones with the narrow lanes, and she can drive anything we have owned including the boat. Because you never know what might happen and we used to 4x4 out into the badlands so if I got hurt she needed to be able to get the rig back out to civilization!

Didn't hear about the RV's burning. We are in the middle of town so we are good so far.

RE: Dolphin Class A
We have an 06b we bought new in 07 and have 30K on it and still love it and are hard pressed to find anything we would try to replace it with.

RE: Dingy towing a rear wheel drive vehicle??
On the BMW a 5 speed manual is towable a 6 speed is not! Don't know what they changed but the newer gearbox is not approved.
We tow a 323i convertible 1999 on a dolly face forward. Purposely got a 99 because of the gear box issue.
For mine the front is way to low to load on backwards.

Agree with Dwight, someplace new was a nice change but Canyon is good too.
