RE: Brake Buddy "Stealth " toad brake
I just worry about pulleys and cables and screws in the firewall. Screws can pop out on a lot of pressure, cables can kink and the brake pedal not retreat. If I was going with that kind of system, I might use the Air Force One since it does not have to rely on brute pressure on the brake pedal. It keeps vacuum pressure up on the towed. We use the regular ole Brake Buddy (proportional braking) and it has worked fine thus far. It is a PIA when you arrive and have to find a place to set it when you use the towed

RE: Atlanta to Chattanooga
Enjoy the fact that it is 3 lanes and you will not be bottled up in traffic as trucks (and there will be a lot of them!) are required to stay in the two right lanes.

RE: Out west trip questions
Harley-dave is right about Sturgis. While the prices on Custer SP will not go up, there will be no sites available either. Other sites in the area for several miles around will go up in price considerably. Unless you want to specifically be in or around the Black Hills during the Rally, it might be a good idea to route yourself to another part of the country after then (or perhaps early, but things get busy as early as a couple of weeks prior to the Rally) The Hills are much prettier in the spring before the prairies dry out later in the summer - for whatever it might be worth to you.

RE: How Far Can We Go?
If you enjoy that kind of stuff, then go for it. I do wonder with all the variables on the road how accurate it is. If you want to get really 'accurate' it would be interesting to see a meter that gives an accurate reading of the amount of flow from the tank in real time and a cumulative amount of fuel used from the time of fill up. Then you could have a better idea of the running mpg and adjust your drive for maximum benefit.
Or you could fill up when you get between 1/2 and 1/4 tank like so many of us who can hardly spell spread sheet.

RE: Commerce, Ga. Campground
Also a state park relatively close called Victoria Bryant SP near Franklin Springs and not far from I-85. Beautiful sites, wide, concrete on some and paved roads. No sewer, but nice dump station

RE: I-20 east
I travel that way often. Be careful about 6 or 8 miles in SC as you cross the river from Augusta. SC trooper like to set in the median looking for violators - not that any of us RV types would be speeding ;)

RE: One mans opinion on how to prevent another Atlanta
Like I told someone in another part of this forum - We in the South seldom get snow, sorta like a BCS championship up north.

"...Except for the fact that people in Chicago, Philadelphia or St. Louis don't panic and shut down the whole city when they get 3 inches of snow. "
Except we seldom get snow in the South. Kinda like winning the BCS up north.

RE: Atlanta
Noon will be bad today. Folks have been sitting on I-75 for hours and hours with nothing moving. Stay away from Atlanta if at all possible.

RE: Stuck on I20 EB 14 hours, still sitting.
Atlanta is in the same shape - basically locked down tight. Less than an inch of snow when they turned all the schools out in the metro area and businesses followed suit. Interstates, including 285, just stopped with thousands just sitting. Friend of mine in metro (originally from Baton Rouge) suggested that Kasim Reed, mayor, is a graduate of the Ray Nagil school of emergency preparedness. What a mess

RE: Just some plain advise
Put the total amount the entire package will cost in the bank. When something breaks, then it is paid for. It is likely nothing major will happen after the first year and the coach is covered with the warranty (usually) then anyway. You will have money in the bank when this is all over with. These sales guys can make it sound like it is going to fall apart on you. I asked a sales guy on an auto why I needed something like this. He went into a long story of all the things that could go. When I said I was going to re-think the entire purchase if this thing was that unreliable. His whole attitude flipped back to what a quality product they have. ;)

RE: custer state park
Stockade North can handle big rigs and has 50 AMP. No dump or sewer on that side of the mountain, but you can dump at the truck stop in the town of Custer if you buy fuel there.
There is a great little restaurant at the Wagon Wheel CG just west of Stockade Lake toward town of Custer. Great meals and omelets are outstanding. Right beside French Creek where Custer camped and discovered gold during the Black Hills expedition about a year before his mishap at the Little Big Horn.

Can't recall the name, but the town of Harden has a good sized CG there with FHU. Nothing spectacular, but adequate for a few days visit

Meadows of Dan in Virginia has a great CG with full hookups within a stone's throw of the parkway. Oddly enough the name is Meadows of Dan Campground.

RE: how to open a can without can opener
Suggest a piece of tape on the P-38. The tape will likely come off after laying in a paddy for a couple of hours however - but who could eat after laying in those things anyway?
