RE: Roadtrip by car vs RV, a couple of thoughts...
My side business requires a lot of short-term quick travel, so I still do a lot of driving and flying. Both options, plus the RV have their time and place for us.
Funny that I come across this thread after making the final decisions/reservations following about a month of penciling out a 5500-mile , 25 day round-trip jaunt this summer.
Flying would have actually been the fastest and cheapest, except Dexter the corgi needs to go with me (going to Ohio for a big competition). He is a bit too big to go in the cabin (the others are smaller and can/could), and there are only very narrow circumstances under which I'm OK with putting him in cargo. Direct flights on Alaska Airlines only, and only when temps are below 75F and above 50F. We couldn't get that to happen, so no flight.
I could have made far better time taking just the minivan and hoteling it, but because of the outrageous rates at the on-site hotel and pricey options along the way, taking the TT is just about a wash, even with the 10mpg towing vs 25mpg in my minivan. I have my own bed, everything is clean to my standards, and I like the food better! We will take a couple of layover days and explore a few regions that have made our short-list to move to after retiring, so it's a multipurpose trip.

RE: New Working LGDs
Sorry to hear about Duke's diagnosis. Glad you were able to develop a plan quickly.
As for not having dogs on HW preventative, where we live it's quite common. I have to specifically ask for a HW test every year at the vet. All of our jokes about it being a dry heat aside, it is very dry and not really much risk of HW. My dogs are on a preventative because we travel with them, and going more than 50-ish miles from home can put us into a climate where the risk is present. If they were homebodies I wouldn't do it.

Central CA to Cincinnati?
The trip is planned for June. 25ft TT pulled by 2017 Tundra5.7
Time is somewhat of the essence, but not at the expense of safety or excessive stress on the road.
I'm thinking I-40 then 44 up through MO, and across on 70/74. We haven't towed east of Flagstaff on I40 before. Am I missing something I should know about?
