Weigh stations
(Preview)
OK, this might be a stupid question but.... If weigh stations are open on the highway, do we have to pull in to be weighed or is this just for 18 wheelers? Also, if it says to pull over for propane checks, I assume we do not have to correct? We are in a Diesel Pusher... Thanks for the advice.

For the full timers?
(Preview)
When you started out, how long did it take you to slow down and stay somewhere a week or so? When we start, hopefully next spring we want to head to AK. I thinking this would be more of a vacation like trip than wondering through the woods approach. Just curious.

So, I think we sold the last boat we built, BrooksBoatworks . It was a 12 hr drive from eastern NC to Stuart Fl, none stop with 2 drivers, clean and prep the boat for a seatrial (perpective owners with a backgound check completed).
