With a large percentage of this trip in the highway, I have debated whether to take the truck & camper or the gf's Honda Pilot. My concern with taking her SUV, is finding available hotel rooms over the Thanksgiving holiday. The cost of gas/hotels/food is kind of a wash. With the camper, we're never without a place to stay. I'm still going back & forth between which vehicle to take.
It's going to be a tight schedule from DV to Brookings, OR. Hopefully the weather works with us and my Dad's wife doesn't burn the turkey.
I'll update from the road when possible.
