Key observations:

• First time driving through mountains while towing the Ranger (not too bad!)

• First time driving in cold and on ice

• In general, Rest Stops are nicer to stay overnight than Walmart parking lots

• Fuel economy drops significantly beyond 55MPH

• Don't always trust Google Maps to not get you stuck somewhere where you can't turn around

Issues encountered:

• Forgot to remove water filter under sink, cold weather caused it to crack which I didn't catch until spring when I flooded the cabinet under the sink

• Took a wrong turn near the end of the trip and got the Motorhome and stuck at the end of a road on a hill blocking a driveway at night

• Awning bracket on one side fell off when rolling up awning due to water leakage causing wood to rot out in wall

Notes:

• First 1/3rd of the trip was with some friends co-driving from Texas to Colorado for snowboarding

• Left RV in Colorado for 3 nights while snowboarding, this is where the filter froze because I wasn't staying in the RV and keeping it warm

• The trip from Colorado to Washington after snowboarding was just me
