I'm going to take a ride out there, not next weekend (going camping) but the next.
I'll take pics and report what I see so check back.
The road being paved is fine with me. Easier on the RV and trailer. Less dust in the air filter. Easier on the shocks and steering parts. As expensive as trucks and trailers are, anything we can do to extend the life...
Be back in 2 weeks with a road report.
