The cool thing is there are state parks along the way that are spaced about 200 to 250 miles apart with neat things to do and see. Taking an extra day or two would make the trip more fun and we'd be there in 8 to 10 days...... retirement is tough...... beer

I already know what I wanna do with my next one. Buy a Bullnose Bronco and swap the the 4x4 over to a Mid Ford. I guess they're the same size and just need supports welded to it and you've got a nice 4x4. Sigh... I gotta win the lottery... smile

A club brother of mind had a pretty stellar idea for groups that dont want to drive so far (Or not drive their vans that far). you could contact vehicle transporters and ask if they could do a group price. like say they can carry 4 vans at once, would they cut a deal if they are all picked up and dropped off at the same location, and them brought back after the nats. then either those 4 van owners carpool to the nats in a fuel efficient car or even fly in and fly out... may save money and make it where people that are limited on time they can take off work.

I am in the same boat. I am in Maryland too and will need to trailer our van. Are you renting one? And if so, who rents them in Maryland, I am in Harford county..
Thanks!

I have a trailer. There are private ones for rent. You can use one from U-Haul (unless it is an extended van) but you have to tell them its a Honda Accord or something. As soon as you say van....they say no.
