Sounds like a great trip. I think almost every "long" trip I've taken I've had some sort of problem. But even then, I can't wait to get back up on the horse for the next trip!
Well Brian,
That is just not a given.
In 2014, we went to the internationals in both Montgomery, TX and Chippewa Falls, WI. This would be less surprising, but we went to Texas by way of the Natchez Trace and returned through by a different route. Chippewa Falls was a stop on the way back from Yellowstone and places north. Those together added up to just a little less than 12K miles. We did have to make a repair during all this, one of the draw guides broke and had to be glued back together.
The year did require 10 bogie greasings (should have been more), 3 front lube jobs and 2 oil changes. You just can't skip the required maintenance.
