8. The Great River Road
Today, Jason and Abby recount their journeys as they travel along the Mississippi River on the Great River Road - a perfect road trip for RV travelers, with its plentiful campgrounds and relatively flat route within the stunning terrain. But first, some news - the Hershey RV show is underway, where many manufacturers will release next year's models, and some words about towing a vehicle behind your motorhome. Jason talks about how to decide between towing 4-down, on a dolly, or on a flatbed trailer, and which vehicles are best.
