    Good to hear you're making it down the road! You probably already know about state and federal land, here's another source that may be of help: https://freecampsites.net

        There was a method posted on this board on how to repair them. Should work to get you home if they fail.

            I'm in De moine,IA. Right now for fuel,heading out West to CA. The GS is running ok,a bit warm but I'm keeping an ear toward it and downshifting plenty.Thanks Rustybronco for welding the two places on my shifter.

              Anymore popping noise from the trailer or did tightening the coupler take care of the issue?

                Well sure, it's a Harbor freight I tightened the hitch a little more.

                  So the noise we heard wasn't from the coupler?

                          That there requires a great bit of testicular fortitude! Good to hear he's making progress.

                            It's nice to know that there are still a few crazies around. Nothing like doing something like this to stir the nuts. Good on ya for trying this with your 450.
