Getting ready to head from NJ to Yellowstone so putting in some work and $
Started by replacing the drains with some decent valves. I’m not handy BUT with the PEX it was stupid easy. Cut the old fittings off, slid on a clamp and the connector... then a quick squeeze with the crimper and DONE. ( see before and after pics).
Sanitized the fresh water
Also threw on 6 new Michelin XZEs with metal valve stems and extenders. Tomorrow I put in the TST TPMS.
Also ordered a dual hitch receiver so I can tow and Cary bikes. I’m tired and broke. But mainly broke.
So your plan it to stay the northern route?
Where are you staying in Yellowstone? I usually ise Grizzly RV Resort of the west entrance to the park.
Also if you have a chance you need to leave Yellowstone and drive thru it south to the south entrance and into the Teton NP then to Jackson Hole Wy.
If you need any advise just ask as I have travelled that route a bit.
I'm from S.NJ I have a whole itinerary for you if you like..If your going to Yellowstone, Right off I-90 is an 1880's town replica of an old SD town, KOA right across the road. Wall Drug Store.
