Re: towing to US nationals from Phila PA area
The answer is a Dodge pickup with Cummins Turbo Diesel power. Out west, our flat lands are often higher than the peaks of eastern mountains. My twin turbocharged Cummins (2004 Dodge) maintains the speed limit (75) on cruise control pulling 5000-6000 pounds up to 7000 ft. elevation.

Have one of those but does not sleep 5 comfortably. Cost of fuel for the dodge to pull trailer round trip is $500. I think wheeling tunnel is open, so we should be okay Thanks for info on route to avoid steep grades |

Re: towing to US nationals from Phila PA area
Stop by Cabelas and the Wheeling Island Casino on your way through. My state needs the extra money. It will give the tow vehicle a chance to cool down anyway!

(Coming from the east)..... Take 70 west straight thru center of Indy Halfway thru, Get off to the right on Interstate 65 north (to chicago) Then go about 5 miles on 65 and get off on the 38th street exit. Take 38th street about 2-3 miles (turns into dandy trail after you see airport on right). Turn right on Crawfordsville Road (at stoplite) Track will be about three miles down road on left

Re: towing to US nationals from Phila PA area
Get there Early. The attendance #'s are down this year so it might not be as bad, but everyone comes directly from Bowling green to Indy so by Sunday night the line is a LONG one.
