Vail to Gateway to Paonia loop
Since we still have the B190 we decided to go see some of the state. Left Vail Friday morning and drove to the Gateway Canyon Resort on Hwy 141 we did 500+ miles in 2 days and the van was flawless, really has us reconsidering the sale
camped overnight behind the resort in a sweet little valley
The scenery was spectacular
Lived in Colorado most of my life and had not been here before
Outside of Norwood
McClure Pass
Outside Marble
Sent by magic, I mean come on really, pictures through thin air, MAGIC!!!

I forgot that you removed the side skirts. She looks really clean!
I had thought about doing that to mine as well, but worried that the propane tank would be hanging pretty low.
How does it look from that side?

Re: Vail to Gateway to Paonia loop
really can't see how the skirt would protect the propane and as far as the looks are concerned the unit does not seem out of place or stick out like a sore thumb. I cleaned it up, masked it off and gave it a fresh coat of black paint, that seemed to help make it fade into the background.Tucsonan wrote:I forgot that you removed the side skirts.

Re: Vail to Gateway to Paonia loop
Yeah, I should have been more clear. I was referring to how it looks.
I did poke my head under and it looked like the tank brackets could be adjusted and there might be an inch or two of room to raise it up. I'd have to double check to be sure, but it's on my To-Do list.
