Headed home.  We'll cross the border in about 5 days or so.  I'll do a better write up then but after about 60 days in the camper we've really had no issues.  This is in a 2001 Eagle.  

 

The only issue was that our high end fantastic fan w/ the rain sensor would sense "rain" in the humid beach areas at night and shut the vent.  Figuring out how to turn if off isn't obvious using the remote and there's no switch on the fan.  I can't remember what button you hold down but I think it's the bottom, left.  Hold for 3 seconds or so.

 

We've not had an extreme temps really and only used the furnace twice.  Typical condensation a few nights overall.  

 

I have my Eagle on a 2015 Ram Ecodiesel with HD springs and airbags, E rated 20" tires and had no issues w/ fuel, handling, roads, etc.  Some roads are still pretty bad in places (we were off the main road 75 miles at one point and I'm sure some small VW's were down in those potholes).

Ditto! Glad the trip went well and that the Eagle performed. Can't wait to see your route and hear the highs and lows!
