Yep. That's it. The only thing that I'm not sure about there is fuel. Gas is no problem but I'm not sure about diesel fuel right there. I'll have to ask. Fairmont is my home town. Well as close to home as there is as far as towns go.

I would like to meet up as close to my starting point as possible. I should be able to get there with two fill up stops. I think I can cover around 400 miles on both tanks and my total ride will be just under 1,000 miles.
I am not so lucky, I am only running the rear tank with about 13 usable gallons. I am usually stopping every 100 miles or so for kids or to not push it and run out of fuel.

Maybe I could setup a stinger and I could pull up along side you to refuel your rig like a KC135
this year I will have my co pilot back so we looked at the total drive and the 75 retail circle it a good meeting point for us. the last thing is to figure out a time. I am willing to leave when ever I need to.
did you have a time in mind rob?

I can be pretty flexible Elijah. I could probably be there anytime between 9:00am and 2pm. Maybe we can see what the others are doing and start narrowing it down from there. Since you are coming the longest way, you may have the biggest influence on the meeting time.
Hahaha, if the fuel is free I would sure be up for that lolMaybe I could setup a stinger and I could pull up along side you to refuel your rig like a KC135
I need to fix my other tank, I will definitely maybe have that done in time. I can also put my 45 gallon bed tank back in. Trouble is I still can't fix the kid tanks.
I will have to look to see if I could join up. I know the wifey signed us up but we might be making this a 2 day trip.

I was thinking of meeting around 10:00am or 11:00am. that means I would leave my house around 1:00am. we can meet latter in the day but I would like to get to the campground before dark.
what distance can you get with the ranger?

Just for a data point, you are going to be right at 2:15 to that spot from the 81/70 junction. There is a truck stop on 79 between Morgantown and Fairmont at the Goshen Road Exit. I think it's a Pilot. I won't weigh in on a meeting time because I have no clue at this point. We might even stay overnight out at my folks place the day before just so I can go over the truck after the bulk of the torture test (assuming it's actually road worthy by then). [emoji20]

I can get 500 miles out of the veggie tank in the bed. I'm bringing several extra jerry cans tho, so I'll probably just top off when we meet up. That should get me there no problem.

I have not chimed in yet on this either. I really need to get the details squared away. I know it will only be me and the kids. Erica will be in Alaska on (most likely) the last cruise her dad will be on. (I was supposed to be with them, but the Commonwealth of PA has seen to it I cannot go out of the country) Anyway...The plan is the truck and pop up. A lot needs to happen on the truck though - e brake, horn, turn signals, a/c (would be nice) oh and fix the no / hard start, new windshield, hook up gauges....

Maybe Chris, Matt and I can meet up with you guys there. Elijah, are you coming down 81 through Harrisburg, PA? We live just east of there right off 81. If you gave us a ring we could always meet you on the on ramp or something.
I think so, il map it out and let yall know. we should all exchange our numbers so we can get in contact with each other when the time comes.
