We took a beautiful back road through the mountains of NH into Maine. Passing through Maine, we overnighted in a nice little campground just west of Bangor. It had all the elements of a good overnight: full hookups, cable, and a good Verizon signal. We also got what's called a "pull-through" campsite which allowed us to just pull in and leave the Saturn attached to the rear of the Liberty. A "back-in" campsite requires you to unhook the car, so this was very convenient. And the presence of a small restaurant on the premises meant that we didn't even have to cook.
Knight's Notes - The Liberty's V-10 Triton handled the Catskills and the White Mountains well. Not the fastest going up with the Saturn in tow but the Tow-Haul transmission selection provided a lot of control while descending with minimal braking. A little unnerving when the rpm's climb over 4000 but overall I was pleased and relaxed/confident driving....One side note: Whoever is responsible for the maintenance of I-86 in New York needs a beat down! Roughest interstate road I have ever been on.
Pressure Pro is gone...returned for a refund. Great idea but just too many problems. The final straw was when I discovered that one of the monitors was leaking, slowly deflating a tire on the Saturn. The company was decent about everything and responded promptly by forwarding replacement parts along our route of travel. (Thanks to Matt and Trish for receiving them).
