So we bought a new Ford Focus last fall as it is light enough to tow behind our small motor home. Last week we had everything mounted and wired so we could join the two together. As you can see in the picture, the car doesn't look that much smaller than the 23' motor home.
We decided that the appropriate test drive would be to pull away from home at 6:00 pm on Tuesday and drag it all the way to Bryce Canyon NP in Utah by Thursday night. Better yet, we decided to take highway 70 out of Denver, and that means pulling it over the Rockies including Loveland pass and Vale pass, with 6-7% grades both up and down. We ended the drive on scenic highway 12 in Utah which also has two 10,000 foot summits and more hairpin curves than you can count.
Other than the fact that the car is absolutely filthy, everything went great. Hardly know the car is back there unless we are going uphill.
