RE: Iowa to Mesa,AZ- I40 or the "southern route" with 5th wheel
Yeah you have to watch the weather and decide. Heck it might be in the 50s that week.
We made some trips through Oklahoma on 40, but other times we had to take 20 to 10 through Texas. The weather forecast made the decision for us.
As far as mountain driving, 40 has some, no doubt. Not much on 10, save for a short stretch west of El Paso. You could handle 40.

RE: WFCO WF-8955 amps in absorption mode
Here I found it.
Posted By: Snowman9000 on 11/24/14 01:52pm
Oh, "since my WFCO is 55 amps", turns out to mean nothing in real life. I hooked my WFCO 55 direct with 2' cables to my half-discharged batteries as a test. It did 43 amps for about 3 seconds, was in the 20's in under a minute, and upper teens within a handful of minutes. The WFCO can only supply 55A at volts in the low 13s. So it will supply it for 12v operation, but not for battery charging. The output falls drastically at battery charging voltages. There is an output curve graph in the owners manual.

RE: WFCO WF-8955 amps in absorption mode
A few years ago I did a test using super short cables, and posted it here. I’ll see if I can find it. My recollection is that the charger was still lousy.

RE: UP with hookups
Woodland Park CG on Lake Superior in Grand Marais has W/E and dump station. It’s adjacent to town. Easy walk to the Lake Superior Brewing Company pub and restaurant. Good pizza!

RE: Moving from 5th Wheel to Sprinter based Class C
We are looking into "downsizing" from our 31 foot 5th wheel / 2500HD diesel set up to a Sprinter based class "C" with a flat towed vehicle. Are there any out there that have made this transition? Wondering about your experience. It is a lot to think about (licensing, insurance, swapping truck for a towed vehicle, towbar/braking solutions, etc.). It sounds like weight will be a bigger factor that current set up because of the limited cargo carrying capacity of these motorhomes?
We did this, to a 25’ gas C. The fiver is better when you’re camped. The C is better when you’re on the road or moving a lot. Honestly I see that as the biggest decision point.
