RE: Sheridan Wy to horseshoe bend campground near Lovell Wy
14 is doable - just has a lot of switchbacks mainly on the east side of the Bighorns. I have not tried 14A but there are warning signs about steep and narrow road ahead at the 14/14A junction.
16 is not that much further south and is a better road for towing over the Bighorns if you have doubts about 14.

RE: Montana "hi-line"
It appears that you are taking an adventure route to Bozeman, for which I'd do the same as Montana is a great place to visit along with the Dakotas. A place to visit is Fort Lincoln near the MT/ND border which is a very historic fur trading post near where the Yellowstone River joins the Missouri. Lots of history there and it's well presented, another place to visit is Fort Benton and of course the Big Springs area very close to Great Falls. Have a good trip, people in Montana are nice to know and meet.
If you get to Great Falls, don't miss the C. M. Russell museum if you like Western art - it's a great stop for a few hours. Lots of Lewis and Clark history along the Missouri river all the way across the state.

RE: portland to reno advice
Scenic route is US 20 towards Burns, then either US 395 S to Reno. Eastern OR desert route stay on US 20 to Burns, then OR 78 to US 95 down to Winnemucca, then I80 to Reno.
I would probably do US 395.

RE: Winter on Highway 93 South - Twin Falls, ID to Wells, NV
It's a good two-lane highway with some hills and high desert features. The biggest issue, as you mentioned, is the weather - if it starts to snow and blow, you will want to go slow or pull over and wait for it to clear.

RE: Anybody still tow with an old GM?
^Unicorn truck. Nice!
Thanks - I really like the color combination on your squarebody - I wish they would come up with a good two-tone combo on new GM trucks.

RE: Anybody still tow with an old GM?
I had been searching a couple summers ago for a low mileage LBZ and I finally found this one - 76,000 miles and just a few scratches that I could find.

I don't tow our 5er with it, but it tows ATVs and the boat well.

RE: Anderson 3220 setup
I have a 2017 RAM 3500 short bed SRW with the Andersen hitch.
I use the middle hole on the ball.
My adapter is back - meaning the 5th wheel trailer is closer to the cab than the tail gate. I was thinking on reversing it but have not done so yet. Have not measured the clearance to the cab.
Bed rail clearance is 9 inches.
My setup is the same as Flashman, and when I tried to reverse the adapter, the back of my pin box hit the tailgate when turning, so the adapter stays back. I have not had any issues with clearance.

RE: DEF Math
I think the DEF gauge on the RAM HD trucks (4th Gen) is similar to the waste tank indicators on RVs - there are sensors at preset levels and the level is approximate. Hopefully they are more reliable than the RV waste tank sensors though.
