    I am looking for advise and suggestions for Arizona campgrounds for the summer for my family. My thought is to take a 10 day road trip through northern AZ in the summer with our travel trailer. Hit three or four or five sites, and stay a day or two at each.

     

    My goals are great fishing, pretty scenery, and most important, seeing some AZ sites (small kid accessible, no hiking). Full hookups would be nice, but not a priority. Something with reservations would be comforting.

     

    Any suggestions?

     

    Thank you!

    They say the License Plate Readers (LPR's) are suppose to check for stolen plates / vehicles. Many police agencies have been using the technology for years, installed on patrol cars. They are putting up LPR's in Paradise Valley at a few locations along the road.

    I choose a 2014 GMC 2500HD because....

    1) I liked the idea of having the tried and true Duramax engine / transmission combo.

    2) the engine compartment was very crammed on the Ford, completely jammed packed. I like to service my own vehicles, and the GMC is much more open.

    3). I liked the GMC body style better. It has changed for 2015.

    4). Sounds funny, but the interior of the ford seemed too big for me.

    5). There are tons of fords on the road (I say this as a complement to the ford truck), but I liked the idea of being different.

    6) ford and Dodge seem to always have commercials saying they have the most HP or most towing capacity, but the GM is close, and I don't plan to tow a 30,000 lbs backhoe, lol. I pull a 12,000 lbs trailer as fast as I want with little effort.

     

     

    The only down side of the GMC truck so far is the visible DEF tank on the passengers side, but it is hidden behind OEM side step bars. Has tons of power, and haven't had any issues. DEF isn't that big of a deal. For 2014, the DEF fill up is under the hood, the ford has it next to the diesel fill up. The GM dealer told me the GM DEF fill up was under the hood to help protect it from accidentally getting the wrong fluid, but that's probably a sales pitch.

     

    Good luck, Bob

    Mine has the wheel kit, and also I added an hour meter (only 30 hours on it).

     

     

    Thx, Bob
