We spent 24 days traveling just over 5,500 miles, visited 7 states (Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Maine) and 4 Canadian provinces (New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland & Labrador and Prince Edward Island).

Our 2008 550 Ultra #266 proved to be its usual comfortable self towed easily by our 2013 4-door Tacoma.

We visited some incredibly beautiful places and met some very good people all along the way.

It sounds like to moved each day. How did that go?

We moved more than we would have liked. The distance from home to the Maritimes (and back) ate up over a week, but the fact that we had to cut things short and come home sooner than originally planned had us moving quicker than we like to see the places on our 'agenda'. Normally we visit a place and take the attitude 'if we dont get there this time we'll see it next time we get back'. But we really didn't want to wait for next time...

Well, I'm going to give it my best shot once we get back home. I'd love to know what feature failed on your friends rack - maybe it'll help MY case
I'm looking at new racks that hold the bikes up vs having them hang. If that type of rack can fit my 'between the car & trailer' set up I think I'll go that route.
I'll post the Yakima outcome here when I know.

OK, after many weeks the good people at Yakima decided to pay for the damages caused by their rack failure. It took a follow-up call by me but it got done. The camper is up in Necedah now being made beautiful again.
Yakima staff was straightforward about what they needed throughout the process and, aside from the total time to resolution, handled the issue very well... :)
 
I put it on my list. :-) We've already been thinking about a trip to Maine so it would be a nice addition.
