Where are you going from Atlanta?

I'm running in front of the storm now crossing Nebraska at 80mph.

From Atlanta probably back to Memphis for the night then on to NW Arkansas on Saturday.

Ya, dunno where you are now but see my post above. I24 to Nashville probably better to take 840 bypass around to I40 then I40 to Memphis.
Flying J has motorhome parking in front west Memphis. Or TA truck stop 20 miles into Arkansas off I40 is where I sleep heading to TX

Yes , those winds up there are brutal! Last time through I say 2 overturned trucks and 3 overturned RVs. 1 of the RVs was brand new, still had paper temporary tag from dealer.

Assuming the alignment is good n the bus, you’ll be good. The two biggest things about driving a bus are

1). No real sense of speed because you cannot hear the engine. Use cruise control to keep from drawing too much attraction from da man.

2). Since you sit in front of the steer axle, you start to turn after your butt has entered the intersection. This will take some getting used to unless you’ve ever driven an old VW microbus.

If it is on a Freightliner chassis, I strongly recommend going to “Camp Freightliner” at their Gaffney, SC facility. They do a great job of teaching you everything you need to know to maintain your rig.

Drive safe. I’ll be arriving home in SC with my new toyhauler on Sunday when those storms come through here ...

I live about 10 min off I40 just a few miles west where 840 hits 40. Your welcome to stay here if you want. Your camper will probably fit I'm my shop. I also have a 30amp hookup. I am west of Nashville .

75 N to hwy. 140 W to 27N at Summerville take left to Mentone Ala. and continue to Scottsboro hit Hwy. 72 to Memphis. Shortest and fastest route from North of Atlanta. Not near as much truck traffic

Hey I’m looking at gps routes and knowing a bad line of storms is coming across the Midwest tomorrow night / Saturday does anyone live on the route from Atlanta to Memphis through Birmingham or Nashville? I’m up for suggestions here. I definitely don’t want to get stuck on the highway in some crazy storm and blow the camper over or get massive hail damage. @JACKAL you travel a lot what’s your suggestions?

I’m just off of exit 205 on interstate 59 in Collinsville, AL. Got an empty hay barn +\- 120’ x 45. Got some cow poop under it though you’d be welcome to use.

Almost home! I appreciate the offer. I made it to Memphis last night before the bad storms stopped me.
