We thought the same thing when we picked ours up at the factory in May. That 30 below last winter really did a number on the roads. 31 going south out of Elkhard, which we have taken several times, was terrible.

Glad to hear that. It was a MESS in May, worst I have ever seen it and there were construction crews everywhere. Nice to know when we go back up that it is back in shape.

We found I-65 a more than ample of a test for the riding comfort of our new coach. It was bad ! Swenster had warned me about it a week before. We almost went over to I-75 to avoid I-65, then someone that was at Entegra said it was just as bad.

Overall I found the roads to be not all that bad. I drove a number of coaches for road tests over the last two weeks while in the Elkhart area and didn't find anything too extreme. I think you guys are spoiled. 
Indiana did have a rough winter last year, which explains why their roads are beat up more than usual but if you want to experience that on a full-time basis just come on up to Wisconsin with your coaches. We have potholes you could drop an ISX engine block into.

I was being gracious. You might be more accurate.

I-70 around & east of Richmond will swallow you whole in places. The right lane near the berm is a killer.

There is great need for a sarcasm font.

Mark, I came across Wi. To Door Co. from Minnesota and at least on that trip I didn't run across anything that compared to I-65 or 69. Once I got South of Louisville Ky. Into Tn. the roads were very good.

Probably came through on hwy 29, one of the good ones. When I got back from our March Texas trip I had to slalom through our town due to everything dug up from busted water mains. The patch jobs they made are a testament to how quick they did those repairs. Glad I got a Jeep.
