ZION-MT CARMEL TUNNEL PRE-CHECK for RV - ZION NATIONAL PARK - Are We Too Tall? 2024 Summer Ep3

Quick Jeep run to pre-check the Zion-Mount Carmel Tunnel BEFORE we take the motorcoach thru it later in the week. A quick visit to the Zion NP Visitor's Center, then we head out in the Jeep. Once we were up on top, we try a Jeep trail just outside the park. Then it was time to head back down the "hill".
Every year we take our 2004 Bluebird Wanderlodge M380 motorhome on an all-summer excursion to escape the brutal heat of Texas and the Desert Southwest. Besides the big rig motorcoach Ride-Along's between our campground locations, you’ll also find fun & sometimes challenging off-road tours in our well equipped 2021 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon and sometimes hiking adventures. ALL with “in that moment” live commentary and NO added music.

Another nice video Van. Can’t get enough of the Zion scenery.

Thanks! The contrast between upper and lower Zion is amazing.

Beautiful area, although we generally avoid it in the middle of the summer as it's too hot for us 😲
We've driven RV's through the Mt. Carmel tunnel about 10 times over the past 30+ years of RV'ing with 3 different coaches. A 30' gasser, 38' DP and about 6 times with our current 40' coach. Never an issue although they make us disconnect our Jeep. 🤔 Which makes no sense as it is so much smaller and goes where the coach does. 😉. They told me it's because of the switchbacks, but those switchbacks are not that tight, much less than say Teton Pass which we've done with the Jeep connected.
Still a pretty and scenic drive.

@@zmotorsports62 Next vid will be coach ride-along thru the Tunnel, on our way North. On that move I felt much better having done the dry-run shown in this video. We too had to disconnect our “little” Jeep. Loved our Watchman CG, though the 30a service was a challenge with the warm low elevation Summer temps.
