I would have stopped but it was day light and I could see. We had reservations at a CG. While the traffic was at times bad most of the time it was slow enough to maintain good control and nobody did anything stupid.
I knew it was going to rain. The forecast said so and I did the Rain X. Boy was I glad. The wipers were good. They were going full bore for most of the trip. The passenger one needs to be smaller. She does not need to see as much as I do so it's getting replaced with one the same size as the drivers. There does now seem to be a lag in the two wipers I'll check it out later this week. By lag I mean that when the wipers return the passenger side moves first then the driver side catches up. There's something getting loose.
We will be here until Friday and I'm sure the rain will be gone.

After this last 485 mile trip in rain and snow I can't say enough good about my Meridian. My DW, from the deep south, did much white knuckling during the drive on I-5 past Mt Shasta. We were in heavy, stick to the road, slush in a heavy snow fall. The wipers worked well and even when the occasional hot-dogging trucker passed is with a blinding back spray, the wipers recovered quickly. The overall handling under these very adverse conditions was great, to be honest. The TruCenter really made a big difference in the cross wind we encountered. The Freightliner end of this rig is great.
When we were at our last location I adapted 2 30A outlets to make a fake 50A service. The coach power system were happy. We only tripped one breaker once with a overload. Simple learning curve experience.
Yes. I am a happy Winnebago product owner.
Happy trails,
