Looking at taking a run up the New England Hwy to Inverell. Options to get there are:

• Tamworth <> Baraba <> Inverell
• Tamworth <> Bendemeer <> Inverell
• Tamworth <> Uralla <> Inverell
• Tamworth <> Glenn Innes <> Inverell.

Most of these I have travelled pre Covid on a bike but not towed a van. Does anyone in the forum know what the conditions are like to tow a 20' van on any of these, specifically ones to avoid.

Yes I know I might be a wuss but just not a fan of shaking the bejesus out of the van for the sake of a bit of scenery.

Every so often I get a notification that one of the SSD's in my Host is overheating. The odd thing is that the smart stats for the drive say all is ok, Dell Daigs agree that there is no issue with the drive overheating. It gets to the point the Host takes the drive offline.

Syslog reports the same error - it sees there is a problem.

Any suggestions where to poke next?
