Been sleeping but awake. I can do up to what ever you want to haul. It might take some time.

I second that...

I went and got the rm 2014 since it is always spoke of so highly. Great info in the front, but I wasn't so impressed with the maps. The maps that spill over two pages have a gap in them, about an inch for the large coil binding and then 1/2 inch on each page for the border. I returned mine.
For those looking to pick one up, flying j has them for 29.99. Amazon has them for 45 plus shipping. Go figure. -
I would of thought Amazon would have been cheaper

No idea. They generally start to come in around spring I think. They were going to stop making them, but they came back by popular demand. If you already have the Large print 2013 map you probably don't need a new one this year. There aren't going to be many changes if any.

Some companies buy um in bulk and offer great discounts. I got my last one through TMC and it was like 10 or 15 bucks.

Saw the 2014 large--at the TA in Edinburg last week--so Im guessin they're out--
As for the OP--IMHO--IF you are NEW at this--I would recommend the REGULAR laminated Road Carriers ATLAS--I really do not like the way RM has split up the states to create the LARGER version=--for those of us who have been out here awhile--and ONLY use our Mapbook as a reference it is fine and Easier to read--but--it can be HARD to follow some of the roads in certain areas the way they break the pages--S. Cal and NE/SE Tx come to mind--but there are many others
just my $.02
