My '87 K75C performed flawlessly from Ottawa to Vancouver and back in 2014 -- 11,000 km all in. Riding alone, I had planned to camp whenever possible using the $39 tent for two lashed to my tail bracket. The tent also kept the dry bag holding my sleeping bag, ground sheet, inflatable mattress and pillow from drooping over the tail light. See photo. In the event, I did not use the camping gear even once. After a long run you need a mom and pop motel near a place that dispenses food and cold draught beer. Wifi, shower, and maybe TV are also desirable. Time spent setting up and taking down is better spent on the road. Also, campgrounds are not usually free and might require a reservation. Henceforth, the camping gear stays at home. One caution, it's hard to find accommodation near a family attraction (ex. within 200 miles of Glacier Park in summer).
After Sioux Ste. Marie, heading west, I stayed on US 2 (originally Portland Maine to Portland Oregon) until cutting into BC after Glacier Park. Great road. I slabbed homeward across I-80 most of the way. Nearly froze crossing Wyoming.
The K75 gave not a hint of trouble going or coming. Next trip, without camping equipment to unload, and load will be even better.
