Just started to plan our first 3 weeks RV trip from LA to Seattle, with two young children (3.5, 1) and two adults.
we were advised to keep to coastal areas.
is this time table seems reasonable? is it suitable for young children?
love to hear some advise!!!
In my opinion based on many trips in the areas you plan on going:
1. It will take 3 days each way of travel if you go straight up I-5 unless you want to drive 10 hr. days to make it in 2 days.:(
2. From L.A. I would drive up 1-5 to the town of Williams. Then take hwy. 20 across to Hwy 101. Then take 101 all the way up the coast of Oregon and Washington for your coastal portion of the trip. Take 101 to I-5 to Seattle. Then 1-5 back to L.A. Save most of your vacation days for the coast and Seattle.
3. I would save the Calif. coast trip for a seperate trip, i.e. Santa Barbara to San Francisco since it is so close to L.A. Just my opinion:) enjoy your trip. If you want more specific information on the Oregon coast, email me privately. If you plan on RVing in state Parks in Oregon and Washington I would recommend you make your reservations as soon as possible.
