Atlanta to Vegas

We'll be leaving (weather permitting across the country) . Looks like we'll be taking the Southern Route I 10. Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions on things to see along this route?
We'll be in a 44' RV towing a car so will be somewhat limited due to length and inability to backup due to the car.
Thanks
  • You didn't say how much time you are taking to get to Vegas.

    Pensacola Florida, Navy Museum is great to see. We stay in Navarre Beach. Lots of restaurants and things to do and see in Pensacola.

    Kerrville, TX. Texas Hill Country. Buckhorn Lake RV Resort in Kerrville is awesome. Drive over to Fredericksburg for the day. Go to Camp Verde for lunch, not far from Kerrville. Neat place with restaurant and general store.
  • I-10/I-12 La are and have been for several years now in good shape
  • Personally I would avoid I10 through Louisiana.
    Crappy road
  • Some RV Parks to consider: In Montgomery, AL we like Capital City RV Park.
    On I-12 at Livingston, LA we like Lakeside RV Park. call ahead for pull thru.
    From there you can drive to New Orleans (about an hour). There are plenty of military museums along the I-10 route. In Houston the Space Center is neat. Lots to see in San Antonio. Balmorhea State Park. The park is located 4 miles southwest of Balmorhea on State Highway 17, in Toyahvale. From I-10 westbound, take Balmorhea exit (exit #206); FM 2903 south to Balmorhea; State Highway 17 west 4 miles to the Park. Visit Fort Davis historic site and there is an observatory there.
