I would suggest this as a rule of thumb about caravaning.
ONLY choose to caravan IF you are willing to give up near total control over where and how long you stay, what you see and in what order you see it, drive at the same speeds and like the leader, Dont ever want to take that road off to the right to the viewpoint that isnt on the itinerary, waste much more time getting organized, getting fuel, eating etc etc, and maybe most importantly if you are alright with traveling day in and day out for a long time with some people that you may truly dislike or find exceedingly irritating. Then the caravan may be a good fit for you.
Otherwise go ALONE. It's easy, it's rewarding, you cant get lost and everything you might need is available.
PS. Get a Milepost its ALL you really need.
