Yes, I agree with the post above, but here is an example of an itinerary with stops between 250 and 325 miles:
First stop after Tallahassee could be Spanish Fort, AL 255 mi and there is Meaher State Park. I have not stayed there but it has good reviews.
Second stop in the neighborhood of Lafayette, LA 262 miles. We have stayed at Bayou Wilderness RV Park, but there are several other good choices in the area.
Third stop, Tyler State Park, just a few miles off I-20, 296 miles
Fourth stop, Ole Town Cotton Gin 325 miles from Tyler SP--see my post above. You just have to get across Texas!
Fifth stop, Tucumcari, NM 245 miles. We have stayed at the Mountain Road RV Park. Of course, I would push on to Santa Fe but that would be just over 400 miles, so I put in Tucumcari.
Sixth stop. I am still recommending Santa Fe/Albuquerque which would be less than 175 from Tucumcari or 415 from Ole Town.
Flagstaff, AZ is only 310 miles from Alburquerque.
This is just one example. I enjoy trip planning. I am using a 10 year old program to plan this itinerary: The Trailer Life Campground Navigator 2010. Unfortunately, in spite of all my entreaties Trailer Life has not provided this program since the 2010 model, but I have found nothing comparable for trip planning. I use Google Maps and RV Park Reviews to get more up to date information, but The Navigator is the best resource I have for actually planning stops on a map with miles and hours per day.
