Our families 8 week RV Trip

Sound like our families have some things in common - our ages, our kids ages, a turbo Wrangler behind a 38' DP, etc...

Every summer we do a 3-4 week trip, and I do plan a few long days like the ones you're describing; my kids a hard core road trippers - started when they were infants so they've never know any different. But all that being said, your trip plan gives me serious pause.

If you can get away with redoing your plan, maybe you could split it up into 2 trips - 1 this summer and 1 next summer.

I highly recommend Moab, the various parks in Utah, and the Ouary, CO / Silverton, CO area.

If you're interest, here's a couple of my past trip reports to those areas:
2011 Roadtrip
2012 Roadtrip
2013 Roadtrip

The Wrangler isn't what's turbo'd. I have a Grand Cherokee SRT8 that's roughly 1600hp. I drag race it. Although, developing a turbo kit for my Wrangler for sale isn't out of the question. I'm buying the Wrangler this week.

Well everyone..... wow, so much good advice on here from everyone. Hard to really take it all in. We will probably make some changes before and during the trip. I think for now, we will just go with our original trip for the most part and let us learn a lesson. This is our first trip and we have many more planned. Time to get our feet wet and learn from it. I'm sure our next trip will be better. With my work sched. it's no biggie for me to get summers off. My wife being a teacher, gets the summers off anyways. It's not like this trip is going to suck. Besides, it let's us know where to really hang out the next trip. We can say we went here and there but now we will know where to really go. With only 3 weeks until we leave, I fear it's too late to really get planning done right. Again, I should have posted on this site much much sooner. I have turned a buddy on to this site who just bought his coach last week. Time to man up and see the country.
