Honey is having second thoughts about driving from VA to NM, ID then home with sightseeing along the way. We have a diesel truck with a self contained slide in. We don't have any time constraints and only want to drive 300 or les miles per day. Your suggestions are welcome.
Thanks,
Connie
For me this is a "NO CONTEST" We love our Coach and the DW has no problem with extended trips (90-180 days). Do to time constraints we still do both, hotel and Coach, but given the choice -- my bed - my bath - my house - I would always pick the Coach if possible.
If you are comfortable in the slide in then go for it, if worst comes to worst you could always take a few days and chill out in a Vacation area along the way (we still talk about staying in Yellowstone Lodge with the RV parked outside) just had to say we did it, smaller unit that was not really made for long periods. A couple years after we married we took the PU/Slide in on the coast to coast dash through all the Parks and sights possible - Loved it but most of the pictures had the truck mirror in them - stayed in a few hotel rooms along the way and planted the seeds for many return trips.
One of the great things about being self contained is the ability to put in a couple of long days wen there is little to see and just spending the night at Wal*Mart, then to only drive 25-50 miles between sites and CG's. Flexibility (travel days_ and familiarity (Bed and Bath) are both great reason to go for it.
If you need advice on specific sites just do a search or start a new post.
