Dolbsss,
Of the kids and from my experience, the 5yo will soak up everything and drive you all crazy about what she saw for years, and the 2yo, will still soak up a lot, but will not have the vocabulary to tell you about it for another year and an half.

sorry, I have a Jayco Flight SLX284bhsw pulled by a 2500 HD. I took it over Newfound Gap last year and on many sections of the Blue Ridge pkwy. My trailer skills are pretty good because I own a landscape company and drive trailers daily. Very comfortable on routes that don't have 9% grades, lol.
Also, we do crazy trips every year so this won't be the last...hopefully these 2 are less city dwellers than myself in a few years.
I almost hate to tell you this, but the kids will go nuts in the truck cab after just a few hours. If you can set it up to arrive at/near a destination for the overnight. In the morning, do/see whatever and then travel when the kids are worn out. This plan served us well for many years, even before we RVed.
We have now used this plan with the grands and it still works, but then we now travel by MH so kinder have more elbow room and can even play table games underway.
Enjoy it while you can. They will gone all too soon.
