Well for starters Columbia river rv in Troutdale,OR is full hookup on the Sandy river close to the gorge and Portland. From there I would opt for either Tumalo or LaPine state parks. Lots of things to see and do. Next would be Diamond Lake resort. Close to Crater Lake. Then maybe Valley of the Rogue state park. Historic Jacksonville is a worth while ghost town. From there north to Grants Pass and down to the coast on 199 I think it is. Dont forget Oregon Caves N.M. you come out on the coast right at the Redwoods.
From Portland area Mt St. Helens is a nice day trip. Same for the gorge.
As an alternative you can head farther north on I5 and cut over to the coast just south of Eugene to Reedsport. Winchester bay RV is right on the bay with great views and a chance to visit the Oregon Dunes. South on US101 there are lots of places to see and do. Any of the Oregon state parks will be greal, but you will want reservations.
PM me if you want more information
