Cross country road trip towing.
Just trying to get some info on a trip we plan to take in May & June.
Brief synopsis of my plans. Leaving Ca. heading to Iowa for a family visit for a week. Then heading east thru Indiana, Ohio, Gettysburg then maybe on to NYC for the 9/11 memorial, and also Ellis Island.
My main focus of this trip is the east coast.
Then south to Philadelphia, Baltimore, DC, Norfolk area then back west to Arkansas for a visit and then home.
I don't need info on anything west of the Mississippi river. The last time I was back east was 1990 driving a car. That was basically to Gettysburg and DC.
I will be towing a 27 ft. travel trailer. I plan on about 50 days give or take.
I'm going to do 3 or 4 posts to cover a few of states in each post.I need some info on Indiana, Ohio, and Pennsylvania here.
First off stopping in Indiana just to go to the IMS race track again.
1. Need a recommendation for a campground in the area. 2 nights max.
2. Then on to Dayton to visit the Air Force museum. Campground recommendation around Dayton. 2 nights.
Then east to Gettysburg area.The question here is I want to avoid the Pennsylvania turnpike if I can for cost reasons, etc. I was thinking of taking I-79 south to I-68 east to Hagerstown then on to Gettysburg.
Any thoughts about this route?
3.Thoughts on campgrounds around Gettysburg. Probably 3 nights.
Philadelphia and NYC are 50/50 whether I will make them a stop.
4.In case I do, recommendations for a campground in the Philly area.
I'll stop here and hope to get some good reponses to my questions.
Thanks in advance.
