Hello everybody, I haven't been on the forum for awhile. Have been trying to fight off murphy's law for the past few months. Weather mostly, rain, snow, 60 mph winds, tree limbs + branches, ECT! Was ...

Well, I've been on freecampsites.net for the past three days, looking at all the southern states. NC, SC, TN, GA, FL, AL, MS, LA, TX, NM, AZ, AR, OK, VA. Plenty of free places to rv for two weeks at a time. Will be able to come up with a planned out route to make it to Arizona. Only problem I see is fresh water and a black water dump site, this will have to be planned out with presiece measure. Pleanty of Wal-Marts for supplies along the way.
So, I am thinking to begin with small trips this summer, with-in 150 to 200 miles from home base. Summer and fall seasons to learn what adjustments I WILL have to make for a long trip next year. There are 5 or 6 rv sites with in the mileage range above. Test my rig and myself to see what we both can handle. If gasoline goes up to much between now and then, the party will be over for a long trip.
Deciding what to take with me as far as, clothes and food, not so hard. I will be practicing backing my gear in the cabinets, and anckoring everything down. Galley is important, do not want to break my coffee pot. I better get an old style camp perkilator just in case I do. Dixie plates and bowls with plastic flatware will do. Less water on dishes, more for showers. I'm even thinking a composting commode would be better in my rv.
Dogs, are they a problem ? I've given some thought about the security of my rig and self. Are they much trouble at campsites ? I'm going to look at the local shelter soon, just not sure of the size that would be comfortable in an RV, and be loud when needed.
