I am planning to retire in the very near future. My wife already is retired. We are discussing taking a cross country trip in the next year or so but are somewhat wondering if it is a good idea. We currently have a 35' Flagstaff 831FLSS that we tow with a 2500HD GMC. That is not a problem. While we realize that there are much larger rigs out there, ae there any issues with finding suitable campgrounds along the way that we can fit it in? We would be starting from our home in Central Virginia.
Thanks in advance.
1. download an Application like "Good Sam RV Park" or something similar to help you search for RV Parks.
2. Make reservations well in advance for RV Parks all along your planned cross country trip. This is especially true in popular areas/parks. "Reservations" do not restrict your freedom to make changes in your plans, just call and cancel. Make sure you know the cancel policy when you make your reservations.
3. Make sure you have the Good Sam Road Side Assistance plan in case you break down. I also have the GS Sam Travel Assist plan. There are other RS plans from different companies. Do your research.
4. Do a complete mechanical up and if your trailer tires are 6 years old, replace them with new ones.
