Rethinking 2 week visit out West
My DH and I planned to visit RMNP and then on to the National parks in Southern Utah then on to the Grand Canyon. Ok now we think that is way too much for a 2 week trip!! We dont want to spend our who...

A friend of mine is on going west right now- He certainly is doing alot of driving - staying one or two nights somewhere then driving again. He has had a couple of non-show stopper breakdowns but it had to be fixed so thats another worry to deal with.
What I have seen some folks do is fly out to Phoenix or some big place like that - Then rent a MH and do the tour that way. Of course the big downside for me would be I don't get to have my personal toys...
Renting is probably cheaper than the 2500 miles trip and the hassle that goes along with it.
Two weeks might get us to Oklahoma haha...
Another way I have some folks do is to swap your MH. Folks can fly out and head out for a weeks trip with your stocked up MH. You do the same on their end with their stocked up MH...
I made a whole bunch of trips from VA to Wichita Falls TX doing extended work the last year before retiring. The work job might be two weeks sometimes three weeks. We would drive the weekends getting there almost non-stop driving. Got to go camping at various places over the work weekends and then take a long way back home to VA... That worked out pretty good for us..
It was funny a couple of times - always went the same route going and out of habit seems like we made the same pit stops along the way. Folks started making comments like "Hey glad to see you all again haha..." I guess you don't see many off-road trailers like mine... One hotel would let us sleep in the back of their parking lot which also had 120VAC utility back there for the handyman. That was nice...
Two weeks sure isnt alot of time. We sometimes stay that long at a real nice spot enjoying ourselves...
