Double ditto. November through March is the best time to see Savannah: mild temps and no bugs, ticks, etc. In our opinion, December is the best time to see Savannah with its holiday light shows and decorations such as the parade of boats.

For summer we stay in the mountains which have more comfortable temps and fewer gnats and mosquitoes than the coasts.

I can certainly appreciate your point of view. However, that will have to wait 'till we retire. Right now, my DW is a teacher and summers is all we have. Coming from up north we welcome the heat for a couple of weeks. Besides, I don't think I could get the RV out of the back yard right now with all the snow. lol)

I spent one full day in Savannah this past January as a stopover a break on my drive to Key West. Weather was beautiful as was the whole downtown area. Lots of history as well as fun bars and restaurants. I have never been there prior to this, and it is on my list of places to return soon.

-Lexington, VA with its two universities dating to before the Civil War; Goshen Pass and Natural Bridge are nearby.

-Asheville, NC with the Biltmore mansion, arts community, local farms, whitewater rafting, and AT activities

We stayed (not in an RV) on Tybee island, which has a nice Lighthouse and museum , Fort Scriven and battery Garland- a good at least half day. Also saw Pinpoint Heritage Museum, fascinating look at the Gullah/Geechee culture- worth the trip.

We did Savanna last spring, the neighborhood area around Paula Dean's restaurant is a nice place to spend an evening (Her Rest. is a bit pricy, and food is not that good, if you message me I'll give you the low down if you want). Good Luck and Happy Camping !!
