One problem you may run into is it is illegal in some places to transport firewood because of the insects that come along with it. I am always remodeling something so I take 2x4's and other scrap lumber. That way you don't have to worry about the firewood problem. It's also cleaner and stacks better. Just find somewhere where they are framing a house and the guys will give you more than you'll need. Don't get treated lumber or anything with paint on it. It can put off toxic fumes. If you put it in plastic tubs, you could store it inside the RV when traveling to get the weight over the axles.
Might be good for kindling and starting a fire and some quick burning ambiance, but i personally would not want to use any pine for say marshmallow, hot dog, burgers or any other food items.. Just way to much pine sap for good flavor.. Nothing like a pine smoke flavored hot dog :S
Personally unless they are charging a mint and you are burning a cord of wood while camping buying the wood at the campgrounds may be the best idea..
I personally take a small plastic storage bin with a lid(1' wide x 2' long x 1' tall) of split maple chunks. I only take the INSIDE splits (no bark) and that will last me a week of camping.. I build small campfires (not roaring bonfires that folks seem to love) and also use a couple little splits to add extra smoke to charcoal while grilling. The small bin goes in the back of my pickup truck but could he hauled in the trailer.
