Welcome to the forum! and enjoy your new RV. Sounds like a great plan.
When you are in NC, if you have leave sometime, you should try the RV park for military members right by the ocean at Camp LeJeune.
We drove down there to visit for a couple of hours once while a friend (civilian employee in Beaufort, SC) was doing a few days of training at LeJeune. They got a site and stayed there rather than stay in some motel.
It's a fantastic location. Climb a wooden stairway across the dune and there's the Atlantic Ocean.
Just Google Camp Lejeune RV Campground for more details if you are interested. From the site: "Our RV park has 37 RV sites and 6 Tent Sites with full hook-up. (Water/Electric/Sewage/Laundry Facilities/Cable Hookups)
