Advice for a trip up the west coast
Fellow Class A'ers, My wife and I have an RV trip planned that will take us from Las Vegas, NV to Newport,Or and back in the course of about 7 1/2 days. We've looked at a variety of different route...

prepilot…..We do a similar trip every other year, except from Los Angeles. Not to burst your bubble, but you're wasting your time. The routes you're talking about will have you driving in the coach, more than camping. Driving a major highway in an RV, most can average 50-55mph. Driving the coast in either California or Oregon, you'll average about 35-45 mph and it will be exhausting.....lots of on and off the throttle and turns.
If you really want to do this trip, bonzai via the shortest route from Reno, via I-5 to northern Oregon and then come back south, crossing back to the I-5 at the California/Oregon border.
I'm not being fecitiuos, but with your schedule, you'll have just enough time to park in a campsite, eat dinner and prep for travel the next day. The trip you're talking about is at least a 14-21 day trip if you want to sight see and enjoy yourself.
Bubble not bursted. This is exactly the kind of information I was looking for so thank you. Yeah, we'd LOVE to spend more time doing this, but our schedule just won't allow it. We enjoy the ride in the RV and I enjoy driving the RV so I think for this trip we'll just have to make note of where we want to stop next time. :) Thanks!
