Undoubtedly you will take a few "practice" trips with the whole crew and really get a feel for what they'll be like on a longer trip. That's when you will know what's in store for you. Everyone's thoughts on this (including mine) are all very personal and different, and by the time the BIG trip rolls arund you will have accumulated a lot of information and experience. The biggest advantage with a MH is you can make changes along the route as far as timing and expectations and it's no big deal. So, just look forward to a fun trip that suits the style of you and your family.
