Tell me if I'm crazy?

You are crazy!......hey you said to do it

clicky

In general these rigs are expected to spend most of the time at full hook-up campsites.

Not a lot of info on the website about batteries/solar/generator etc. but the FR website says 4 house batteries and a 2000 watt invereter. I expect it has a 6kw genset. So the answer is yes, you are okay for a few days at a national park with no hookups. 50 gallons of fresh water space will make it tight unless you take Navy showers.

If that's a residential fridge ( runs only on 120 VAC ), you'll need to leave the inverter running all the time. When on the road, the engine should charge the batteries. Dry camping, you'll be sucking down the batteries. If you limit your dry camping t a couple of days, you should be fine.

Be aware that some areas of the Four Corners, Durango in particular, most RV parks and campgrounds do not open until May. NW New Mexico and Cortez, Co, including outside Mesa Verde National Park, have year round RV parks. (I do not think the NP campground in Mesa Verde is open for the season yet.) Be sure to check before you head into an area that might not be able to accommodate your RV.

Thanks for the replies!

The Class A is a 35' (http://www.rvnorthwest.com/Vehicle-Rental/400-2017%2035'%20Forest%20River%20Georgetown%20(34-G).aspx)

Is there any chance I will be able to park at a campground in a National Park or will I have to stay in RV parks?

I've camped on BLM land in the past. Do you think it's realistic to drive out on BLM land and camp with this RV?

Also don't forget to watch the Robin Williams movie RV :B

Arm yourself with a few tools.

• RVParky app. This shows you where every campground is in your area or a particular location.
• Gas Buddy - same for gas stations. I use this in conjunction with Google Earth to see if I can fit into the station
• Western Mountain Guide. Points out steep grades and places you have no business going.
• Waze. Other Wazers make cop, traffic and stalled vehicle reports
• RVParkReviews.com. See what other campers are saying about a campground before you book it.

You don't mention the size and weight on the Class A... are you away that many - if not most - states require a special drivers license if the coach is over a certain gross vehicle weight rating? Other than that, Rvparky.com, rvparkreviews.com, allstays.com.
