I don't think you are going to be able to get too far South, enjoy some warmth and get again during a week long trip. The other issue is you want to go were everyone else wants to go at the same time they want to go there so finding somewhere to stay could be challenging. That really applies to Spring break warm spots.
As to the RV, it really all about the floor plan. Find something you think you love, spend a few hours in it thr way you think you would live in it, drive it a reasonable distance to see if you like it and can handle it. No need to go diesel with your limited travel plans but if you find one you love, that's even better.
Thank you for your input...a few things:
1. I'm going to respectfully disagree with you on the week travelling thing. For one thing, the week is actually 9 days when you count the weekends before and after the week. I can be to the northern areas of Georgia and Alabama in 10 hours, which is basically one day, when I leave I would leave the Friday night before and be able to shave 3-4 hours off that easily, so Saturday would be a 6-7 hour drive, which is totally doable. This would be Thanksgiving week, which late November in those areas would be fine, and much nicer than NW Ohio.
Late December Christmas is going to be Northern Florida (probably around the Kennedy Space Center) and roughly 16 hours, but keep in mind that's a 2 week break, so 4 days travel or so leaves 10 days of relaxation.
As for spring break, my district's sprink break is usually in early April, it's not the spring break most people think of being in early/mid March. Additionally, being early-April means not having to go as far south, and less travel time on what will be a 9 day break again.
I keep going back and forth between diesel and gas, but I agree, in the end I don't think it matters. Now, when we are full time travellers it certainly might be.
Thanks again!!
