If you have never "RV'd" before, to take on this kind of trip with an older rig, I'd try staying in it AT HOME over a weekend and see how it goes first..
That's just to make sure you know how all the systems work.. Do you know how all the systems work?? Like how long you can go on a tank of fresh water, how much you can put down the toilet/sink? How the fridge works, how the hot water heater works, all without being hooked up to 120v power??
Your batteries will only last so long.. Even driving will charge the house batteries, sure... But they only have so many of hours of power..
Anyway, good luck! Been doing this RV thing for some time, and it takes some time to learn all the "tricks"..
