Apologies for the long delay in replying to my own thread. We had some relatives with problems and we may have to postpone our trip. At least one family. However the wealth of information that we gathered from this community is incredible and is super helpful to avoid many first timers' errors that we would have certainly fallen into!
For the moment we cannot determine dates any longer but we are still eager to try the American RV experience...
We are still interested in advice and in building up our check list!
