My family purchased a blank USA map with the different color state stickers. The wife and kids are excited about filling in the map. I know it is ultimately up to us but what rules are you guys using when placing a sticker. I think you have to go site seeing (or stay more than just the night) within the state in order to place the sticker. My wife thinks that if we stay overnight in a state on the way to our destination, we get to place a sticker.What "rules" do you guys follow?

Its whatever rule YOU decide. Some people place a sticker if they simply traveled through the state, some if they stayed overnight, and some only if that state was a "destination", not simply an overnight stop.We don't have a map yet, so we haven't discussed protocol yet!

The rules are whatever you want. Some count an overnight stay, others count or taking the RV to, or through, the state. Others have their own rules.Chose what works best for you. The important thing is, enjoy your travels.Nothing is etched in stone. :)

The wife is always right in my house, and allowed me to drive the big truck.

We don't have one, but my parents did. I don't think there is any set rule. It's really, whatever is meaning for you.Some put the state on when they simply drive into it, or seeing an attraction in the state, saying they've been there and that's all. Others attach the state when they've spent a night. It's really your decision and what is meaningful to you.

Some show the state's they passed thru..... all the way to you have to live there.You make your own rule.
