I have done two 30 plus day trips in the last three years in a Class A towing a Jeep.
California to Tennessee during the month of June.
California to Georgia during the month of December.
I use the RV Parky app and Good Sam. Although I did make prior reservations for each stop, there was no shortage of open spots at rv parks across the states we traveled through.
As mentioned before, staying inside National Parks will require some pre planning.
Travel day consists of 300-350 miles per day. 5-6 hours each day depending on traffic, weather, etc. Some days may be shorter or longer, depending on where your next stop may be.
I also try to get fuel at the end of each day to limit stops along the way or combine potty, food, fuel in one stop.
Most parks can be seen in one full day but will of course depend on what you want to see and do.
Also, don’t forget to add some days in for grocery shopping, etc. We find that we need fresh vegetables about every 3-4 days.
Another thing to consider is Harvest Host. A fair amount of options to stay at Wineries, Farms, Breweries, etc. all for a yearly membership.
Also check into the National Park Pass. One fee $80, gets you into any National Park. Crater Lake for example, costs $30 to get in.
Good luck and have fun. It will be a great trip.
