New to RV'ing, many questions

I'm coming in to this conversation a little late, but I just wanted to add this. When I was a kid in the 70s, we took 2 week camping trips every summer. At first with a station wagon and trailer, then a 30 ft motorhome. We started out in northwest Ohio, and a few times went up thru Michigan, across Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota, Montana, Idaho and eastern Washington then back thru Idaho, Wyoming, South Dakota, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, and back to Ohio. I remember having a great time. My parents didn't seem exhausted. They were probably in their late 30s early 40s. Dad woke us up at 7 am and we stopped about dinner time. Wonderful memories. My Dad researched free things to do and places to camp, and planned his route. True, things are a lot different now than back then...but don't think it can't be done.
