I use rvparkreviews to determine where I will stay overnight.
We stick to 420 miles per day or less.
We figure out where we might need to get fuel and scope out the stops. This is because we have a Class A towing a car and we want to be sure we can easily get in and out without backing up.
I use Google maps to get an aerial view of the RV parks and the fuel stops to see how I will get in and out.
I call the RV park to see if there are any suggestions on how to get in and out of the park and site recommendations.
I look at the chart of overhead clearances to make sure there are no issues. When traveling, we use a combination of a GPS and a truckers atlas.
If it is a longer trip with many stops, we put each start and stop point n Excel with the distances, RV park and fuel stop information.
I know this sounds like a lot, but we are into detailed planning for each trip. We find it makes the trip much easier with less surprises and it does not take much time.
