If you are new to RVing and haven't taken you trailer out yet, I wouldn't advise a 2 month first outing. You should take it out for a weekend to familiarize yourself with it first.

Yes, Agree that the shake down trips are invaluable! We just went to a state park for a weekend. There were many trips to wallyworld and other stores for things forgotten or unforeseen. Some folks just hookup and spend the night in there driveway.

While planning we use RV Park reviews to check on our selected RV Parks and campgrounds before reserving.Dave

I use RVParkReviews along with MS Streets & Trips. If we are only one night in a certain area then I may use KOA directory or the state park online directories as I find them.

Take that TT out a couple of times and see what you will want to drive in a normal day on the road. Add the time for hitching up and setting up in the afternoon. We have been RVing since '69 and have gone from Atlanta to N. Detroit with a 35'MH and toad in one day and another time took 5 days for the same trip. The 1 day was only because of a SIL killed in a motorcycle accident. Leisure travel is easier.
