Are we Nuts? Travel cross country in 7 days?

Hi, what do you think about some virgin RVers taking their 2 boys (ages 5/11) from central Florida to Arizona within 6 days? ....all within 6 days?

Sorry for our ignorance but we have never traveled cross country or anywhere, really, we have flown everywhere we have needed to go in the past, but I have a yearning to RV and thought this would be a good start to decide if RVing is for us.

I am very picky. I don't like bad smells (worried about renting an RV that is clean enough), I don't like loud areas to sleep in (I need quiet). We do travel extensively, about 6-8 times a year, but I'm very picky about the hotels.
Could this be the worst mistake ever?

You said you are picky, have never done a cross country trip, are "virgin" RVers, and most importantly you want to decide if Rving is for you.

You don't like bad smells.

IMHO, this is a disaster looking for a place to happen. If I wanted to completely alienate someone about RVing I would do the trip you have planned. You are not Rving but rather driving and driving while dragging your hotel room with you.

Would this be a mistake? Yes, most without a doubt,a mistake.
