So I’m a little fuzzy on your plans. You’re going to drive to one of the stops, do some sighting seeing, and eventually stop for the night where? At a campground? Big box store parking lot? Other? Do you plan on having electricity when you stop? Plug into an outlet? Generator? Other? Planning on having water for showers? etc? Need a dump station to empty tanks?
Are you going to need heat. Air conditioning? A microwave? Are you cooking meals or eating out? Do you know how big a RV stove is? Does it have an oven?
How many suitcases you planning on taking per person? Is there enough storage?
Five in a Class C is going to be pretty cozy, but doable for a week. You’ll have about 1 to 1-1/2 days at each stop for sightseeing, eating, showering, etc. Is that enough time for you?
Offhand, I think the learning curve on Rving in a class C has the potential to bite you in the butt big time. You don’t know what you don’t know. You may need to get some experienced person that knows about travel in a Class C to sit down with you for a few hours and put a real plan together. There are some really big potential pot holes in your road.
I agree, there are big pot holes.....
First of all, thank you for your time and response.
I would like to do sight seeing and end up at proper campground and have electricity, water and dump.
I don't think I will need AC but I might need heat in early March.
We will be cooking light meals and or picking up food to go occasionally.
Yes, 5 people are going to be tight, but the kids are 9, 11 and 13 and we all add up to max 600 lbs.
we travel light. It will be 5 carry on bags or 2 big one.
our other plan fell a part so, I have to scramble in to a new trip. I have not book any RV yet but will be looking in to around 30ft ish.
