I use www.mapquest.com and or www.googlemaps.com
Then, I locate my stops based on your miles per day.
Look up campgrounds on www.woodalls.com and pick a couple with the amenities I'm looking for near the stop. (sort results by distance). You can also search for amenities like pet friendly.
Look up those 2 on www.rvparkreviews.com to make final choice.
Once I get the address, I program the Rand McNally GPS. Once you program the GPS you should double check the route. I use the Rand McNally Walmart Atlas. Get a new one every year. Well worth it. It lists all the Walmarts and whether they have fuel (Murphy USA). I do not trust the GPS solely. Make sure the GPS is set for fastest route, not shortest route. Shortest route will usually take you on back roads. Fastest will take you on interstate or US hwys.
I detest Interstates so I always select shortest and limit them on my preferences. Just my choice, I like to see the world, not a concrete ribbon. To each his own.
