“Civilization isn’t all that attractive to me and I’ve always had a very strong affinity for unspoiled country. Plus I also have a wanderlust to explore new country. So RVing allows me to do both. I’m predominately a camper and stay in national parks and national forest campgrounds and do a lot of boondocking. But in between campgrounds there are, as you say, a lot of landmarks and things to see and we do that, too. Sometimes the trip is better than the destination.
A couple of thoughts, if you’re concerned about leaving the dogs in a room you may have the same concern in the RV if you’re in a campground. People can get testy if they have to listen to unattended dogs barking constantly. Also, that’s a pretty big MH and a lot of people using them pull a toad. Mainly because it can be awkward to maneuver something that size in tight quarters sightseeing and it’s a pain to “break camp” if they have to run errands. But I think you’re on the right track making your first trips in bite size pieces. Good luck.
