Hi everyone! We finally found ourselves a brand new 30 foot RV to rent ONE WAY from Chicago to Florida, (I was afraid to rent a used one because I am very...umm...particular). I have been reading your forum and others until my eyes bleed but feel like a direct question to you wonderfully kind people would help me greatly.
Are you renting a
motor home or
travel trailer?
Just take enough food for about 5 days. That will fit nicely in your fridge/freezer and feed your family everyday if you choose to cook in the RV. Then stop at Walmart for anything else you find you will need as you are traveling.
Regarding your route. Google maps most likely will have you taking the route thru Chattanooga. My personal advice would be to avoid Chattanooga at all costs if you are not familiar with driving an RV and/or steep grades.
I am a seasoned Rv'er and I take a different route to Florida just to avoid that steep grade. I think it's a 7% grade straight down!! Others from California will chime in and say to you that it is not steep and go for it. "I" found it to be a problem to avoid! :W
Have a safe trip RV'ing and have fun! :C
