Advice for a cross country trip
Pulling 31' trailer. Never pulled it more than a couple of hundred miles from home. Thinking of a trip from Knoxville TN to Yosemite Park in CA. No generator so no A/C if not plugged in :(. Has slides...

If you travel at 60-65mph you will average 50mph for the day with stops for fuel and rest stops. This translates into about 300 miles for a 6 hour day which is just about the right amount in my opinion. This is what we usually plan for while travelling.
Also, the idea to stay an extra day every third day or so is excellent. You will find, after a couple of 3 day stints that you need that rest to re-group yourself and your rig.
As far as making reservations, you have received some good advice on that. We usually make them when around busy areas or during long weekends or holidays. We usually try to be in a campground on a Thursday for a weekend and stay until Monday morning.
The above is all possible if you have no definite time schedule and do not have to limit your vacation time. If you are limited on time then you would have to modify it quite a bit.
Good luck in your travels. Sounds like you will have it pretty well figured out.:)
