Using our TT to move cross-country.

I agree with those that suggested you try out the TT at a campground before you head out. Not sure exactly where in AL you are, but since you mentioned CG I would assume near Mobile. Lots of campgrounds in the area, including several on military bases. check the MIlitary campground website for Keesler AFB and a navy site near Gulfport. You may want to use this website to find places to stay en-route. You can likely stay at the bases in California a lot cheaper than commercial parks. I have generally found AF FAMCAMPS to be very nice and a place that I was comfortable letting the kids ride bikes, play at the playground and burn off some energy. Not saying you have to stay at bases all the trip, but that option will save your travel dollars and allow you to take advantage of one of the benefits so many who serve aren't aware of.
