We are all over the place on length of stays. We are very active folks, and RV for the travelling and exploring reasons, not just following the weather. We like to have lots to see and do, not the types to sit outside our RV each day because in a warm area, need to have things of interest to see and do, and get bored pretty quickly. So ......
Generally mid size attraction areas = 3 to 5 nights absolute max. First time to Vegas 10 days as plenty to explore, now we stop for 3 nights max enroute heading home. Lake Havasu for fishing 4 to 6 nights heading south and same again heading back North, meets hubby's need. LA week, NYC Liberty Harbour 3 to 4 nights cram packed exhausting days to get a flavour of the Big Apple, if not as expensive as it is for a dumpsite type RV location, would love to stay for a couple weeks to truly explore slower and savour more of NYC.
When we become FT in a couple of years, I can see our first winter season changing this all up somewhat. A week in some locations and a few days in others, and probably by our third or fourth year FTing I can see us spending a week or two max in many return attraction areas, likely where hubby can fish and I can kayak and walk. We diaries every trip since we started RVing back in the 90's and have stringent notes on areas we'd love to go back and spend longer in, so we can see it all changing with longer stays the longer we are out on the road.
