XC Trip with Tent Trailer?
I am in the preliminary stages of planning a cross-country trip for my son and me for Spring 2015 (or maybe even 2016). I thought we'd get a cabover camper for our truck, but apparently Tundras aren't...

Thanks for all the info and advice! My son is six (and a half), but we wouldn't make this trip til he's probably 7.5 or even 8.5 years old. Right now he doesn't want to leave daddy for so long, but I am working on that. I would expect he could help with set up by the time we go on the trip; if not, I'm not doing my job. :B
I am thinking that an AC unit is a must because we will be in the muggy areas (Florida) in May. I was thinking that most stops would be at FHU sites, at least along the southern portion of the trip. Thoughts?
Campingken - Howdy! We live right outside LOP. And my husband has worked and still works for Placer County Counsel (going on 11 years now). We have the Alaska trip on our To-Do list, but my husband would kill me if I went without him, so that's a trip for a few years down the line. I look forward to that, and love that you brought your son with you on the journey. (Personally I like driving more than flying.)

Maria,
We are from Auburn CA. When I retired from the Placer County Sheriff's Dept. I took our youngest son on a trip from Auburn to Alaska. We drove a 4 cylinder Toyota pick up and towed a Coleman pop-up trailer. I don't recall how many miles we drove but we were gone for 6 weeks and spent every night in the tent trailer. It was a great trip that we still talk about.
