Florida to California trip help

Like you, we too are 60-somethings and rented a 40' Fleetwood Revolution diesel pusher for a California trip over this past Christmas. We did a lot of planning for the trip as it was during our vacation times - we are both instructors. We found that breaking the trip up into about 600-mile per day segments helped us to plan better for each day's travels and routing. We had a time limit to get there for Christmas but you won't need need to be quite so aggressive! I would have preferred to break the trip up into 400-mile segments per day as a maximum. Much less stressful on the road - particularly in winter driving conditions. We used the Good Sam Club member features to assist with trip planning, and we stayed at KOA campgrounds exclusively. Some of them were good, some were less flashy - just depends on your desires. We would now like to try traveling around to the State Campgrounds and really see the USA......as the old Chevrolet ads used to say! :) We preferred the I-20 route for our NC to CA trip, and you might take a look at that as well. We had some bumpy roads through Louisiana on that section of I-20. Go slowly there! Hard on tires and all the internal components of the coach. Loved the area around Arizona from El PAso, Texas to Tucson - very wide open area!! Take your time to think through where it is that you want to go - ie. dream - then look for the routes which have the most campsites located along them. Good luck with your trips! See you along the way!
