Does anyone know of rv parks along the 1-75 rte from Mi. to fla. I figure the first day we will make it to Central KY. then another 350 miles day 2 then into our destination. So we need to spend 2 nights along the way. I am wondering if 2 nights in a dog friendly motel may be the answer. Any suggestion would be appreciated.
BTW we are leaving the 1st of Feb. that is why the question. May not dewinterize until after knoxville or a little further south. We will be in our new 34" TT and truck
Not sure your exact route from Michigan to Kentucky, but if you are getting to central Kentucky in one day it will be a long one.
We do the I-24 to I-65, and at Birmingham we take US RT 231 to I-10 to I-75 and into SW Florida. We avoid Monteagle (the I-24 to I-75 route) because we had bad experiences going that way on two different occasions. Back in the 90's (March) we hit a blizzard up there and were stuck for 3 days, three years ago it was so foggy up there we had to sit for 4 hours. I don't mind the climb it is just the unpredictable weather conditions between December and March up there.
We are using Clarksville RV CG this year on our way south. It is right on the interstate and is open all year. Nashville has a nice KOA but it is around $65.00 per night. There are some good CG's down through Alabama.
The time of year you are leaving I think it would be questionable if you could de-winterize in TN or KY. If it was me I would look ahead at the extended temps for those areas and make my decision.
When we leave next month we will not be winterized. We simply set the furnace on 50 or 55 degrees and go. But we could be traveling in 30 degree days and you may be seeing 10 degree days.
