You might Try Natchez Mississippi there is quite a bit to do in the surrounding area.
And usually mild temps this time of year.
The Natchez trace south terminus is in Natchez and is a pretty drive but it can get a little boring after a few miles.
Also the trace has a 50 MPH speed limit.
A STRICTLY ENFORCED SPEED LIMT, BTW. - Bob___AnnExplorerIt was 84 in Alabama today. Gulf Shores sure would be nice.
- GordonThreeExplorer18 F this morning. Tonight's forecast has temps at or below zero F inland away from the lake.
It's very tempting to head south, but on reflection, I want to save my miles to head North later in the year.
I appreciate the ideas and feedback everyone, thank you. - TxGearheadExplorer IICrank it up, head south until you're comfortable.
- shelbyfvExplorerWeather is nice now near Nashville TN. No reason to come here in an RV, though.
- 1stgenfarmboyExplorerI live in the southern tip of ILL, 75 today, a little drop to high in the 60's for the next few days then back in the low 70's, lots of exploring can be done in the Shawnee National Forest.

We hit it just right, (first full week in March) we went to Andrew Jackson State Park in South Carolina (just South of Charlotte, NC) and had a fantastic week, weather wise!
But on the return trip home, (Saturday and Sunday), it turned nasty cold again, and it' just keeps hanging on! I needed to do a small fix on my camper after the trip home, and did it last Saturday. I froze to pieces and fussed the entire time. What should have taken 30 minutes, ended up being about 3 hours because my hands were so cold I couldn't hold a screwdriver. I had to keep going back in the house to thaw out!
Crazy weather! - coolmom42Explorer IIThe Gulf coast is pretty nice this time of year. They are well past freezing temps by now. Gulf Shores, AL; Pensacola, Destin, all are good.
The Georgia & South Carolina coastal areas are nice too. Savannah, Charleston, Myrtle Beach, Kiowah Island, Jekyll Island.
Supposed to be 75 in Middle Tennessee today; we may have some more cool nights, but check the long-range forecast for Nashville.
Also the North Georgia region is pretty decent this time of year.
You could start in the Nashville area and do a run down the Natchez Trace Parkway, if you are interested in historic sites.
Would be a good time to go the Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, too.
Just be aware there may be spring break college kids around; call your destination campground and check.
This is my favorite time of year to travel in the south....it's beautiful, with spring wildflowers and redbuds and dogwoods blooming.
Whoever said it's not spring yet is mis-informed. We may get a fluke cold snap, but it won't last but a day or so.
And it will be warmer than where you are, for sure!!! - Dick_BExplorerYou can go to various sources to get the averages for any city in the US. I usually use www.weather.com.
For example Louisville, KY and/or St. Louis, MO will not have an average high of 70 until well into April whereas Atlanta, GA and Charleston, SC will have such an average earlier in April.
There will be an occasional 70 degree day in many locations.
