Hi,
We are planning a road trip across south west parks between 20th of june and 5th of july (15 nights) starting and ending in LA. We will rent an RV in LA, since we are two adults and a kid we were thinking to rent a ford c 22 at motorhomerepublic
The trip should include
LA, Sequoia National Park
crowded!
Death Valley
Too dam hot!
Las Vegas
If you like to gamble and eat expensive food and mingle with 1000"s of people!
Bryce Canyon
A must see but for sure you need reservations!
Antelope Canyon, Monument Valley,
Never been there!
Grand Canyon,
Reservations a must!!
and back toward the coast with 1-2 stops like Joshua Tree park or Palm Springs.
In Indio right off of I-10 you can stay free in a large parking lot next to the Casino but no hooks at all.
It should be 1-2 night per location.
The idea of doing this trip by rv is to get flexibility on duration of stay in each location, depart and arrival time.
Would you suggest to do this road trip with a c22 RV equipped with a generator in that period of the year without reserving rv parks?
For your RV trip, a generator would be great !
Main issues are
1) safety of the sites where to spend the night, so we are not considering random stops along the road in the middle of nowhere
Not a real issue in most RV Parks. If you drive up and you don't feel comfortable for any reason---Turn around and leave!
2) Ease of finding a place to spend the night. I.e. avoid long research of sites moving from park to park ti find an empty place, or waiting hours to check-in the camp ground etc.
Reservations will minimize this problem!

Sounds like a great trip! BUT, your trip is unrealistically over booked and guaranteed to be frustrating and hectic ! i.e. skip Death Valley(the heat will me miserable 105 to 120 deg., Skip Las Vegas ( too congested, loud and full of lights). Make reservations as soon as possible. All the places you want to visit are popular and crowded at the time of year. Reservations are plans to deviate from.
Use the Good Sam campground application on the internet to help to you locate and get RV parks that meet your needs. Miles driven and hours on the road varies based on individual choices. I like to drive no more than 350 to 400 miles or 4 to 5 hrs. per day. Suggest you get the Good Sam Emergency Road Side service policy to give you peace of mind if you break down on your travels.
