"Are we there yet?" :)
Topics I am thinking but would like discussion....
1.Starting in June are 2 A/Cs a must for that itinerary? Nope, most C’s setup with one & fans, reducing light in are tricks during really hot times.
2.I have driven buses and firetrucks for a living, but wife hasn't. is a 31 footer going to be a pain to drive? If she is a competent driver, she would certainly be able to learn.searching 27-31 footers in $35k and under range. Not planning on keeping it, just buying it and selling when finished.
3. Should tail clearance be a real thought? Nope
4. slide outs? are they worth it if we aren't living on it? Yes, with four of you, will help
5. fuel consumption of the generator? is it relevant on a highway trip? Minmimal, ½ gal per hr.
6. I have 36 days with only four long days (10, 10, 11 and 11 hrs) and four extra days for unexpected. Is this trip possible or am I going to be sitting in maintenance shops for half of it? Depends on the condition of the unit. Travel in a RV is lower than expected.
7. I will ask for tricks of the trade the closer I get, but if anyone has personal experiences about the places I listed please feel free to share. Lots of great info, try the search function, many of the locations will have information in the forums.
Why not figure out (rental try a motorhome), if this style of traveling is your family’s thing. Invest in a Motorhome, for a longer period, and work in all the adventures over time.
Costly venture,& lot of variables, going into a 40 day plan.
