Hi.

I just bought my first RV in USA
I would like to know if I have somethings to know as the road signs, is there any road signs reserved for RV, some rules to follow on the road....

So many questions, if you have some ideas, you welcome.

And now my road trip this August.

It begins in Lehigh Acres FL, it's the place where the RV is waiting us.

Here is some ideas.

In Florida:
-Sanibel, Captiva
-Sarasota (classic car museum)
-Réserve Fort De Soto
-St John's pass village and boardwalk
-Clearwater
-Tampa, Bush gardens
-Ocala (parc de Silver Springs)
-St Augustine
-Jacksonville

Georgia:
-Savannah
-Atlanta

South Carolina:
-Charleston

Between North Carolina and Tenessee:
-Great smokey mountains
-Sevierville (muscle car museum)

May be:
-Nashville
-Lynchburg (Jack Daniels)
-Bowling green (Corvet museum)

What do you think about it?

Do you have some ideas about these places, some advices to park the RV in Citys, Good, nice and quiet places to past nights...

Places to add that I wouldn't have thought...

Thanks

Hi, We are big fans of the Florida State Park campgrounds. Whenever we are heading to the Keys we always start at Anastasia State Park in St Augustine. Beautiful campground and beautiful beach.


It looks like very nice and wild as we love.
We have to go to ranger's office to book?
Do you think it should have places vacancy in August without reservations?

We 'll try to go.

This is To past the night on parking, but my question was for during the day To buy food.

For shopping trips, park where there is room. My Super C is large. I always park out away from others. Taking up several parking spaces. Then walk into stores.

Ok for these recommendations.

On Mall parking as the Wall Mart, is there any places reserved for RV or we park where we can.

Also, to fill up propane tank, where can i go, gas station, campground...
Is there any information sign to tell us we can fill up propane tank?
Do I need a downpipe, a connector... or seller have it as the gas?

I don't know if my questions are clear, I hope so.

At Wal-Marts you go inside store and ask manager for permission to park in their parking lot. Manager will generally tell you the what area to park.
