TEXAS east to west on I 10

[kingsransom]

We are traveling from Florida in a class A 35' motorhome. We have never been on a long trip, but hope to make it to Calif, via Texas, New Mexico, and Colorado. Not sure where we will go from there. When researching the roads across TX, there is an area from San Antonio to Ft Stockton that looks scary. We usually only travel 3-4 hours then stop. This area looks desolate, with not many towns, exits, or places to stay. Would like some feedback from other travelers about this area or any info on TX. We hear that there are long empty roads there that go on forever.

Stops
1. Junction - South Llano River SP - 30A/W Dump Station or dry camping in city park along river or a former KOA right on exit 456 - pretty good reviews and looked clean when we went last August

2. Sonora - Exit 392 - Caverns of Sonora about 10 miles south of I-10 has an RV park. Good reports though I personally have not visited. 50A/W - no dump station - do not want water leaking down into the caverns.

3. Iraan - Exit 325 - About 20 - 25 miles north - three city parks - however they might be full of oil field workers.

Note - farther down the forums is a Roads and Routes section - better place to ask about specific highways.

Back in the day not all that long ago you would see the SUN SET on you three times crossing TEXAS...

Just make sure you gots enough fuel in the West Texas part of the trip. It indeed thins out pretty much in that area. The last time I was on West I10 I noticed alot of BORDER PATROL vehicles which to us was a rare sight...

We always used I40 going West but mostly because we had family to visit along the way... I40 was prone to ICE and SNOW in the winter months however and lots of BIG TRUCK's traffic....
