RVing to Washington DC
Need some advice and suggestions, please. We're visiting Washington DC April 6-13. We have a 1/2 ton pickup and 27' TT, nothing out of the ordinary. We're retired but active, no pets or kids, BTW. ...

I wonder how many of the responders here have actually spent time in the DC area. Helps to know your way around from those that have spent a lot of time or lived there and not just read about it in a brochure. One thing for sure driving any where in that area is awful and parking is worse.....
There are alot of altenative CG's in the DC area . Grenbelt, Little Bennet,Pohick Bay,Prince William,Bull Run. There are a couple of others still. I have actually stayed at most of them
They are all doable, however you need to be a bit familiar with DC to use the altenatives to Cherry Hill. The traffic can be that bad.
DC is not a commuter by car friendly place.
Metro works well but even the metro lot can fill up quick at some stations. Cherry Hill makes it easy for you. Now if being a DC tourist is not your thing some of the alternatives are better.
There is a lot to see in DC. If you want to maximise your time seeing things vs. riding trains, finding parking spots, walking around the Metro station,or circling the belt way stay at Cherry Hill
Seeing the monuments and attractions at night is its own unique thing!
