My advice for winter travel, regardless of area, is to always check ahead for weather conditions.
That is year around advise.
In the summer of 2017 we've been running between Harvey in Texas and Irma in Florida.
That can put scramble in your vacation plans.
Our planned destination was Florida Keys, the farthest we've got was Jacksonville.
You need to set your mind about camping in the wild, what in those states is not that easy v/s staying at campgrounds.
When we drove to FL couple years ago, even in August and September overnight AC was a must, when running generator overnight is not always (good) option.
Than not being familiar with the area, finding spot for boondocking was not easy, when finding campground took 2 minutes of net searching.
Than with $10 senior pricing why da heck not?
Point is that you go into prime touristic areas and finding a spot where you can stop overnight with no fee can be difficult, when in lot of those places impossible.
Some areas allow beach camping, but with new truck I did not want to go into salt.
Nice surprise for us was running into Silver Slipper Casino in Mississippi. Nice RV park and when you sign into cassino club, you can stay for free.
We won $300 to top it, so really good memories.
On bad side- we've got weaken up at 5 AM at Walmart in Georgia, where they did not allow overnight stay. The ordinance was targeting semi-trucks that for some reason used the parking, so they let us go.

First tell us if you have multi-agency senior pass, or if not- get one ASAP.
I did trip in this area 2 years ago and although Irma scared us from main Florida we had great time on Pensacola island, where state campground cost us about $10 with water and electric.
Same in New Orleans.
Do you have planned route?
