Sounds like a great adventure.
One question, if this is your first travel trailer, do you have experience backing it up? I only ask this because this weekend while camping in Owego NY, we had a family next to us that spent 30 minutes trying to back into a spot, and we're getting nowhere. The had a new F150 and a Winnebago Lite Five fifth wheel. We went over to help and got them backed in. They were also on a cross country road trip, and they had come from Arizona. They said from Arizona to NY they never had to back into a site! They said they only had to back up once when they got to a low bridge and said that was a nightmare as well.
In any case, I'm sure it will be a trip you won't forget. My parents completed a cross country trip last year and the one thing they both said is they wished they kept a journal, and wrote in it daily. Even if you're just driving that day, write about the scenery, the miles you covered that day, and everything else. Maybe make a blog account somewhere and post your trip so we all can follow you!
