I will get my map out and rethink the trip. Also will make sure we are not on Highway 1 north of San Simeon. I don't think we're ready for those routes.Re: Tips for California early April RV tripThank you! I like the idea of skipping LA totally and going through Bakersfield. Thanks so much for that idea and for the specific ideas in PS, JT, etc. the four hours or 400 miles rule of thumb is very helpful too. Thanks so much.Tips for California early April RV tripThis topic has been moved to another forum. You can read it here: 30022469Tips for California early April RV tripHello all, My family (2 adults, 2 kids) is planning our first RV vacation. We will go from San Jose area to Carmel, then to Morro Bay. We have a few days then want to spend time in Palm Springs, Joshua Tree, then have one night to spend to get back to the Bay Area. Any tips on the best spot to stop along I-5 that might have some fun stuff to do that is midway? Any tips on best places around LA - we don't need to get in and see the city and in fact are prioritizing safe roads for RV-ing since it's our first time. Any advice on routes and even specific campgrounds would be welcome. We have reserved one night in Morro Bay and two nights at a campground in Joshua Tree (this one with no hookups). Thanks so much and happy to review old posts but I didn't see anything specifically related. ~ABP615
