Sorry, but I almost laughed. Those sites were all filled over 6 months ago. You may be able to get a random site during the middle of the week, but that is also unlikely. I would not just show up in Michigan in the summer and hope for the best on the Western Coast. You need to plan so you're not stuck without a place to sleep. Best of luck to you. Wow- what a way to put a dark cloud over my trip. Well, you will be surprised to know that I have found sites at campgrounds for 3/4 of the trip with no issues at all...and just have not booked the last 1/4 because I do not know where I'll be headed. Just to let you know- I am quite proud that I am doing this- its just me ( a 53 year old gal) and her dog....with a toad for the first time. We are already 1/2 way across PA- and doing GREAT! Your message really bummed me out. Why spend the time to say something so negative and sarcastic?? All other responders have been SOOOOO helpful. I know its late- and I can deal with that. This is how I do it...decide on a state and GO. Quite an adventurous spirit if I do say so myself. So please keep your comments to yourself. Looking forward to my adventure..... Thanks KRe: PA to Michigan- campground ideas neededOk- so doing some more planning. Coming into southern Michigan from Ohio and headed to the Western shoreline. I am then going up the shoreline towards Mackinac and the UP. Need to plan from around Toledo to Western Michigan. I wIll need to stop for a night - any good ideas of places to see about midway between those 2 points? Thanks for the help all !!PA to Michigan- campground ideas neededHello all. Planning a trip to Michigan. I have 2 + weeks. Leaving this weekend- and just going to enjoy the ride with no hurry to get anywhere! 29' Class C with a toad. I am spending 3 nights at Lake Hudson rec area in Southern Michigan- then ??? Would like ideas after that. Like quiet camps- near water would be awesome ( although I think there are tons of those in Michigan!). Thanks for any ideas you can share! - Kathy....'Just a girl and her dog Molly' :)Re: Laarning lots- what else do I need?Thanks all. Now just a little confused about lights. Taillight or diode. Which is better ?Re: Laarning lots- what else do I need? lanerd wrote: The only other thing you'll need are a light hookup, umbilical cord (with connectors) and safety cables (or chains). You've made a good choice with the ReadyBrute. Ron Whats an umbilical cord? Sounds the same as safety cables? Break away system?Re: Laarning lots- what else do I need?As I understand it, the Elite has a braking system within it- no need for anything else.Laarning lots- what else do I need?I have a Jayco Eagle class C- setting her up for towing a 2014 Honda CR-V. Read lots here- and am going with the ReadyBrute Elite tow bar and a Blue Ox baseplate. Can you tell me what else I need to order? Brother will be installing- just want to make sure I get everything. Oh- ordering 2 Clevis Connectors as well. Thanks all- single woman RV'er here- finally setting up a dingy and SO excited !!!
