re: How many of y'all camp with RVs?

My wife and I want to drive cross-country next year from West to East and hit up a bunch of parks and small towns. I don't think we'd want to drive too big of a camper. Has anyone done this with those nice vans and maybe just stay at hotels instead? I wonder how expensive it would be to do a trip like that over 2-3 months or so.

We bought one that lets us stay off grid almost indefinitely, and it's been pretty damn awesome out west.

What are the things to look for in off grid functionality? Which trailer are you rocking? What did you add to it?

I'll probably rent for a few weekend trips ahead of one long trip. But I can work remotely often, despise flying, love the open road in the western half of the country and have a large dog I'd like to keep along with me. I can see myself getting out for weeks at a time eventually.

We're in one. We originally bought one to be able to bounce between Florida, Montana, and Ohio without staying at hotels or with friends and family. Then we just decided to hit the road and we haven't really been "home" in going on three years. We bought one that lets us stay off grid almost indefinitely, and it's been pretty damn awesome out west.

That sounds great.. Have yall driven the Alaska Highway (AlCan) ? Starts just above Seattle and is a 1400 mi drive hugging the west coast of Canada all the way up to Fairbanks AK.. youll pass thru the Yukon, Whitehorse et al ; views are supposed to be spectacular and puts the Natchez Trace and Blue Ridge Pkwy to shame .. im hoping to do it in the next few years .
