Curious about where you're staying/the cost...have you a spot booked or are you planning on different sites... maybe some boon docking maybe some Walmart? Five months in Florida sounds really warm, nice, and expensive mind you, close to the ocean/beach camping would be great!
Good luck and keep us posted |
Robert, seems to me you are making a trip like this bigger than it is. We always book our places in advance; land in Nov., book the prior April or May for our normal site, 3 months in advance for others...depending on where you are going. Expense varies from 350 mo. to 2000; you have to look around and find your place to see what they have that you are interested in. We have no desire whatsoever to be sitting at the waters edge on the Gulf in a little confined RV park so we can pay double - none.
We don't do Walmart and always have a confirmed site - doesn't add a lot of expense but adds a ton of certainty and ability to plan. We do this all the time and think it's pretty easy; don't let what appears to be complicated slow you down - it's not. I spent months and months in a 24-25' travel trailer with no slides years ago and it was "OK" so you can do it. A much longer trailer with 3 slides makes it enjoyable.
