I would have to suggest the southwest corner of South Dakota. You can go to any one of many rv parks near rapid city. And from there you are within 90minutes of devils tower, spearfish canyons, deadwood, Sturgis, needles highway, iron mountain pass, Mount Rushmore, crazy horse monument, badlands national park, and Custer state park. If the weather isn’t cooperating you can still drive these areas without the hiking. But hiking in the black hills is unreal. And as a bonus you don’t need to move the rv the whole week. So much more fun at night not having to worry about moving the following day. No matter where you decide to go enjoy it. Good luck and God’s speed.

A life long Michigander here. Michigan actually has two National Lakeshore Parks. Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore and Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore AND a island 6 hours out in Lake Superior, called Isle Royale which is a National Park. Michigan’s only National park! Just to clarify! Isle Royale is a 100 miles Long Island with hiking for end to end. Full of moose and wolves. Both protected there. Well worth the trip!

One of the best photos I have of my Mom is her sitting on a rock looking over the Painted Desert at just the right time of day...so I cannot emphasize enough how important *what time of day you arrive* is! Sun angle and shading from the land are *critical* for Western monument viewing while time of year is more critical to traveling the PCH. If you arrive at the Grand Canyon or Painted Desert at noon, well, it's a big ditch pr a wide area full of rocks. Big whoopee ding dong. Flowering fields make the coast route unforgettably gorgeous with the yellow flowers covering the hillsides, and even more spectacular that just the cliffs and water while the PCH in high dry summer is impressive on the water side but rather meh otherwise.

When it comes to national parks, I would recommend getting in as early as possible by 6:30 or 7. You will beat the crowds at the gate and be able to reach those places that get crowded quickly without any difficulty!

So, we're from Fremantle, WA and did the following in 17 days (in 2014): Vegas, Hoover Dam, Grand Canyon, Arches, Canyon Lands, Capitol Reef, Arches, Monument Valley, Grande Escalande Staircase, Bryce Canyon, Zion. This included staying in Bryce for 4 days with the resident geoligical range who we knew from Notre Dame uni in Freo! Would have loved to have stayed longer and can't wait to get back!

We just did a month long trip to Yellowstone and Glacier. Speaking of things not going right. First night out the bedframe collapsed, second night the shower drain broke, and two days later had a flat tire on the truck. Despite getting off to a rocky start, we still had a great trip.

That nice Sunday moment was delightful. You look so relaxed and that camping site is just wow. Stay safe.

When you come up to the Northeast, be sure not to miss the hidden gem of Portsmouth, NH. SO much history, SO much great food, and a great walking city in the downtown area with little shops and such.

Agreed, the coast from Big Sur up to Cannon Beach with frequent stops along the way is bucket list material.

We just finished our 44 day Southwest National Park trip. It was amazing! Now, we're home on Cherokee Lake in Tennessee planning for our September trip. Love watching your travels!

My buddy Alex (Old English Sheepdog) and I tent camped for 2 hours in Huron National Forest, and had to leave because we were covered by ticks. Yesterday we went and bought a 23' Keystone Passport. Started looking for YT full-time RVing, and came across you guys. Great tips, tricks, and anticipation for getting out on the open road and explore!

My fiancée and I are going on an epic two week trip starting in Wisconsin, going to Custer in SD, up to Glacier, then down to Grand Teton/Yellowstone, then back home. We are staying a few days in each location and can’t wait to 1. Marry my best friend and 2. Have this opportunity for such a great honeymoon!

I have been following you all along. We now full time with a 21ft travel trailer. You are the reason we decided to do it. We are currently in the Sun Valley area. I think y’all might be also

Thanks for taking your time to make recommendations to those of that are unable to take extended time off. One thing that has me scratching my head is why you guys didn’t go with another f450 this time around. The turning radius makes it more tolerable to drive unhitched.

Shoutout to Kentucky State Parks! We did a lot of long-weekend trips when we were working. I kept a map with a 300 mile radius circle with the center on our home in Michigan. As you have said Michigan has great state parks and beach towns. Kentucky has hills, rock climbing, rafting and caves! Carter Caves and Cumberland Falls are two favorites.

So true about 7 mile bridge. On our 6 month fulltime life, that’s one of my greatest memories and I couldn’t figure out why, but it’s exactly as you said “somewhere that makes you feel like you are somewhere else”. Also it was cool for us as we love the movie ‘True Lies’ 🤣🤣

This is great! Our family and a friend’s (13 of us) just completed a 10 day roadtrip around the entire state of Nebraska. It was incredible!

I feel so blessed - I have seen every place you mentioned except Glacier National Park - which is on the next agenda. Thanks for reminding me how fortunate I have been.

OMG Guys!!! Great Video!! You are totally correct you can do a lot in 10 days. My parents had 4 - 6 weeks vacation each year. We were always gone from early June to mid July. My Mom spent months planning our trips and packing in as much stuff as she possibly could stuff into those trips. My dad, well he was the driver. Sometimes he drove 10 plus hours to get us to the next destination. In fact, I remember one trip when we rolled into Vegas at midnight. Set up the camper, went to bed, got up, had breakfast and we were out the door doing by 9:00am to get in whatever Mom had planned. Anyway, all 5 of us kids loved every bit of it!! Yes, we were a family of 7 in a 26 ft travel trailer. (We started out in a 22ft travel trailer). Sometime my grandparents would join us. Then we were 9 people in the same 26 ft rig. Dad extended the upper bunk to accommodate 4 kids vs 2 kids to fit all 9 of us into the rig. Although we were gone for a longer period of time it blows my mind how much we were able to do and see in that time frame. Same thing happened on our spring break trips. Mom packed the week beyond full and Dad drove to make it happen. I wouldn’t trade it for the world. Sorry, went down memory lane. Anyway really love all of your suggestions. I can hardly wait to start traveling again. We are 1 - 2 years from full time RVing. As always, thanks for the great information, amazing video, and safe travels.

Love your videos! Last summer we rented an RV from the east coast for three weeks. 7,000.5 miles later, we returned with memories to last a lifetime. Needed to plan better for the fuel consumption, but would get in another RV and do the trip again tomorrow! We went west on I90 almost all the way. Came home east from four corners. Just amazing! Yellowstone, Zion, Bryce, Zion, Grand Canyon north and South rim, amazing. Couldn’t agree more with your recommendations!

Great advice. We fell in love with the Keys a very long time ago when we only had a week off for vacation. We winter there now. It's true you feel a sense of community and that is a good feeling. Thanks foe sharing. Safe travels.
