Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

Phoenix to Seattle next week ... suggestions welcome!
Permalink  

My wife and I are considering going fulltime when I retire in 5 years.  We've never toured in a motorhome before, so I couldn't pass up an incredible relocation deal.

I was lucky enough to get the $24 per day relocation special on Cruise Americas 25 foot motorhome next week.  2000 free miles too.  The catch is I'm picking it up in Phoenix on Friday and have to get it to Seattle the following Saturday.

It's a LOT of driving, about the same distance as Key West to Detroit which I've done many times, but in a van.  My wife and I have driven non-stop from Detroit to Las Vegas several times.  We've always loved driving if there was something to see.

We've both been to Bryce, Zion and the Grand Canyon.

I found Capitol Reef and the San Rafael Swell to be awesome, but my wife has never been there.

So, here's my itinerary:  I know I can't do it all.

Phoenix
Grand Canyon National Park - South Rim
Zion National Park (narrows walk)
Bryce Canyon National Park
Capitol Reef National Park
Goblin Valley State Park
Sightseeing through the San Rafael Swell
Craters of the Moon National Monument
Hells Canyon National Recreation Area
Mt. Ranier National Park
Seattle

Any suggestions, changes, comments?

Any GREAT places to camp along the way?

Since it sounds like you like those national parks I will add Mount Saint Helens National Monument. It is worth seeing.
I think you will have a tough time seeing Hells Canyon without stopping and "smelling the roses", it is off the main roads and is best seen by boat. You can also go to the back way between Zion and Bryce to see the Kolob Canyons area of Zion and Cedar Breaks National Monument.
