I've compiled some statistics about our first big RV trip. It was actually 2 trips back to back with about 36 hours at home between them.
We left home on 9/19/2022 and traveled to Florida where we camped at Walt Disney World until hurricane Ian chased us out. We returned home just long enough to swap our Florida attire for Northwest attire, then headed west to join Jennifer and Eric on a Northwest adventure. On 10/21 we finally arrived back home after our 33 day journey.
We traveled over 8,600 miles through 16 states. We spent 2 nights at home, 6 nights at hotels, and 24 nights camped in our Thor Sequence RV. Most of our campsites had full hookups or water and electric. A few were electric only and we spent 4 nights of full dry camping. We visited Austin, Roland, and Christian. We enjoyed campfires, some tasty campground meals prepared by Eric, and traveling with Jennifer and Eric.
