Well, it looks like we will be taking small trip back to IA for a family reunion next month and we've decided that the best way to take the kids with us would be to rent an RV.

I've never stayed in a RV so I really have NO idea what I'm getting myself into. So, please, if you have any suggestions - I'd really appreciate hearing them.

I think it's a 28 ft one so it looked like we would have "some" storage room.

We're not going to be cooking on it except to have coffee & toast - so stocking up on food isn't a primary concern - 1st aid or emergency stuff will be (for us and the dogs).

Do you all bring your own water? My babies are used to our filtered water so I was thinking that maybe I should pack about 6 gallons of our home water for them... what do you think?

Where do you put your potty pads - in the shower? Doesn't seem like too much room for grooming in there. We do plan on staying at a hotel once on the way up & once on the way back - I guess that will be the only place that I'll feel comfortable grooming my 2.

ANY TIPS ARE APPRICATED!!!!

I'm getting nervous. It's been a long time since I've traveled much less with the kids.

Getting Mia' shot utd this week and then heartworm, flea/tick stuff after that.
