We have a 42 foot Monaco Camelot with four slides. When the slides are out you have a large living area. We have owned both a gas RV and now a diesel and would never own another gas RV. Just our preference. The diesel has no problems climbing mountains even with a tow vehicle. I love being able to have access to the bathroom or the ability to grab a beverage or make a sandwich without having to stop. Everything is push button so we are set up in no time at all. Park, push buttons to self level, put slides out, awings out...check...chairs out, pour wine and relax all in about 10 to 15 minutes. In fact, we're our our way home right now. I'm using a Verizon MiFi card for my internet access while we're traveling.

You might want to pick up a roll of non-slip liners. You can usually find it in the shelf liner isle at the store. It works great to put the water dish on so it won't slide across the floor while driving. Also works great on the counters for items that might slide and even in the cupboards.

Our sofa's and recliners are all leather which I love because of the dogs. You can just wipe them off with a sponge for those little doggie prints and yard waste they track in. Oh, and don't forget a vacuum cleaner if the rig doesn't have a built in vac system.

To the OP...most RV parks have either wireless or ethernet connection, cable connection for TV, showers and laundry. You may want to pack a cable cord, and bring lots of quarters for showers and or laundry. Our RV has an outside bay with a shower hose with hot and cold water which is great for giving the doggies a bath.

I'm sure once you travel this way, you'll be wanting your own "home on wheels". More importantly...have a safe and fun trip!!!
