@scottjehl I'd love to hear more about both your trip and your rig! We've done the whole east coast a few times in our little travel trailer. Been wanting to head out West for a while now.
@cferdinandi hey thanks! We rented 25ft RVs from Cruise America in SLC to do the round trip. Drove to the Zion/Bryce area for the first two nights, and arches area for the next two. One park per day. Bryce was our fav. Maybe the most surprising part was how much open area there is to just camp in BLM land. We booked ahead not knowing how it’d go, and because we had 4 RVs with young kids, but next time I’d be more spontaneous. That said, Gold Bar campground in Moab was incredible.
@cferdinandi@scottjehl Sorry to interject, just wanted to add some context. The state of Oregon (where I live) is only like 50% owned by Oregon and the rest is federally owned land, including: national park, national forests, BLM land, and some other stuff. Not only are our states giant out here but most of our land isn't even under our control (at the state level). (Image from Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_lands_in_the_United_States). This may or may not be interesting to you!
@anniegreens@scottjehl I so desperately want to reach the PNW! We need a better rig before we travel that way, though. 104 square feet of spaced being towed by an SUV is fine for a few weeks, but for a months long trip it would break us all, I think.
