So after getting a lot of education and advice here over the last two years in advance of our first motorhome purchase, we finally pulled the trigger and put a deposit down on a Renegade Verona 40 VRB. We ended up buying way out of state. I could not get comfortable with the online reputations of the dealers here in the Northeast - we are in Connecticut - and I made a strong connection with a dealer in Nebraska.
The plan is to drive the to-be “Toad” out to the dealer, have him make all the tow connections, spend a few days getting comfortable with the rig, and then drive back to Connecticut. I am retiring at the end of this month, so time will not be a factor, and I expect we will either go in late April, or mid-June, depending on when it is delivered. It is pretty much a straight shot right along I-80, so the idea is to make as many stops as needed.
Two questions – is a 250 mile day a reasonable goal, and I am seeking any ideas on where to stop/camp along the way? My wife and I will have the two dogs with us. I have been searching along RVlife Tripwizard, but would welcome thoughts from anyone with any real world experience along that route. If there is any campground around the midpoint or beyond where we could layover for a day or two and enjoy some sights, that would be great.
Thanks!
