Thanks, and I do realize that it would be a lot slower going in the RV and I can respect that. When I tow now, I'm not doing 80, but somewhere around 60, but that's in a quad cab truck and 18' trailer. I know exactly what you mean by "crazies", when I'm towing, you seem to notice them more, cutting you off, not giving enough room to make that turn at the corner. and generally just blowing by you on the hwy.
When we plan trips and have to drive the Jeeps, we look on the maps to get a general sense of how far/long it is to the destination and add at least an hour. GPS says 4hrs, it will be 5hrs in 'Jeep Time' since we can't go that fast.
My whole goal in this was to see what my best option was for what I want to do since I'm new to the game and what is actually out there.. A or C. Dream would probably be a Super C with a large enclosed trailer and enough time from work to enjoy everyday of it.. I do get to work from home a lot, so being able to drop anchor somewhere and just login looking at some new beautiful scenery would be perfect!
I appreciate all the input from everyone!!!

I guess I never did address the fact we did the trip really fast...

Thanks... I guess it's more than finding a place to place our head and fill our stomachs. not lugging a few overnight bags into the hotels at night or making sure the cooler is still full of ice. My has mentioned that I wouldn't be able to cruise along at 80+ mph like I do in the truck, nor will I see anything around the 25+ mpg I was getting either. Hoping an RV would offset the hotel costs and the need to not "push" to get to the next city to find a room.
I love RVing and that is about the only reason to do it. You still have to find a place to camp, setting up camp is more work then checking into a hotel, and the 10 MPG fuel cost along with the RV cost and maintenance would cover a lot of hotel expense and then some. Having an RV is not a way to save on cost. For myself, I wouldn't have it any other way.
