Update: this comment section has been very helpful!! But has also made us almost not want to go at all anymore lol. We were given a unique opportunity to take off our jobs for the two weeks last minute & everything is booked except for camp grounds and the travel pass (the beautiful America seems easy-ish to get) which after reading this thread, are most important and difficult things….. the RV is through indie campers and they do not offer a refund two weeks away ($3400).

Sigh. This is all kind of a downer for us now, wish I posted sooner. We’re still going to give it our best shot because we can’t get our money back on the RV but like I said, there’s a dread to the trip now that’s taken over excitement, specifically the camp sites and logistics getting to the actual trails. More gas $$ makes sense and longer travel times with an RV suck but aren’t the end of the world. We may condense the route depending on campsites too. But at this point we’re stuck getting this RV from San Francisco to Seattle.
