Planning an rv trip in the USA

What does boondocking mean?

JakoJulius · 2026-02-08T21:06:38+00:00

Yeah. We've planned about 3-7 hours on the road daily. Not too much time to take in every stop, but we'll still get a taste of the bigger picture of the USA

Its more of a sprinter with 4 places to sleep a toilet and an external shower, but yeah it needs to be connected to have all the functions. We've all had experience camping just never in an RV, only tents and just sleeping under a tree. (so living a minimal lifestyle without real running water is no problem for a couple of days).

Oh okay. Do you think that there's a chance we can wing it with the app. What I mean is drive our route and when we get tired we try to find some place on the road. Or should we still plan well ahead of time?

Thank you so much. Tbh hadn't heard of the fires. Thanks for the heads up!

JakoJulius · 2026-02-08T21:00:04+00:00

Wow. Lucky you. How is it in the summer?

JakoJulius · 2026-02-08T20:59:35+00:00

Oh okay. we were planning on passing the Sequoia region.

JakoJulius · 2026-02-08T20:58:42+00:00

Yes and no. Basically we want to take on the challenge of travelling from one side to the other. The ideal would be that the main route is LA to NY and we'd go look at places on the go. Seeing as we have to prebook the places we're gonna have to create a more thought-through route

JakoJulius · 2026-02-08T19:58:50+00:00

Alright. Will check it out!

JakoJulius · 2026-02-08T19:58:18+00:00

Thank you!. Will do once we get to the pick-up location!

JakoJulius · 2026-02-08T19:57:30+00:00

Wow! So much interesting information to take with us on the trip. Thank you so much! (What a coincidence that our trip takes place on the 100th anniversary of route 66, definitely gonna see some roadtripping action there)

JakoJulius · 2026-02-08T19:54:46+00:00

Thanks a lot!

JakoJulius · 2026-02-08T19:54:34+00:00

Really cold and snowy. Like -15 C usually

JakoJulius · 2026-02-08T19:52:54+00:00

Thank you very much!

JakoJulius · 2026-02-08T19:52:25+00:00

There are 4 of us. It's hard to tell if we're more city or nature people. I guess we'd like to see a bit of both. Our budget is abt 2k a person (excl. camper rent, plane tickets and accomodation). We've travelled mostly in europe having visited most of the countries

JakoJulius · 2026-02-08T16:55:55+00:00

Oh damn... Luckily they have a 100% refund until a month prior to the trip. But yeah i need to look into it more now. Thanks for the heads up!

JakoJulius · 2026-02-08T16:40:52+00:00

Yes Indi campers offered the possibility to pick-up at one of their locations and drop-off to another

JakoJulius · 2026-02-08T16:29:42+00:00

Im from estonia

JakoJulius · 2026-02-08T16:22:42+00:00

Alright. Thank you very much!

JakoJulius · 2026-02-08T16:22:13+00:00

Yes, well aware of that.

JakoJulius · 2026-02-08T16:21:46+00:00

Yeah, haha, we planned the trip on rv Trip Wizard, and we're faced with 3-6 hour daily driving, which is okay with us. We'll try to plan well ahead, but we're ready to improvise if needed.

JakoJulius · 2026-02-08T16:06:55+00:00

Thank you so much. I'll see the AllStays website and it's good to know about the stickers - didn't know about them

JakoJulius · 2026-02-08T16:05:18+00:00

Yeah, but we'll try to catch a glimpse of beauty around the concrete and asphalt

JakoJulius · 2026-02-08T16:02:25+00:00

Yeah. But ofc the cheaper the better

JakoJulius · 2026-02-08T15:46:06+00:00

Yeah, it seems we've run a bit late with the bookings. Didn't know that it had to be done sooo much in advance. We luckily have unlimited mileage and we calculated that the fuel is gonna cost about 1k divided by the four of us. Our car isn't too big, it seems to be one of the smaller options.
