Hi Everyone,
Just got our 5th wheel and have taken it out only twice.(short in state trips) Now taking a road trip to Austin TX from Grand Rapids Mi.(So excited:D ) Need to make it there in 2-2/2 days. Any advice on route and where to stop for a few hours rest. Any and all advice is greatly appreciated!
Rose, Timmer

Go to flyingj.com Check out their trip route planner. It will take you by major interstate roads and show you where all their locations are along the route. Great place to get fuel, rest, dump holding tanks, fill with water, check your tire p.s.i. and even get propane. And the resturants aren't bad either. Apply for the RV discount card and use it for all purchases at their locations. Depending on how much you purchase, the fuel discount increases. Good luck.

I too recommend flyingj.com http://direct.where2getit.com/cwc/apps/w2gi.php?template=searchatw&client=flyingj Or you could use maps.google.com http://maps.google.com. It is a long haul from Grand Rapids to Austin TX, approx. 1300 miles, about 20 hours of drive time. Good Luck in your travels, God Speed. :o

You might want to try freetrip.com also. It will give you routes. I am not sure about camping and all, I have only used it for routing.
