Last year we drove from Orlando to New Orleans, then back. We stopped off at Panama City Beach for a couple of nights on the way to New Orleans then Destin on the way back. We had booked a hotel on the outskirts of New Orleans, we left the car there and used the trams to get about. I would never have driven there, let along in a RV.

We rented an RV sometime back in Florida. Toured down to Key West.
Sensational trip! We used Cruise America. Pre-booked most of our campsites through koa.com. The Key West campsite was truly superb, our back wheels were yards from the sea & some great snorkelling! It was epic! Top tips: Remember to shop enroute! Once on site packing everything up is a pain if you have to head back out! KOA gives loads of info including on site shopping, if needed. On pick up, or before, head to Walmart! Grab a cheapo memory foam mattress topper, sheets, douvet, pillows etc Trust me it's make the bed so much more comfortable! (& you get the feel good factor of donating them to a homeless shelter when you leave!) Make sure to tell your GPS you're driving an RV... backing up narrow roads against the traffic is a challenge I'd say go for it! We absolutely loved it, BBQ'd every night & remembered what it was like to actually switch off & relax!

Thanks for replying some great tips there! I’m going to look at the rental site and the Keys is where we’d love to go, sounds like you had a great time 😊

You’re very welcome! Hope you have a great trip whatever you decide to do!
Forgot to mention... buy one of those windscreen cleaning squidgy things on a pole! Those little black flies really hammer the front of an RV! Safe travels!
