...Or the Start?

I fill ours at the end of our "Ohio" season so we are ready for our winter " "Florida" season. Since we don't normally head south until January 15th or so. I like to have a full tank for the furnace just in case we would get hung up somewhere for a few days on the way down.

Took our SCUBA unit out for a few days ( Self Contained Ultimate Biohazard Avoidance unit). Interfaced with no one closer than 10 ft and outdoors. Crowds and gas prices great. We never stay at commercial parks so can’t comment. Many public campgrounds closed but boondockerswelcome.com, BLM, and some National Forest campgrounds aviailable.

Well. If there is I’d flunk it! But I don’t need graphs to tell me that when things are getting worse.

Smart to wait.

Have had numerous folks leave our park heading to various states north & east with several heading in to Canada with all reporting absolutely no issues getting to their destinations. All report fuel, hotel rooms, RV camp spots are available. Food was all drive thru or truck stops, but no problems.
One Canadian couple left here (southern Arizona) heading east to Florida to pick up their son & headed north into Canada with no one stopping them or questioning why or where they were heading, arrived home across the border safe & sound, but informed they were to self quarantine for 14 days.

Fill it whenever it's empty because the season never ends.

You're not missing anything up here in Michigan. I wish I could trade places with you.

I am going from NE Florida (Jacksonville) to central Lansing, Michigan. Any suggestions of the route 1-95 vs 1-75? This is not a planned trip as my brother is not doing well and I want to arrive quickly but safely, I have driven a SUV to Michigan but not the RV. Any suggestions of campsites with pull through sites along the route, Is there a service/club that can assist with reservations that you recommend? Any suggestions you can provide will be appreciated.

My wife and I would be staying overnight in rest stops, stopping only to refuel. We will have enough food with us that we will not have to be shopping, and having contact with anyone along the way. Same as the over the road truckers. I will be wearing nitrile gloves, and a bandanna when using my credit card to pay at the pump, and while actually pumping gas.

Anyways, this all just in the planning stage right now. Time, and conditions, will determine if we will even attempt this return home in two weeks. Thank you all for your opinions, and keep them coming. Stay safe everyone.

It is against the law for any State to block your entry on the in Interstate. It is federal law. They may stop you and ask where you are going. They may explain to you their virus concerns. They can ask for information on your travel but the bottom line is they can not stop you from traveling thru the state on the Interstate system.

I 75. I go around Atlanta on 441. Macon to Commerce. Can't help with camp sites. Motels Walmart and truck stops are easier.

Last week we made a trip from North Carolina to Vermont for the burial of my father in law who passed away in Feb (could not put burial off) We did a lot of preplanning -loaded coach with food and water did thorough mechanical inspection left on a Sunday and avoided major Metro areas and stopped only for fuel and rest - and checked in advance what was open -no issues. Just do your homework

We overnighted at Cracker Barrel's and WalMart's.

Take I95 to I26 to I40 to I75 into Michigan, it’s easier and you don’t have to go through Atlanta, which at times can take a 3 hour delay.

Take I 75 north out of Florida, all the way to Toledo, Ohio. Just south of Toledo you will head west onto I 475 (Perrysville) and then take 475 west to 90 ( Maumee) across northern Ohio. I believe that 90 is a toll road. Take 90 west to I 69 north which goes directly into Lansing. I think this is the quickest way to make this trip. You will be avoiding most of the traffic that is around the western suburbs of Detroit and the Ann Arbor area.

take 441 around Atlanta. Macon to Commerce.
