Western Ky here!

After a hiatus of about 13 years, we're RVing again! Both wife and I are retired and next week will acquire a 2014 Coachmen Clipper 17FQ. Pulling it with a '16 F150. We're excited. Started camping with a pop-up in the early 90's, progressed to a 25 ft Holiday Rambler, then to a 31 Prowler, pulled with Ford conversion vans and had a blast while the kids were at home. We're looking to making a trek to the west coast (from Kentucky) and back next spring/early summer. Which brings me to this question--do you use an online program to plot/plan your trips? If so, which one? Haven't been Good Sam members in years. Grandkids are getting old enough to enjoy camping. Here we go!

Welcome to the group. We have used the app rvparky with success and if you have a Good Sam membership they have an app also.

I was down in Kentucky Dam State Park for the eclipse last summer. That was an experience I'll never forget. Met lots of wonderful, friendly people while I was there.

A couple of hundred camped in my neighbor's back yard. I had 2 MASSIVE motor coaches parked in my camper sites. It WAS a hoot! We are at the epicenter of that eclipse--Hopkinsville!

Howdy and welcome from Kentucky... Auburn here and the eclipse was pretty awesome. Wish I would’ve taken some pics around instead of up.. the lighting was awesome.
