Roadtrekking in our 210P via Lily Pads

This is our Trek in our Roadtrek 210P. Hint: Scroll to a list of "Topics and Destinations" on the right. Our RT is a portal to a much larger world and we have established "lily pads" from which we travel and we'll post about those, too. Life is a Journey of discovery in our Motorized Alpaca, a "tiny cabins on wheels". It has been said that "Life Begins at the end of our Comfort Zone." Content and photos are original unless noted.

Continuing our winter trek - April 2018

The next leg of our winter trek is 1,774 miles. We'll be spending some time in the Florida Panhandle. Our ultimate destination for this trek: the Florida Keys.

After reaching the panhandle we'll have another 600 miles to go to get into our final destination for this leg in the Florida Keys. This map only gets us about 75% of the way.

The 210P has been mechanically checked by the local Chevy dealer, and after changing the engine oil (synthetic) they gave us the "thumbs up". I changed the Onan generator oil as usual within one year whether the hour meter indicates it is necessary or not.

I had the 210P cleaned and polished and we have begun packing.

Headed Southwest to escape the winter

It's time to leave the north and head south for the winter. Not quite endless summer, but it is to be an infrequent winter. This year we left earlier than usual and the weather was wonderful. This allowed us to stop in Roswell, NM, the Sand Dunes National Monument and the White Sand Missile Base. The total distance was 1837 miles.
Here was the length of each day. This included travel, sight-seeing and meal time:

Day 1, 1:15pm-9:30pm, 471 miles
Day 2, 9:00am-5:30pm, 460 miles
Day 3, 8:00am-5:30pm, 416 miles.
Day 4, 8:30am-5:45pm, 342 miles
Day 5, 8:00am-10:30am, 148 miles

Here's a data table for 6 days. The first was local miles with average speed 15 MPH. The actual trek was over 5 days. Mileage (MPG) at 55-65 MPH is about 15. Speed limits were generally 70 - 75 MPH. We travel at the speed limits. Our average speed including local miles over the 5 days was 64 MPH.
