Where would you go - in Oct / Nov
We have a 2017 Melbourne 24L; we're not planning to tow at the moment. Any recommendations on where to go for about 4-5 weeks in Oct / Nov. for a trial trip with the rig. Where are some of your favorite places that time of year? We're in the Central U.S. and don't really want to go north. Thank you for any ideas.

We love the Ozarks in the fall - but don't go as it is already too crowded that time of year.

There are some great national parks in Utah & Arizona, if you are in to that kind of stuff.
Utah - Zion, Bryce, Arches, Capital Reef, Canyonlands, Grand Staircase-Escalante
Arizona - Grand Canyon, Monument Valley, Saguaro National Park, Petrified Forest
Just to name a few.

Big Bend is nice that time of year. You can still wear shorts and sleep outside at night.

We do not tow any vehicle. We can drive the Melbourne 24L to most places we want to go to without any problems.

It's Kartchner Caverns I believe. As I recall you need reservations for the cave tours there. Lost Dutchman is another nice Arizona State park.
Tucson has some fun attractions including PIMA Air & Space Museum, Titan Missile Museum, Biosphere 2 and Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum. Kitt Peak National Observatory is about 60 miles southwest as well.

St. Augustine Florida is my go to place. Tons of things to do there and within a few hour drive.
Great beach and lots of history. Probably the best Italian resturant on the entire east coast is there also.

Santa Fe, New Mexico and Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park in Colorado. We also like Zion NP, Canyonlands and Arches in Moab, Utah. All of these places are pretty close to each other...you could catch all of them.

Hard time find a nicer place than the California Central Coast in the fall.

Happy RVing,
