Hi I want to take my 40’ 5th wheel from New England to Grand Canyon. Like to know preferred routes and time frames.

There are a lot of variables with this trip. Are you planning on doing any sightseeing along the way or are you looking for a direct route. The timeframe will depend on how many hours a day you’d like to drive. For some people they don’t like to drive more than 250 to 300 miles a day. Other people are good with 500 to 600 miles a day. What time of year are you planning to take this trip? If you can give us a few more particulars I’m sure you’ll get good suggestions.

I’d like to go in Spring and not drive more than 300 miles a day. I’d like to see sights along the way

my god, there are so many options / opportunities!

first thing i would do is determine the dates that you actually want to be at the grand canyon. even that can vary depending upon what you want to see / do. decide where you want to stay. then find out if you can get reservations for the dates you want at the place you want. popular places to stay are trailer village within the national park or one of several rv parks in williams, az.

as far as routes to take you need to provide more details on you would prefer. what do you like? at 300 miles per day it is 9 or 10 days from new england to the grand canyon one way.
