Choosing destinations by the seasons?

How do you choose where to go? Where do you stay regionally if based on the time of year?
We'll be in a Cornerstone RV towing a Jeep wrangler. Your thoughts and advise would be appreciated.

Welcome to the craziness. First of all I would never take advice from a guy like me.

We are on our 4th year of full-timing and still ask ourselves where we want to be for winter and summer. We chase 70 degree weather like others do but most of the time we are either running too slow to catch it or too fast and ahead of it! But keep in mind, full-time living is all about the journey.

Now having said all that, seasonal travel you'll figure out pretty quickly but always plan for those holidays like Memorial, 4th of July, Labor, days and those yearly doctors appointments. Normally we will book those days well in advance. Also if you want to be in Florida or south Texas for the winter you'll want to book that out way in the future as those areas fill up fast. By planning out these days it helps determine where we will be.

Your Cornerstone will handle all temps well so go and enjoy. Start creating a life than needs no vacation.

Yep, currently sitting in Ohio for yearly doctor appointments, and now they want to schedule our appointments for 2023. We will be wintering 2022-2023 in South Texas, instead of Arizona.
We are also starting our 4th year full timing.

We are headed to South Texas the second week of Jan. We will be in a small town called George West. I have a friend who is setting up power, sewer and water next to his house, although we may stay in the house. We will be there until late March or early April. I'm going to help my friend with chores but a few times a week we will take a fun excursion.

Maybe we can meet up if y'all are close by.

One of those 70+ degree maps shows the Upper Peninsula of Michigan June 1..... that's mosquito/black fly time .... not recommended.

Also, you don't want to be in northern Arizona in November. You won't find 70 deg.
