Lilly asked:

Thinking of doing something wild and crazy taking my old Dodge Van I use for 4hr road trips that I use for camping…….
Thinking about going on a LONG road-trip…..From CA- Oregon, to Idaho, and thru Nevada, back to CA.

How many miles to the gallon do you get in your Dodge Van?

My van has a queen size bed, porta potty, curtains, and a/c, everything thing i need, and never have to unpack.

So— should i do it in the VAN??? or rely on the Luxury car and do hotels? I’m looking for a thrill, and think this will be fun for the spouse and dog and me. It’s my idea, so i’m not allowed to complain!

How many miles to the gallon.
Pros and cons welcome.

thanks for your help and ideas.
Kindness and experienced road trippers please.

any cool road stops? campgrouds off I 5, and that road that goes from Portland to Idaho??
I plan on showering!!! State Parks have showers. I’m a dry dirt camper, and a hygene freak!!! i change my underware 2x’s a day for those of you who are worried that i might smell!!! sheesh!!!!
how many gallons to the mile?
and I will be going up I 5, not the twisty scenic route, and Hotel/Motel if i want a break from my comfy bed in the van.
