How many weekend trips should we do before attempting a 2 weeker? I'm okay with the driving but totally new with camping.

Welcome to RVF, @Jon; glad to have you here with us. Sounds like the fun is about to begin.

I think the camping comfort level is an individual thing. You just need to get comfortable with the basic functions you would have in a small house; heating/cooling, electric hookup, water hookup, etc. Here are a couple of suggestions to get you started.

feel free to take the plunge, you know 2 weeker. feel the need to shorten then shorten. want to make it longer than make it longer.

When you give up the schedule life becomes a joy and that is what it is all about.

Go for it Jon. Each day you'll find something that will make your trip easier, and you can buy it as you need it. Fun times ahead!
