I am trying to make this trip as cheaply as possible. There are 4 of us and it is 3635 miles (66 hours) one way. We will have 4 drivers (2 teenager new drivers so not sure how much I will let them drive).
Am I crazy or should I just look into airline tickets and start saving now?
That's an awfully long drive, and...
Rental of the motorhome for umpteen days + gas + food + campground fees + other expenses you can't predict = a heck of a lot of money compared to airline tickets.
I'd be on the lookout for airline tickets. It sounds like you have plenty of time to find a good deal on them.
