A camping forum for VW bus and camper owners.
Hello,
In a few weeks I'll be driving from Massachusetts across country to the west coast in my 1971 VW Westfalia. Earlier I was considering taking a northern route, but now I'm leaving later I'm thinking of a more southern one, through MA, CT, NY, NJ, PA, MD, VA, NC, SC, GA, AL, LA, TX, AZ, CA.
Do you have any experience of driving this route or sections of it and favorite stops along the way?
Or do you have another route that you'd recommend in late October and November?
Also I'd love to meet up with VW Camper Family members along the way, so please let me know if you're open to meeting, have a VW club get together or can offer me safe place to camp overnight.
Cheers, Carole

Make sure and hit the dragon's tail highway (think it's highway 129)! It's between NC and TN. I included it on my recent 11,500 mile motorcycle trip. Fantastic place. The route i took can be found here:

Let me know if you cross over any of it and have questions about the area...
Thanks Casey. I just posted my route at http://vw4causes.org/mga-route/
Looking at yours I don't see any overlap do you?
I'm heading south from MA now winter is approaching. Have you been on any of this section?

KEEP TRYING TO LEAVE BUT CAN'T SEE GETTING AWAY UNTIL 27TH which means I'll just miss it.
