Thank you for the response. We considered driving our car and also flying but with our animals that have difficulty being caged we thought the RV would be a better match where they can be out and on the bed and only caged a limited amount of time. Thanks for the heads up on the propane. I thought I saw somewhere that propane wasn't allowed in certain tunnels but perhaps I was thinking of something else. Lots of details lol. The plus side is being able to stop along the way if the mood strikes us.
