What’s the best RV route from the east to west of the United States?

My family is renting an RV for a few weeks in the summer and traveling from east to west across the US. We’d love to check out some of the best cities along the way and make the most of our time. What’s the best RV route?

Traveling in an RV is a great way to see the country and do it comfortably. While there are plenty of routes to take across the country, the best RV route from east to west starts in
Washington
, DC, along I-66/I-81 and finishes along I-80 in
Sacramento
,
California
. The trip totals about **4,240 miles and passes through eleven states:
The route allows you to visit some of the country’s best National Parks: Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Big Bend National Park, White Sands National Monument, Arches National Park, Canyonlands National Park, Bryce Canyon National Park, Zion National Park, and Great Basin National Park (including Lehman Caves).
There are several campgrounds—both private and in state parks along the way to park your RV and rest.
