I'd give you some more advice but I believe you've got enough to consider. Enjoy your trip and relax.

We're down near the southern epicenter just a causeway away. We did mingle with the crowds the Saturday before Mardi Gras in the French Markets and had lunch at a restaurant on Jackson Square. No health concerns since then though many here had some crud back in mid January. What it was, who knows. Personally not worried about that whatever the outcome might be no reason to fear the end. We'll be here at least till the end of the month and if everything goes well we'll head out to Idaho for our summer gig.

Not really concerned about traveling as we are secure in place and welcome to stay. Our summer gig is more than a month away. We were going to leave this coming Sunday but with our usual overnight stops closed, USACE parks, and everything closed near the daughter we'll just stay and play it by ear. With luck things will workout an we can get on with life.

We never let 30 amp deter us from a volunteer position we are interested in. It is true we have eased into boondocking from 3-4 days till tanks were full or empty about ten days. Finally we got up to ten weeks volunteering on gen for power, septic holding tank and hauling our potable water 80 miles when needed. So now unless the temps require 2 AC's or there is no on site W/D we manage fine on 30amp and our fridge now is residential.

The first RV park we stayed at other than the free nights in Chanute was a KOA in Branson MO for three nights. We stayed at another about six months later and another a year after that. Our discount card had expired by then. We have not renewed. We do stop at KOA for an occasional overnight and always received friendly service but seldom used any amenities other than basic EWS. We find that the prices vary depending on the area and the amenities provided.

It depends on the needs of the facility We have worked with singles, we have worked with couples where only one worked. It also depends on how many have applied and how many rv sites are available.

Cost us $7,500.00 for two weeks in Hawaii. Once in a lifetime well worth it, if I had some extra $'s would make it twice in a lifetime. The most we've paid for a campground was $45 in BC since there was another within 50 miles and we wanted to stop we paid it and were happy with it. If I wanted to stay at one of those locations for the experience I'd just drink cheap beer for awhile instead of craft brew. I never want to say "I should have".

I had a Thetford sewer hose lasted 5 years fulltime use, replaced it with a Rhino Flex you have to take what's available in AK.

Your best bet is a few months at Amazon Peak, pay, overtime over 40, compleation bonus, campsite included. a couple can earn 10,000 or more in 10-12 weeks.
