    At Moab, we've stayed at Spanish Trail Campground ( https://spanishtrailrvpark.com )and liked it.  It is convenient to Arches and Canyonlands.  At Capitol Reef, we were looking at Wonderland RV Park in Torrey, but we had to cancel.  http://www.capitolreefrvpark.com

    Ruby's is nice near Bryce ( https://www.brycecanyoncampgrounds.com )

    Don't know what to tell you for Zion.  I know there are some that are supposed to be pretty good, but I haven't been to any of them.

    We enjoy September.  We stayed at Moab and really enjoyed taking our time through Arches and Canyonlands (Island in the Sky section).  Spectacular scenery.  Also really enjoy Bryce and Zion.  Need to get to Capitol Reef sometime.

    jleamont, I am a retired mechanical engineer and do not see any major issues between a large modern 5th wheel and a large diesel truck.  We all use the same appliances, and same systems for water and waste.  My 5er has hydraulic levelers, residential fridge, PSW inverter, solar panels, automatic satellite dish, hydraulic slides, etc.  The diesel truck has coolers for the transmission and engine, filters, brakes, tires, etc.  

    The 5er has suspension and brakes that are designed for a 5er, not a motorhome, so here are some differences.  But there are more similarities than differences.  A towable and a motorized unit towing a dinghy each have issues parking and maneuvering.  Having had motorhomes, bumper pulls, 5ers, pop ups and tents, each is a little different and you get what is suited to the way you travel and RV.  As I continue to age, I will probably migrate back to a smaller motorhome just for the ease in moving about.

    As for the RV lifestyle, we all enjoy the comradeship of others.  We have met great people in all sorts of RVs and then we have also met some really undesirable people in all sorts of RVs.  We find lots of construction workers following their jobs and they always have towables and use the truck for work.

    I am a ham radio operator and we are facing issues in trying to get more people in the hobby.  The governing bodies are looking to open up more frequencies to the lowest class license holders.  This is not setting well with those of us that have studied and passed the exams to operate on these frequencies.  Here the new guys are getting a free ride.  Is this right?  We will find out over the next year.

    Have a great day folks, in what ever type RV you use.

    Well said.  Same can be said for the combination of my truck and travel trailer.
