My Wife and I have just purchased our first US sticker map to go with our new RV. I was curious if people have their own "rules" or traditions for when they put a new state up. Is it enough to just drive through the state of do you explore a certain amount first?

My daughter and I add a sticker if we camp the night in a different state. This year we put number 50 on the map.

Purists would say that you have to camp in that state, others use "drive thru" as reason enough.

I'd go by your own reasoning and explain later if anyone questions it.

Everyone has their own rules, so decide what yours are and have fun with it.

Yep, your map, your rules. Have heard the "if you put a foot in the state, sticker it", to only states camped in, to only states made "whoopie" in.

It's fun to hear what other people do with their maps. Personally, we only mark a state if we have spent at least one night in that state with the motorhome. We have to pay for a site for it to count, overnight at Walmart or Flying J doesn't count, lol !!

It is fun to hear about. Gives a little insight into how people have decided to explore this continent we live on. When we bought our first sticker map it struck me as to the lifestyle we're now venturing in to. The thought was more like "Wow, look at all the places we can go now". It's not that we haven't been traveling and camping, quite the contrary. It's more a freedom from plane flights, putting the dogs in kennels, and other people's/companies time line for living.

It feels more like wandering, exploring then anything we've done before. We can actually stop and take our time because we're taking our house with us hehe. I really get a kick out of that. Kitchen, bathroom, bed, couch, tv....I'm good lol.
