RE: How many miles a day can we go?
This a large question. When we were 19 and traveling long distances we would shoot for 700 miles a day. I did that for years even driving alone. Now 500 miles seems like a lot. The old cars and highways were much slower.
The amount of miles you can drive and the amount you should drive are not the same. You have to carefully judge how tired (and cranky) your crew or family get under the conditions you subject them to. You can have a big day if the next day is a rest day. Multiple driving days in a row can wear everyone out.
You have to experiment to find out what is right for you and your companions. Now I am retired and older so I like 300 miles or less and to be stopped by 1500.
For some, traveling long days and taking pictures of the entrance signs of NPs is enough. It does not work for me at all.

RE: Colorado and Wyoming need rec places to stay
You can use public land. You do not need a park or official campground except around Denver.
Judging by the list of cities, all along I25, I doubt there is much public land available. Maybe a city or county park besides what has been suggested.
All of these towns are pretty small. Sometimes there are city and county parks. There is also public land right outside of town. RV parks can be convenient for visiting cities, but I avoid them when ever possible.

RE: Yellowstone in October
Yellowstone in October can be like a dream.
It can also be a winter trip.
You have to get some luck with the weather.

RE: Florida to Wyoming travel concerns
RV parks nearly always have the highest density of people. I would emphasize USFS campgrounds and boondocking if I were you .

RE: Switching from 12 volt to 6 volt batteries
run your refrigerator on propane.
You need solar or a gen to bring your batteries up every day or you will ruin them. They are not designed to go under 30-50 % charge very many times. they are definitely not designed to go all the way down every trip.

RE: hauling trailer to Alaska
Adjust your thinking. The North is the Great Wide Open. Talk of Wal-Mart parking lots and state parks is absurd. There are 100,000 places to camp for free. You can be next a river almost anytime you want.
I like early Sept for traveling in the Interior. The tourists are gone, it is fall. Everyone is getting their wood cut and trying to kill a moose to get through the winter. The Northern Lights are out most nights.

The United States is a dangerous place to travel to.
Many countries will not allow Americans to visit.

RE: Concrete driveway thickness??
Concrete highways are normally 4 inches thick to stand up to truck traffic. Call some contractors and ask them. You might be right on the margin of safety.

RE: Yellowstone in October
The Plateau is high in elevation. The snow can get serious after Labor Day. October is late for Yellowstone. There should be some spaces available but you have to think of it as a winter type trip.
When National Parks get quiet in the late fall, they stop taking reservations for most campsites that are still open because the demand falls off rapidly. I like the off-season best. Off season in Yellowstone can have a lot of snow by October. It can be really cold by then, it is the luck of the draw. Cold as in zero of even lower.
