The stops aren't the hard part. Everyone finds the Kancamagus. The order is what makes or breaks the trip, and almost nobody gets it right.
We built the week as a one-way arc, coast to lake or vice versa, so you never drive the same road twice and never double back. Every leg lists the miles, the drive time, and the road to take instead of the one your GPS wants.
Three base camps, seven days. Two nights on the Maine coast, three in the White Mountains, then Vermont for the finish, so you're never tearing down mid-region.

YOUR DAY-BY-DAY PLAN
Seven days ordered around the drive, not the map. Follow the arc in sequence, or run it backward if you're coming from the other direction.
RV-SPECIFIC INSIDER TIPS
Which scenic drives ban RVs outright, where to park the big one, and what to see from the tow vehicle instead.
AVOID THE WRONG ROADS
Reach Stowe on Route 100 and I-89 and it's an easy two and a half hours. Let the GPS send you over Smugglers' Notch and you're wedged between boulders on a hairpin, with fines that start around $1,000. The guide names every road to refuse and the safe way around each one.
TIME IT FOR SUMMER OR FALL FOLIAGE
The route runs May through October, and the guide tunes it either way. Which weeks peak where, why leaf season is the one time you drive this route in reverse, and when the black flies finally quit.
All seven days, region by region. The campgrounds worth booking, the passes, the ferries, the splurges. The two-basecamp version included.
It reads like a plan, not a brochure. Every leg has the miles and the drive time next to it.
Three base camps, one direction. You never drive the same road twice and never double back.
Each map flags the roads that ban RVs and where to leave the trailer. Works with zero signal.
Portland to Lincoln, 90 miles and under two hours, so you're set up by early afternoon. Then 34 miles of Kancamagus with no gas, food, or lodging the whole way.
Roll onto the Kanc without fueling first and the day gets very quiet. Same road, different trip.
NEVER PLAN AN RV TRIP THE HARD WAY AGAIN.

We're Swervia, and we build trip plans for RVers who'd rather know the details than wing it. Figuring out the coast-to-mountain order, the roads that ban RVs, the base camps that fit a luxury motorcoach, and the 34 miles without a gas station meant a lot of driving, a lot of phone calls, and more vehicle-restriction fine print than anyone should have to read. That research is the guide. It's free, it works with zero signal, and it's yours in about a minute.
YOU MIGHT ONLY VISIT NEW ENGLAND ONCE. DON'T WING IT.
