Can someone help me plan a 10-14 day RV vacation?

Starting from Long Island, NY, along with my wife of 30 years and a few friends, I intend to explore America by RV next Summer or Fall, via unconventional roadways. I want to visit sites of interest (historical landmarks, beautiful vistas, etc.), stop at little-known-local-popular eateries (where we can visit with non-tourists), attend local events in parks and theatres (artisitic, musical, cultural), and plenty of diversity. I want to experience America as-it-is. I'm looking for many people to respond with simple answers - one or two suggestions - like one diner/restaurant that you think is outstanding but you won't find in a Zagat's rated book or some travel related magazine article, its best dish and the location; or one event, like an undiscovered, annual Summer concert-in-the-park that people look forward to seeing, its location and date/time; or an annual Street Fair, or Art Exhibit, its location, and date/time. I have no itinerary; I'm starting here with an idea and a question.

1. I would try the Rand McNally site, they have a travel planning tool that is excellent and it will also tell you all of the things that are happening and the points of interest along the way.
2. There isn't enough room here for me to answer everything you ask. Without knowing what kind of RV you have doesn't allow me to point you in the right direction. If you have a motorhome, as my wife of 36 years & I do you would need to join The Family Motor Coach Association for their benifits. If you own a travel trailer or 5th wheel, join the Good Sam RV Club. Their monthly magazine has many good articles for people like you. Yearly they ask members to list favorite RV things. Best shopping, WalMart, best sit down resturant, Cracker Barrel. The list goes on & on. You would get an idea, from RVer's on things RVer's do. I suggest a GPS system for traveling, expecially back roads. We use a laptop with DeLorme Street Atlas. It has never sent us on a wrong road. We travel, mainly interstates to get to the area we wish to visit, then we use other roads. Sorry I must go now. Visit my blog on Yahoo 360 for sites we have seen on our travels. E-mail me and I'll load you up with all the info you need
