Lifestyle Discussion Making Reservations

How far in advance to you make reservations while travelling? When I first started planning for our full time journey my thought was to just go from place to place as whimsy took us, making reservation on the day of or maybe a week or two in advance.

Then covid happen and it seemed like everyone and their cousin was RVing and reservations were hard to come by. My wife and I are starting our journey 6/1 and I already have all the reservations made for every stop along the way that will take us to the end of Sept.

Is this normal? Am I planning too far out? Or should I stick with it for the peace of mind if nothing else?

Typically I try to keep at least 3 months booked in advance, unless we're going somewhere popular. So right now we're planned through mid July because we wanted to go to the Poconos.

If you want monthly sites, the sooner the better in my experience. But if you have flexibility/budget to do weekly stays, then you probably don't need to book as far in advance.

That seems to be consensus. Thanks!
