New Jersey, here.
Don't miss Cape May...it is at the very southern tip of the state and is beautiful. Wonderful little town full of restored Victorian homes and pedestrian downtown with cute shops and restaurants.
The Cape May is a wonderful place to spend the day at the beach...New Jersey has some of the most beautiful beaches on the eastern seaboard.
Then, up the coast some is Atlantic City..Everyone should spend a day or two there.
In New Jersey, you are within easy driving distance of the cities of Philadelphia - you could spend a week there visiting the historic places like Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell and the new Constitution museum....plus, Philly is a lovely city, very walkable. Then a coupla hours you are in the "Big Apple".

Um, ok I am in SC and I think it might be fun to crusie down here and head towards beaufort, SC and Savannah, ga.....first, the beaches are lovely and far less crowded than yours....there is a place called Hunting Island, SC and it is so beautiful...You can camp there or just come through and dip your toes in....as it is a state park......also, it is about 20 miles past beaufort, sc, which--along with savannah, ga--is where they shot 99% of Forrest Gump. The history alone is reason enough to visit these places, but the southern charm and the beautiful scenery are just as compelling....I would also try out Charleston, SC, but it isn't nearly as peaceful and easy to navigate in an RV as the others are. Have fun!!

VIRGINIA: Yorktown, Williamsburg, Washington D.C (plan on a few days)...the Holocaust Museum, WW2 Memorial, Korean War Memorial, The WALL. Luray Caverns. George Washington's home Mt. Vernon, Norfolk Naval Base bus tour (civilians aren't allowed to tour the base unescorted anymore), the Atlantic Ocean. That's just the tip of the ice burg.
Virginia Beach is pretty much dead in March. But I'm pretty lively year 'round!
Ask SLK about HER town. Been there and I LOVE it.

Ditto on the DC area...check though with capitolkoa.com on sites for the RV...you'll have mega probllems parking in downtown DC - the sites there are self explanatory given it is the nation's capital.
MD - Baltimore is only 38 miles from DC - visit the National Aquarium..a MUST see - it is located in Inner Harbor which is a site to see also
Virginia - Mt. Vernon; Old Town Alexandria; Virginia Beach.
Sounds like grand fun..ENJOY!

If you are up to it, (there's a lot of walking involved), Bushkill Falls in PA is a wonderful sight, especially in early summer (when it's not too hot) or early fall (when the leaves change).
I also recommend the Centre County Grange Encampment and Fair, (known locally as "The Grange Fair") located in Centre Hall, PA. It's like a state fair, carnival, camping trip, and extended family reunion all in one. People come from all over the country, and there's always something to do, see, or eat.

Visit our nations capital. While there visit the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall. Visit the Chesapeake Bay area and taste the best seafood in the country.
St. Louis, MO has the Arch and the Budweiser brewery.

I am from southern Florida and visited there last October. My favorite place is Everglades National Park. They even have a campground. I had never been there growing up and it impressed me very much. I hope you have a wonderful, safe trip.

If you have said August, I'd have plenty to recommend... March in Maine, probably not a great idea unless you love to downhill.
