Hi everyone
As complete new comers to the RV world I am hoping to get help and advice before I buy an RV to tour the USA/Canada.
I am currently planing a Year break from work in the UK. Part of this (about 4 months) will be spent in the USA and Canada.
My plan is instead of hiring a car and paying Hotel/Motel bills, we would buy a used, ready to drive RV and then try to re-sale the RV before leaving.
I have had a look on the Internet and found some excellent looking vehicles for (by UK standards) ridiculously cheap prices. From what I have seen I believe I can get a used RV around 27' that can sleep 4 and last the 4 months that I need for under $16000.
Now the Questions...
1. Has anyone any experience or knowledge of a non US citizen buying and registering a RV, what sort of time scales are involved?
2. Is it easy to get insurance? Any suggestion for best places to go for insurance.
3. Is there a Maximum size vehicle that I would be able to drive on a standard "UK" driving license?
Any general advice on RV choice?
Well that will do for a start, I look forward to hearing from you.
