'twas a while ago that I posted and the responses were terrific, so here I go again...
G'day everyone.
She who must be obeyed and I were planning on, when I retire in a couple of years, buying an RV and wintering in the US (rather than Oz) for the forseeable future - that way we would only see summer! using the different hemispheres!! Well here down under the weather has turned and it's getting cold. We have some leave looming and she blithely sits and muses, 'couldn't we hire a van in the US and go there for our hol's?' So, without offering too much comment (so as not to raise hope or commit to an idea - I've been married a lvery ong time) I looked at hire RV's on the web and after some frustration didn't much think a lot of that idea, thought the exercise was a bit pricey. Not to be beaten (you see a few weeks ago there was a tv show about a couple of poms (sorry Brits) drinking their way around California's wine region that caught my attention and became an ambition - I live on the back door of the Barossa Valley in South Australia, where we make much of our plonk) an idea looms. Rather than a van, perhaps a car and use cabins because it's almost an rv life style. I can use the free visa entry (90 days without visa) and slip in and out and have a look at the RV scene - almost a good plan methinks.
Now the question, can anyone give me a quick idea of small cabin cost in your RV parks and is there any advantage to joining a club (we have touring clubs in Oz). I find the web sites really labourious to negotiate so if someone could give me a quick heads up I would appreciate it.
Thanks
