Hello folks,
While we wait and prepare for the right moment to move to the US and start RVing fulltime, we are planning our next RVing trip. It will be 18 days long during next November (exact dates not decided yet), and we want to see a few national parks in CA and NV (here's a map of our planned route and stops so far).
Apart from the recreational value, we want this trip to have some "educational" value for us, mainly on the day-to-day routine of towing and living in a 5thWheel (all our experience so far has been on motorhomes) and also on living for extended periods away from cities and nearer Nature, be it drycamping, boondocking on full-hookup campsites.
We are planning on the trip to start/end near San Jose/CA, as we have friends living there (and one of them will be possibly accompanying us during part of our trip), so ideally the depot where we will pick up the vehicles would be located somewhere near it; on the other hand, it's not too hard to pick them up somewhere near our proposed route.
We are having great difficulty finding places where we can rent a 5thWheel and suitable truck; so far we found just one, Family RV, and they have only one 5thWheel for rental (a Montana 3400RL, coincidentally one of the maker/models we have been thinking about purchasing for our Fulltime RVing when the time comes).
Does anyone know (and/or can recommend) any companies or internet sites somewhere near our route where we can research and rent a 5thWheel and truck? As we are not in the USA right now, a company where we can do that over the Internet (or at least over the phone) is necessary.
Thanks in advance,
