Hi, I don't know if I'm on the right topic, because I'm looking for tips not to buy but to sell the motorhome my parents bought as they started their journey through the U.S. They're going to leave from Washington D.C. and would like to sell the motorhome in Maryland as taxes are lower there...

Hello everyone! Today it's exactly 5 months since my parents arrived in Miami from Italy and finally I joined them in the U.S.! We are now in Colorado and I'm visiting Colorado and Utah with them before going back to Italy in 3 weeks. I wanted to let you know that they obtained an extension of...

Lee, I'm happy you and your wife enjoyed your stay in Italy. Unfortunately hearthquakes were frequent in the last years, but I hope you'll be able to come to Europe again and have a great time. Francesca

Hi everyone, I wanted to let you know that my parents has arrived in the U.S. and everything is going well despite some difficulties. As expected they didn't obtain a 9-month-authorisation although they have a return ticket, but the officer at the airport was very nice and gave them papers and...

Gary, they are buying one from Cruise America. So is what I mentioned above not necessary? For what insurances should they ask for? Mike, I know Seabridge but it wasn't a good option as my parents wanted to leave in January, so they would have had to drive from Italy to the north of Germany with...

Thank you Michael and AndraF. In fact I hadn't understood what rest areas are. It's clearly dangerous and my parents wouldn't sleep there. They never did so in Europe. Michael, thank you very much for your compliment! My mother was an English teacher, so there won't be problems with the...

Hi everyone, since I "disappeared" from the forum we have had several problems, but we have found solutions to make it possible for my parents to travel as they wanted. So, provided CBM, FDA etc. won't stop them, they're arriving in Miami next week! Unfortunately we had to refrain from shipping...

Dear RV friends, the more I work to plan my parents' trip, the more I'm concerned about putting them in trouble if I don't do everything right, particularly with the custom. Do you know exactly what limitations are there for importing goods? I'm particularly concerned about prescribed drugs. My...

I see, another problem to solve! Thank you very much for your help.

Dear Bob, I'm sorry I can't see this page anymore. Could you please tell me how to find the converter you suggested me again? Thank you very much, Francesca

Thank you very much to all of you for your suggestions. Quick replies: - Visas: my parents have already obtained them. In fact they asked for 9 months and they obtained 10 years! - Shipping italian RV vs buying one in the U.S.: we are aware that the first option is much more difficult for many...

Hello Rick and thank you for your reply! Unfortunately I'm not in the U.S., but I hope my parents will be able to come soon and then I'll try to visit them! I already posted some questions in the topic "Visitors to the U.S.", but I will come back to you for more information if needed. Bye, Francesca

Hello, I'm here on behalf of my parents, who would like to travel through the U.S. for 9 months with their own italian RV (which type? maybe a class C motorhome, but I think it's too small to fit in any american category!) My parents want to bring their own RV to the U.S. for various reasons and...

Hi to everyone! I'm here on behalf of my parents, who would like to travel through the U.S. for nine months with their own italian RV. I have a bunch of questions that I will post on "Visitors to the USA", but I just wanted to say hi in here as a polite new member! Thank you in advance for your...
