I am new to RVing, but can tell you what I enjoyed on my last trip there. We stayed at Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park. It was a wooded campground near many good hikes. We took several day hikes from our site. The Lady Bird Johnson loop was easy peasy and very beautiful. We also did a more...

Hi Tom- I am not Wendy, but I ate a tin of tiny tot sardines on a rock very near where that shot was taken, probably 25 years ago. I am looking forward to showing it to my 2 boys (7 and 10) next summer.  :)  I can never get enough of the Sierras.

Carl (or anyone else) I have a few questions about this: Is your understanding of this correct? (from wikitravel: http://wikitravel.org/en/Yosemite ) "WARNING: Traffic along State Route 140, one of the main routes into Yosemite from the west, was blocked after a landslide covered the road...

Hi again Bettey. I finally heard back from El Monte. They have very competitive rates and seem very keen on customer service. Being that our primary residence is in the UK I went through their International Division and they have been exemplory in their professionalism and attention to detail. I...

Hi betty. Thank you very much for your response. I am still waiting to hear back from El Monte rentals. I am hoping they work out as it seems their fleet is newer and in better condition than those with Cruise America. But perhaps it is just a case of El Monte having better web managers who find...

Thank you for the welcome Ron. The only two companies who are able to help us, so far, are Cruise America and El Monte. I am hoping for El Monte, as their RVs look a bit cleaner. Though, it could be they just have a better web manager who gets better photos! Road Bear has gorgeous RVs and...

To clarify I am an American citizen living in the UK. Sorry that was not clear before!

Thank you for replying Carl. I have contacted Cruise America, and have a quote from them. I am waiting on El Monte as they have to callibrate their 2008 rates before they will give me a quote; which sounds rather lame to me. An opertaion as big as that it would seem to me would know that by now...

I have been looking into renting an RV with Cruise America, El Monte, and Road Bear. Just based on their web sites and their personnel on the telephone I like Road Bear best, then El Monte and Cruise America last. But cost seems excessive with all of them. ($3 an hour to run the generator!) We...

My family and I will be renting an RV in Vegas next summer then heading out to places west. Avoiding Death Valley we will go through CA and into OR, ID, MT, WY, SD, MO..... you get the picture. It will be a long trip and we need a good deal. Any recommendations on companies to use for renting an...

Hi Brenda. I am new too. And also in the UK.
