    Our dream RV National Park Trip

    Seriously rethink what you want from this trip. I live in UK and did a coast to coast trip 2 years ago with 1 week in the RV just to see if we liked it or not, when we had the car mile munching was fine but in the RV it was a different story. We are back again next year with 16 days in the RV...

    Where Has All the Storage Gone?

A Lot of you guys have had RV's for years so i understand your pain but coming from a person that rented their...

    Best Route?

    Funny enough I just put them two destinations into google maps and what you suggested is the actual route google came up with, I did do Albuquerque to Flagstaff last year and there was some interesting sites along the way. If you do use I40 then turn off at Gallup and visit the El Rancho...

    renting RV and Travel Trailers Issues

    Coming from a person living in Guernsey Channel islands we will be renting again next year to go touring. I was amazed the last time we rented from a big rental dealer (not someone renting their own RV) and the RV was just over a year old and it was a bit worse for wear in places, the steering...
