Not sure where the Vistana area is but we kept our RV at Handy storage whilst staying in a villa on the Esprit estate just off the 192 on highway 27. Their web site is here http://www.personalministorage.com/self_storage/Davenport_FL/zip_33897-9400/personal_mini_storage/203 Very helpful...

Thanks Tom. It's a 1998 year. I will post in the For Sale section once I have got all the details together. Is Craig's list a cross state list or does it just exist in some states? Julie

Apologies for not responding to your replies  - unfortunately 2 days after posting my husband suffered a stroke so things were difficult here and our planned trip in February had to be cancelled. Due to this situation we are definately now going to sell our Winnebago and I will be making a 3...

As a Brit I thought I would add our experience in case it helps. As Tom said we found the best option for a phone was to buy the cheapest equivalent of our pay as you go. Mobiles work very differently in the US. Even with the pay as you go each package you buy includes so much credit and so...

Hi all Some of you may remember us from previous postings looking for advice on our adventures in the US. We are now into our fourth and probably final year - air flights are becoming increasingly expensive so flying out 3 or 4 times a year to use our RV for only 3 weeks each time is now not a...

OK - First stop Walmarts for Mosquito Repellant and a phone.  :D

Thank you for your replies - we think we will take a chance and not prebook. It is difficult to do from England because of payment and we don't have a cell phone once in the US.  I have to say June wouldn't be our choice for a Florida vacation but we are travelling with friends and they are tied...

Yes we guess California is less rigid than other states because they are just happy to take our money!!  Thanks for the help - this forum has been a great source of info and advice throughout our travels. julie

Hi all We are from England and have been spending sometime touring US in a RV we bought there in 2009.  In February we spent 2 weeks travelling into Florida and found it very difficult to get sites being totally unaware of the snowbirds!  (How naieve are we!) We are returning to Florida in June...

Apologies for very late response - just remembered to update this.  Thank you so much we did send statement of facts to DMV and are now awaiting issue of the tags - evidently they have huge backlogs and be up to 3 months!  As for it being not a goood place to register we have realised that but...

Thanks for the replies guys. Did try to do this but it seems you have to have a Florida licence or ID and to get one of these you have to have a social security no. and proof of residency which we don't. We have friends who in live in Texas so tried to register there too but they needed us to...

Hi there hope this message is in the right place - if not please advise and I will re post. Our Winnebago is registered in California although we are not actually US residents but are from the UK. We have been returning to the US on a regular basis and have gradually travelled from West to East...

Thanks Tony I can't find the 2 parks on our mapping program either but have located the state park. You Americans might think this is a strange question but is there much risk from hurricanes either to the RV in storage in the Miami area or travelling in February and June. From our UK news we...

Thank you Tony and Gary. Tony where did you stay in Key Largo? Gary - it may well make a pleasant change to actually have other people on a campground with us! We do tend to stick to County & State parks where possible and have found on our travels they are very underused. Probably because we...

Our travels around the US are continuning. Having covered parts of California, nevada, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Mississippi, Tennesee, Arkansas, Louisiana we have now stored the RV south of Atlanta and returned home to the UK.  We will be returning in February 2011 for 2 weeks when we...
