Hi everyone, my name's Mike from England.
Myself and my girlfriend are in the process of renting an RV (Class C 25ft Moturis R25) in September 2008 with the aim of doing San francisco to Los angeles, San Diego and back to LA over 12 nights, so before then, and before i confirm the booking i have a few things to ask the experts.
I can see how RV'ing could escalate into seriously complicated if you're new to it! and therefore the rental companies can add on charges and taxes here, there and everywhere for people who don't fully understand what's involved. Would i be right?
Firstly i'm after some tips about the route from anyone who is familiar with this bit of coast. What i was thinking was maybe head inland to Yosemite etc. then back out and down past Big Sur, Santa Barbara etc. It looks really amazing.
Second- Generators. The RV company want to know whether i want to pay for generator use on return, at $3 plus tax per generator hour used! or $12 a night for unlimited.
Now i have no idea how much i'll be using the generator as yet so i thought maybe someone with some experience could give me rough guide for 2 people, 12 nights in September? i don't want a nasty surprise at the end obviously!
Any help would be appreciated.
We're brand new to this but really up for learning all about it in the next few months so we can make the most of our trip.
Thanks
