Hello,
We are an Australian couple visiting the USA in April 2008. We would love to hire an RV to travel around for approximately a month. We have a 1 year old so i think this is really the way to go, rather than staying in motels. Plus we love camping and my husband is a part time truck driver when the farming work is quiet so will have no problems with lots of driving (we live in rural australia and are used to travelling!).
Like everything that i reasearch for my trip to the USA - i am overwhelmed with the amount of rentals out there. I have been looking at the big companies web sites, as well as renting direct through an owner. The prices are varied too, although surprisingly i find some private owners more expensive (although i am wary of hidden costs with the rental companies).
We are considering a couple of options. Renting a smaller size class C RV so that it is easier to get around in. Although i'm not sure if spending a month in one of them would be ideal as they are a little cramped i suppose. The other option would be to hire a class A size (they really do look like a home away from home). But if we did that we would really need to tow a vehicle beind it as well. But i just can't seem to find anywhere that will hire out both the motorhome and tow vehicle. Can anybody help us to find someone who does this?
If we hired a class C rv we will probably only travel in it for 2-3 weeks instead depending on what state we hire from. And the rest of our trip will be spend hopefully in hotels with kitchen facilities (don't think eating out all the time is ideal for our toddler that's all).
We don't have any plans set in concrete yet as to what state we would hire from. I am just searching all states because we can certainly fly in and pick it up. On our travels we know we will want to visit Kansas, as we are interested in seeing wheat farming in that area.
Any of your comments or suggestions would be appreciated.
