Hello All,
Our US Tour is getting really close now - only 3 months or so to go !!
We would appreciate any help with the following list of questions please.........(thanks for any and all input) :-
Diesel Pusher
1. What would you consider to be the minimum requirement for pulling a small toad........300 hp, 330 hp, etc etc.
2. Would we be better ordering at dealer and collecting at factory......if so, why.
3. BEST Diesel RV dealers in Orlando/Tampa area (we know Lazydays).
4. VERY BEST dealers elsewhere who are worth flying to.
Toad
1. Recommended SMALL car for towing - used budget of $15k.
2. BEST USED dealers in Orlando (and surrounding) area.
3. Any websites that I can use to search for used cars (with prices) in Orlando.
4. Is registering a used vehicle the same as new vehicle - ie 30 days in which to register in home state (in my case SD).
5. What would you expect to discount a displayed price on a used car, if anything.
Fuel Discounts
1. Whats Discount Cards are available with a simple sign-up - given that we will have SD mail address, but we CANNOT get a US Credit Card.
Campground Discounts
1. Excluding Good Sam / Passport America / KOA, what other good value discount schemes are there - we wil be staying approx 350-475 nights over 12/18 months (USA & Canada).
Cell Phones
1. Recommendations for a US wide cell phone service with no roaming charges - ideally pay as you use rather than contract (due to none US Citizens).
2. As above but for Canada.
Silly Questions ? - but not for us newbies
Ok, firstly, excuse me if these seem really petty to you guys, but we were just wondering.......
1. Do you hang washing out to dry at a campsite or rely on dryers (in RV or on-site).
2. During posted "Quiet Times" on campgrounds, does that include sitting outside the RV chatting or just refer to engines/generators/tv etc.
3. Do you get Eastenders and Coronation Street on cable over there (Ann-Marie will kill me for asking that one? ;D).
Thanks for any feedback guys.
