That is an excellent description of traveling through North America by RV and I thank you for your time.
My wife and I have considered it and decided that we will rent rather than buy. I’ve driven heavy Army vehicles so “getting qualified” won’t be a problem; I’ve seen some really old fogies behind the wheel of RV’s we have passed (I’m one, too) so it can’t be rocket science.
I know the food on board will be great and no ripoffs on alcohol. ;^)
My Army buddy is hitting the road with his RV & family next month so I look forward to pics. Lots to see on youtube, too.
Done with foreign travel, like done, done, done! Decades ago Lady Bird Johnson told us to “see America first”. Good advice since the rest of the world wants to move here anyway, we must already be in the right location.
“My wife and I have considered it and decided that we will rent rather than buy.”
Renting is a good option to try the RV life. We looked at renting and decided to by a three year old lightly used RV from a couple who decided they didn’t like It. We figured (correctly) with the former owners taking the big initial depreciate, we could probably sell it in a year for most of what we had in it. It turns out we liked both the trailer and the RV lifestyle. We’ve been meticulous about maintaining the trailer (you can do most of the work yourself), so she’s still rolling nine years later with many thousands of memorable miles. The best thing about the RV life is the great people you meet all over the country.
Good luck to you. I hope you enjoy the adventure.
