We took a 'paid' caravan tour in 2004 and it was the best vacation we have ever had. If I had the money I would do it again in a NY heart beat. Problem, they a very expensive. Figure in 2015 the cost will be about $9000 for a 50 day tour, plus or minus a day or buck, plus fuel cost. On our trip I drove 12K miles and spent about the same. Before you eliminate a paid tour be sure to check them out. There are about 5 different tour companies. The tours will keep you busy and you will do more than if you are alone. For those who will tell you that you have to travel as a group or must be at a specific location at a specific time, that is bull scat.
You can PM me if you would like more info on our tour.
