RV Tours
Hello! Does anyone have experience with RV Tour packages such as Adventure Caravan, etc? We are looking for a longer trip and this might be just the thing. They do seem rather pricey. Any thoughts out...

In December 2001 we took Camping World Tours “On & Beyond the Mississippi” RV River Barge Trip. It was great! These tours are no longer offered, but if they start up again sign up for it. This has been trip we will remember for the rest of our lives. Now we can say “Been There Done That”.
Here is part of their write up.
2001 Christmas On & Beyond the Mississippi RV River Barge December 2 - 9, 2001.
On this tour we will load our RVs onto a specially designed river barges that will become our "floating campground" for the next 6 days. Our "cruising campground" gives us all the comfort and convenience of great camping and adds all the adventure and exploration of marvelous cruising as we travel On & Beyond the Mississippi through the famous Gulf Intra-Coastal Waterway, the Louisiana Bayou, the Bayou Boeuf Locks along the Port Allen Route to the Bayou Sorrel Locks; and, of course, the Mighty Mississippi River. We'll also dock at the River Front near the French Quarter in New Orleans. If ever you wanted to get away from it all and relax and enjoy, this is the perfect cruise for you and your RV. Don't forget the camera, there will be plenty of time to savor the season.
NOTE: Many activities will be planned on board during our cruising days. Our tour will include the "Party Barge" which is a completely enclosed barge with kitchen.
This was 3 barge hooked together the middle barge called the party barge with on the roof observation deck all pushed by Miss Georgie. The two RV barges each held 11 or 12 RV’s. . We tied up each night along our trip.
