thanks folks
We do have some nearby state parks but the ones I know of are small, they're mostly just for parking and hiking or fishing for the day, i've never seen any campers there. I was thinking something like the poconos would be good.. around here people with vacation homes either go there, or they have a shore house in NJ. Gettysburg would be cool for me, but my girlfriend isn't into history stuff so she would be bored there probably :) Hershey might be cool. I know there's a few wineries around, I think she'd be into that if there were places we could go wine tasting or whatever.
I was thinking we would go for a long weekend more in early spring, like late April or early May, I figured there would be less people around. We wouldn't be traveling anywhere on any holiday weekends, those are always stay home weekends for us. We hate traffic :)
There's a place called Cruise America near us so I figured we would rent from them, are they good? I checked some dates and it seems like we could do a weekend for less than $300 in their large Class C's. I know of one RV dealer nearby, but when I went to their website and clicked the rental button it said they weren't renting right now. Or do you usually have to go and act like you want to buy it, and then they'll let you rent to try it out?
We both drive smaller cars, so we wouldn't be able to get a towable RV and if anything we'll be downsizing our daily drivers for better gas mileage in the future. We don't have a need for a big truck, so we'd have to get a full motorhome when the time comes. I really like the look of the new Winnebago Brave, but I think it might be out of our price range. I'd like to try and find something used but in good shape, maybe just a couple years old, just to save a little. We'll probably head over to that dealer one of these weekends and look around.
