Do you have any familiarity with the states? The National Parks are very majestic to be sure but it's mostly all pretty scenery. The vast expanses of the US are mind boggling to those of you from Europe. 2 weeks can be burned up in seeing just Yellowstone, The Grand Canyon and any of the parks in Utah. The big question you need to ask yourself is what kind of experience do you want to have. Do you want to drive long distances to see different landscapes or do you want to have some city type of entertainment at hand like visiting museums or brew pubs or wineries? What are your interests? The children are very young and will do what you do.
Your Parks are truly majestic and A M A Z I N G. We are more inclined towards nature.

What type of RV are you thinking of renting? A large Class A motorhome or a larger Class C? There is no such thing a privacy in an RV really. They are just too small for much of that. Never having driven one before do you think you can handle driving it alright? Give us some more info on what you all enjoy doing.
These are EXACTLY the kind of questions that we need to ask ourselves but, in reality, we don't even know which these questions are.
So, let me answer your questions and pose a few more:
> We don't know what type of RV we should rent. We are posting here to get some ideas. Pls advice. We like privacy but understand that there will be very, very little. If possible, 2 separate sleeping compartments? Is it feasible/possible at all? We have never driven large lorries. Only large SUVs (I have driven main battle tanks and Hummers but, I guess, that that won't help us here) so another area where we need advice, and we know nothing about, is vehicle agility. We also need to strike a balance between cost/privacy/comfort. Please, can you offer some price/space parameters?
> We have no idea what a class A, B or C is/are. pls, can you explain?
> A bit of general info as you ask:
We like outdoors in general.
Perhaps fishing? Swimming for the little girls?
Mainly we hope to do some mountain biking in your Parks.
My friend is good with BBQ so lots of that.
We are not very interested in cities.
We will land in LA and fly out of LA.
We can do long drives as there are two of us.
We expect to ride on non paved roads.
We hope to rent an RV with shower, AC, oven/gas range, cooking set, fridge, TV with Netflix of Hulu/Vudu, (maybe even fishing rods?)...
Pls advise good extras/options to ask for.
I don't really even know what to write to ask for to look out for or prepare for.
Basically, tell us anything you would tell a first time renter...
Thanks for your time!
