If one has never camped before a cross country trip to learn everything may not be the best plan.
A few weekend trips before would help insure a better trip.
Then one can focus on the trip and less on "how do I ...."
Good Luck, Mike
Dayum I just hate it when Ican't get to the end of a thread without replying (again...)
Our first trip was gonna be a rental. fly to seatle, rent a class C, and drive up and down the coast with 2 friends and thier families. The more i looked into it, the more I didn't like it. That rental was empty. Not so much as a plate or a towel. KACHING if you wanted any of those.
I ended up buying a '99 pace arrow for 30k. We put 6300 miles on here in 5 weeks, and we were hooked, line and sinker.
Couple years later, traded for a used DP with a twenty year mortgage, I am still hooked. No place I sleep better than in my camper, and no place I am happier than cruising down the highway with that big cummins diesel whispering somewhere "back there"
