Wanna help out a 75 yr old virgin?

HEY!!!!!Ignore all my previous questions. Nope---no RV--I'm gonna rent a convertable and will need a hotel room for 6 or 7 nights in and around Utah. Is it neccessary to prebook hotel rooms in September or can I get a room where ever I decide to stop for the night? Because it is the end of the season I would think the vacancy rate would be in my favor. Frank


Yep! I have never been RV en. Will be renting a class B 21 ft van in Las Vegas next year. My main concern at this time is the use, maintenance and emptying of toilet tanks. Water tank 21G--Grey ( is this for licquid waste?) 15G and Black (solid waste?) 11G. Nowmal use by two adults during an 8 day trip. Just how often would these tanks need to be refilled and purged?
Once I get comfortable with this chore I am sure to be back asking for more help from you good people. Thanks Frank

Thank you all for your advise and community spirit. Would you believe that I may be renting a convertiable instead. The wife and I are concerned about the need to reserve the RV so far in advance. The cancellation policies of these companies is very strict and costly which requires an additiional expenditure of about $400 for travel insurance and if you need it you still lose money on the deal. The cost of the car rental, motel and food would only be a few hundred dollars more and travelling in that enviornment with the top down should be visually stimulating. Again, thanks for you input.
