Credit Card to use when traveling
We're gonna head out full-time in 1 month (can't wait!). I've got a discover card that gets lousy points and most camp grounds won't take discover anyways. I have a visa but it's tied to my banking ...

I would like to know how much cash should a couple carry ,& do a lot of RVers pay by credit card ?
This is our first time driving down from Alberta , Canada ,any advice would be great !
We do have US debit account.
Where do you hide some important things in a RV.
We used 2 different Visa cards on our Alaskan trip. We're still in BC but getting closer to the lower 48. Our Visa cards have no yearly fees and no Canadian transaction fees. One (PenFed) gives us 5% cash back on fuel. The other gives us 1.5% back on all other purchases every billing cycle. This applies to both US and Canadian purchases. Hopefully you have something similar in Canada. For example at $4/gallon we get back 20 cents/gallon in Canada. Of course no fuel is that cheap in Canada that we found.
Personally I don't get debit cards. We pay our credit card in full monthly and get the above cash back. I understand to some extent the rewards card game but I'm a cash in my pocked guy!
Hide things in the most non obvious place you can find. Anyone that wants can find anything is a short amount of time and if it's a safe they cart it away.
