3. We would be renting from an individual and probably picking it the day before just to better manage our time.

The latter seems completely out of the question after reading the replies and giving it some thought.
4. I thought about a motorhome being a good solution too. However i figured getting travel trailer would be practice for our eventual purchase.
5. We would choose a fairly close campground for anything less than a week. No sense is wasting time driving far.
Thanks for all the replies. I'll wait till my wife can get some time from work and do a thurs-mon. Our long vacation is already set so that ate up her time and it's a new job. On a side note...i'm finding the 6 people to a campground limit frustrating. Is that more so a RV park rule and not something you'd see at a more primitive campground? I'd like to have nieces and nephews join us.
