I had been across the Atlantic Ocean, and even traveled to Mexico, but I had never left the Eastern Time Zone! (USA) Craziness… I know…
So in the Summer of 2004, I bought a used 23 foot Mini RV and drove across country, with my boyfriend and two cats!
10,000 miles and 11 National Parks... Wow!
I highly recommend it, however… you must remember you are taking a miniature house with you… houses come with chores… including dealing with the plumbing hook-up! I hope you like poo tubes! (That is what I now affectionately call the sewer hose.) Yes, I said poo, ewwww!
With that in mind, it was still a very rewarding experience, and we went RVing again in North Carolina (August 2005.) I am excited to start writing about it on 43 places!
Unless you are planning to RV for more than 3-4 weeks, or want to bring your pets, or are smokers, it may be more affordable to rent an RV!
