"Hi Rick,
Just checking in having returned from our 6 week trip around the US. The RV we purchased from Family RV did a great job for us - reliable and no problems at all. We named it "Harvey the R.V" and Harvey was very kind to us. The purpose of the trip was to visit family and friends in all different parts of the country - and we chose to travel by road rather than fly. We maximized time with friends, and still got to see some sights along the way. The RV worked out great with our three small children, because we could stop for comfort breaks whenever needed and could easily fix meals on the go.
We had some amazing roadside lunches with great views, and lots of fun camping at night too.
From the Bay Area we traveled across a northern route, through Reno, up to Boise, across to Chicago then up into Connecticut. After a break in Connecticut we moved up and down the East Coast kind of like a yo-yo, before finally heading down to Atlanta then west to Santa Fe, Los Angeles and back up to the Bay Area. We just dodged Hurricane Irene, and the earthquake near D.C and wildfires around Oklahoma City. Somehow we were granted safe passage the entire way. Our favorite parts of the trip were Wyoming (especially the Grand Tetons) and Lake Michigan, with it's warm fresh water that was ideal for the kids (and parents too!) We all loved the trip, the kids were all comfortable and quickly got used to life on the road. We only wish we had have done this years ago because it was a great experience for our family.
Regards,
Martin. "
