Hi everyone, enjoying reading all the posts re. caravan parks. We have just booked a Roadbear C19 to tour for 64 days, picking up and dropping off RV in Vegas. Dates travelling 4th May to the 7th July '12. Plan to do Western US and some of Western Canada. Are we able to buy a Passport America pass, if yes, should we buy it from the first campsite we use? I have downloaded the PA brochure in PDF form. We are a bit concerned about having to prebook places as we like to tour and not be committed to booking ahead for sites. Is this going to be a concern? We do try to avoid busy places as much as possible as we like the peace and quiet of the countryside. Any itinerary ideas would be good and perhaps National parks that are stunning but less visited.
Also looking forward to meeting all you RVers!  Look forward to some help. |

My only input is I assume the Roadbear 19 is a B class or van type motorhome. I would highly recommend is possible going a little larger and defiantly a rig that has a generator. That in itself will greatly inhance your camping experience as many of the national parks you are looking to visit will be no electric hook up parks. Gas mileage and getting around in a 21ft or 23ft class C with genset will not be much different that the 19ft Roadbear. In addition, you would have more stretch out comfort in case of bad weather and your stuck in the rig. Enjoy your travels and Welcome to our beautiful country. You'll Love It!

Hi Vincee, the motorhome we are hiring is actually a 19-22' but not quite sure how that works, and it does have a generator. Our camper at home is only a 6 metre so we are used to not a lot of space. We could go to the next size for a few dollars more but decided against it. Could still change our minds though. Are going to be chatting to a guy here in NZ that hires campers each year in US and uses the same company as we are using, he is coming to see us so he may make us change our minds. The larger vans are still on the same chassis as the one we have booked. Have just booked the flights yesterday so getting excited. I am hoping we do not have bad weather!!! We have stunning scenery in NZ but I am expecting USA to be similar but on a grander scale. Thanks for the advice. Have a great New Year  |
