If you're not afford to sleep at hotel for several days. You might get a RV. My husband and I want to have our own RV in future when we have a kids. I think RV is cheaper than stay at hotel. What do you think???

I want to touch all 50 states and include 2 countries in Alaska and Mexico. I touched 17 states in my life. That's sucK! I want MORE!!!!

RV is cheaper if you go out of town frequently for a while. If not... then it's pointless and it's nothing but a money drain. But what kind of RV are you talking about? the bus size or smaller than that?
 
I don't know about the size yet. It depend on my future kids' numbers. My husband said want to have a popups. I told him I wanted RV with AC on. We are plan to travel to many cities and states for Arts/Crafts Festivals and do my jewelry booths there. We have to wait until my husband is finish with his college. We will be travel.

Have you noticed that there's a lot less RVs on the road now? I don't see many around now due to high gas prices, uh oh!

haha RV w/ AC on is A-MUST. let's hope your husband will make 6-figures. College debt + home mortgage + child(s) expense + bills... ouch it's gonna be a while unless you got something else under your sleeve that will fix those issues. :cool2: but dang I'd like to have an RV myself too. I think I'd prefer a small yacht over it.

I thought I'd create a thread related to Road Trips. I am aware the gas prices are spiking up at all costs but let's leave the "gas talk" out of this and make this a positive thread.

Here's some ice-breaking questions that we can share about our road trip experiences and what we can look out for.

Yupp I love road trips! Even I like it better than the planes! :)

What's your favorite thing to do during a road trip?
Click to expand...

Stop by anything that are interesting.

Would you much rather ride the highways or the scenic back roads?
Click to expand...

Doesn't matter, whatever it lead me to where I want to go is fine with me :)

Does anyone have any tips for a female road tripping by herself on safety, etc?
Click to expand...

*EDITIED* Just stay in the car and only stop at the stores or where there's lot of people. Don't get out of the car alone.

Where would you suggest a road trip to?
Click to expand...

Well I am not sure what I should suggest, but my most favorite was driving south from Vancouver BC to Seattle, Washington then Portland, Oregon, then Mt. Shasta, California then Lake Tahoe and Reno, Nevada and lastly, Las Vegas, Nevada.

If you were to go on a road trip, where would you go to? and why?
Click to expand...

I would do the same what I said above before my 21st age expires, and I don't know what else I would go :hmm:

Do you play games to pass the time in the car or do you just sit there and ask questions like: Are we there yet?
Click to expand...

Mostly I just sit and watching the window, or playing the video games, or watching a movie on a DVD player, or eat. My tips how to avoid from being so much bored, just stop and get out. You can't do that in the planes, that's why I hate planes.

Discuss. :)

Sure :)

I had took my vacation week in Arizona and Utah last month ago. I saw lot of rent RV there. I can't believe that.

I guess it depends on the state. I don't see that many here due to gas prices are over $4.30 in most places.
 
A lot of the RV places are discounting their stays to help offset the cost of gas.

Visit at Bryce Canyon and Zion Canyon at first time. I love hiking, They were beautiful scencies.

Bryce canyon and Zions NP are really something. I have been to both at least a half dozen times and each visit is just as pleasureable as the first. I had bad experience in Bryce Canyon though when I was 19. I had been very allergic to horses in past, but didn't think I was anymore. Well essentially I started having severe respiratory problems about 3/4 of way through the ride down and up the canyon. When we got back we had to go to Park Station and call Paramedics. I ended up having to stay in local county hospital while the rest of the family and extended family finished the last few days of trip.

Heh, That'd be cool if Lightning McQueen and Doc Hudson actually exist. It'd be a speedlight trip for you.

Speaking of Route 66, I was told that they have several Cadillacs that are partially buried in the ground. I thought that was nifty and would love to see it.

Liza - Do be safe on your trip and and most of all, enjoy the trip! I'd love to hear how it went when you return from the trip. :)
Click to expand...

The buried Cadilacs are in Texas, near Amarillo which is 2 hours north of where I am now.
 
I haven't ask my cousins about RV's gas yet. I am wonder is this use for Diesel only?
 
I just got back from a two week long/3k road trip. Wow, that was really intense. I must say that I have enjoyed it but I was glad to be home. All the driving has really worn me out! I did not feel any danger as a single (good looking?! haha) woman on the road, since I had my pepper spray and common sense. Having GPS didn't hurt at all, either.. that is a worthy investment! :)
