THE ROAD TRIP BEGINS…
Finally we are back on the road again! Join us this week for the first leg of our American RV Road Trip as we fly from the UK to LA and head off in to the desert.
We hired our splendid van from @elmonterv4615

Our family have been roaming around the UK, Europe and US since 2007. We set off on each trip with only a rough destination in mind, allowing the roads we take and places we stop to evolve as we meet new friends along the way.

Happy New Year. Been itching to watch your latest video following your comments on Facebook. Especially your Vegas photo's. Love the USA, I used to work for EDS/HP/DXC and spent a lot of time there. Love the airports and the free shuttle buses . Even buses that go to hotels in the cities, not just airport motels. UK could learn from the USA. Wow, what a van you got all in for 2.5k. It's a travelling hotel. There is no comparison with that van you had last time. Trucker Steve ...lol . Huge fridge. Such a shame boy racers have forced lots of supermarket carparks in the UK to close overnight. Can you ask Swift to put electric blinds in their motorhomes -:) Have a fabulous holiday.

Im thinking of the huge savings in hotel bills for a family of five 👍 I wonder though if theyll be touring just the urban areas or will actually go deep into the wilderness and the outdoor experience 😊
Start of another ‘journey’ that we come along with you. I went to 🇺🇸last April on an ELVIS Tour for 3 weeks so Memphis/Tupelo-Hawaii-Seattle It was a holiday of a lifetime for me having not been to 🇺🇸before and an ElvisFAN BUT for me it’s just a HUGE country, HUGE long roads, HUGE RV’s and HUGE portion sized meals - when we stopped for meals I asked for small/children’s portions and they thought I was MAD Going to Europe is for me and less flying on long 10hrs + 😮😮😮❤️❤️👍 👍 🇬🇧🇬🇧🏴🏴

Loved this vlog, great to see you guys out and about again! Question, which has been your favourite place (as in town/city/state etc) to visit in the US?
Awesome trip guys similar to our 1998 trip with Cruise America, we were lucky, brand new camper with plastic still on the mattress, similar route to yours. For future reference if you decide to take your own rig for a longer trip these are the very affective costs for our 19 ft 2019 U.K. truck camper (shipping back early feb 2024) : Return Shipping £6500, insurance £1800 for a year with Progressive, fuel 3400$ over 10 mths (23mp English gallon) and 16500 miles travelled.
