    Moving back to the USA - Need Advice!

    No better way, friend!  I wish you a joyful and peaceful journey onward.  My wife is a Buddhist and would assure you that this is just but one step on the path.  I'm an old fashioned skeptic but I always remember that the bits of you that touched the world forever changed it and that the...

    Are weekly or two-week rates any good?  We won't have the time to stay a month in one spot, though that rate sounds SUPER good!  If I could even stay at twice that amount on average across the trip I'd be more than happy!

    Yeah, I think a Class A is out of my range, too big and too expensive to run.  I have to admit my wife's eyes got pretty big when she looked at those interiors, though!  ;)   A lot of them are bigger and have more amenities than the house she grew up in!  We get on wonderfully, that is likely...

    Hopefully you mean the RV only has a few more months!  If it's you, I hope your days are pain free and filled with as much joy as you can handle!

    I'll be starting out down south, about 30-45 minutes west of Detroit.  Near the Ann Arbor area. When you want to sight see, what do you do with your Class A? Where can you park it? What kind of mileage do you get? Are they tough to re-sell later?

    Thanks, yeah, I'm really hoping!  I love the interior of those Damons!  I looked at them long and hard but I just have no idea what to do with it while my wife and I are exploring a town.  Otherwise I would look for a good, cheaper class A like that and spend some money on solar and batteries so...

    $30K is well out of my range, thanks.

    Thanks Rose, I started looking at class Bs and they do look doable, though expensive to my eyes (but I'm not experienced with the resale market on those).  What do you think of the Rialtas?  Are there specific Class B RVs you recommend?  Do you have any other advice about them you could give me...

    Thanks so much for the insight! How much water does a typical shower use per 10 minutes?  That's a really good point.  We live in a developing country right now, so limiting water use won't be a huge surprise to us but it depends on how limited.  My showers are about 10 minutes (with water off...

    Moving back to the USA - Need Advice!

    Hi, I have been living outside of the USA for about 10 years now.  My wife and I will be coming to the US at the end of the year (based on her visa being approved) and what we want to do is to travel around the US for 3 - 6 months so she can get a feel for the country before we choose a place...
