<p>Just wanted to say hello to everyone on here all the way from England ^^, found your site by watching a documentary about Slab city in the Colorado Desert. And I just wanted to ask whats the best way to visit e.g camping out in a tent etc?</p><p><br>But before I bore you anymore just want to say your site seems pretty awesome! ^^</p>
 
As you are from England, when you visit the USA as a camper, you are required to travel in a gypsy-style vardo.
 
Welcome, and, absolutely as creation said, a Vardo, they are easy to find. The Gyspsy horse to pull it with may be a little problem. I'm sure Creation can set you up when you arrive in the states.<BR><STRONG><SPAN style="COLOR: #ff00ff">Dragonfly&nbsp; <IMG class="emoticon bbc_img" src="/images/boards/smilies/biggrin.gif"></SPAN></STRONG>
 
<p>Awesome thanks guys but I dunno about the Vardo thing &gt;&lt; would love to able to get a horse to pull though!</p><p>Also would like a hippie van to travel round in but no idea how much car hires are out their in the states ^^</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>"Never be scared your life is slipping away, be scared of never living it"</p>
 
serious answer - rent a car.&nbsp; buy a tent and sleeping bag.&nbsp; Explore.
 
If your over here for over a month buy a van and sell it before you leave. Welcome aboard
 
Welcome!<br><br>I always wondered what it costs to rent an rv...1 week with 700 miles is around 1200 dollars...ouch <img rel="lightbox" src="/images/boards/smilies/redface.gif" class="bbc_img"><br><br>Rental car prices vary wildly here.&nbsp; We rented a car in fl near disney for a couple hundred for 5 days...but competition in that area drives down prices and the mileage was low (they didn't charge mileage if you didnt leave the area). <br><br><br>Id like to see that documentary, got a link?
 
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>welcome from s.w. florida .... blkjak</strong></span>
 
<p>Yeah I think getting the sleeping bag and exploring sounds the best thing, renting a car to maybe just to travel between places. Thanks for all the answers ^^And unfortunately I do not have a link but will make sure to try and find it again and will post it as soon as possible ^^</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
 
<p>Also top ten places to visit? Where would you guys advise to visit first? Hope all of you are well and life is treating you fairly ^^</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
 
&nbsp;Renting even a car will be expensive. How about buying a small used car and tent camping? <br><br>&nbsp; How long will you be here? There are so many great places to visit but there are miles (and tons of cool things to see) inbetween them. <br><br>&nbsp; My list of 10 - Washington DC<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Yellowstone National Park<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; California coast<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Southern Utah National Parks<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Olympic National Park<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Niagara Falls<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Death Valley<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Disney World<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Las Vegas<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Summer or winter RTR<br><br>
