Sounds great Wayne!
I have great memories of my family renting an RV and heading from our home (Menlo Park) up to Mount St. Helens about a year after the eruption... I still have a Planter's cheese balls canister filled with ash from that trip. I was 3 years old at the time... have fun!

It's not cheap, but it's not nearly as expensive as owning the thing and paying insurance, maintainence, loan costs, etc. I've got it for a week, and it's $230/night.

Wayne, does that include the cost of buying "carbon credits" since that baby sucks so much gas ? LOL

Not aware of a requirement to buckle up in an RV. That said, everyone remained buckled for 90% of the trip. They only unbuckled occasionally, and then the night we left they all slept in the rear bedroom where I felt they would be fairly safe.


All that being said, and while I'm a stickler for wearing a belt at all other times, it just doesn't bother me that much when renting an RV. I'm a careful driver, and besides, when I traveled in the family wagon we didn't even have seat belts. Maybe that makes me a fool, but you pick your battles and things to worry about, and this just aint one of them. IMHO of course.

was hanging w/a couple of cops recently who had been shopping recently for a new RV.

"It's illegal unless everyone is buckled up."
"What if you're sleeping in the back?"
"Doesn't matter."
"What if there is a wall seperating the front and rear?"
"Doesn't matter. Some mfg have installed rear belts and some haven't."
"Sounds crazy to me."
"Yep"
