The WM lost his Toad 3/4 the way through the Trip and the TG dropped out 3/4 of the way through the trip due to mechanical breakdown. We also lost two other rigs during the trip. One rig broke down only a 1/4 of the way through the trip and lost the remainder of the tour and the money associated with it.hymer.com I got the impression that the more people who broke down or got sick with the flu the more money the WM pocketed. Our misery was FT's added profit. RV Alaska insisted on minimum protection for toad and in Dawson Creek helps caravan members place film on coach and wire mesh over radiators.craigslist.org We had people in our group that had no idea of how to prepare for this trip. Even with our prep based on RV Alaska Tour information we had significant paint chipping of coach and toad. I lost count of the number of broken windshields in our group. Even with a yoga mat across our toad's windshield we still got hit with stone in bottom right corner of windshield.
Crossing back into Alaska, we drive to eclectic Hyder, driving under a hand-painted sign that reads ‘The friendliest Ghost Town in Alaska.’ With a population of about 87, Hyder has no law enforcement, uses Canadian currency and the B.C. Ketchikan and features two saloons. Why are we here? We’re going to see the bears at the Fish Creek Wildlife Observation Site just out of town. Both grizzly and black bears come here to fish for salmon. Here’s our chance to observe and photograph an epic Alaskan scene - bears in their natural habitat in this beautiful glacial river valley. Forty-seven days after our rendezvous at Milepost 0 in Dawson Creek, we arrive in Prince George. We enjoy a Farewell Dinner, reminiscing about our Alaskan adventures and the time we’ve spent together. It’s been an experience like no other in this great Last Frontier.
For virtually any adventurous RV’er -- touring the tropics in one’s own unit is a dream- especially when the designation is South America! It’s not a "dream" anymore -- this past August our RV Expedition departed southbound from McAllen, TX. It was Trek of the Americas. Two days prior to departure the participants gathered and had the units re-checked by Adventuretours Staff. It had been an awaited time- but there were still "last minute" items that were over looked and made those last 2 days went fast! The RV’er should be reassured when, the expedition staff inspects the RV. This will save inconveniences during the trip. It is very important to be sure you have the proper equipment and spare parts (later in the journey you will see why)?
You also may be asked to complete a product survey form, if you were given a RV product for testing, and, of course, you can keep the product! Bridgestone Tires, Camco Manufacturing, Thetford, Carefree, Nature Pure, are some of the manufacturers we do product testing for. After all the reviews, inspections, checks and re checks, paperwork, insurance we were finally at the border with Mexico (our first frontier!). The early morning crossing was a breeze- we had pre-done our paperwork! The group passed through the city of Reynosa, Tamps. Mexico in the pre-dawn hours (before heavy traffic) and we were quickly enroute on the "open road" southbound past the northern Tamaulipas farmlands.
For most of the group, Mexico was "old stuff" but the area was still enjoyed as we quickly past through the Gulf Coast, Veracruz, and into the State of Oaxaca where crossing to the Pacific over the Isthmus! Many of the old broken-up highways of Mexico have been improved but there were still some "Mucho Rougho" areas. Different types of people and geographical changes are obvious upon the crossing into Guatemala, Central America. Most noted are the Mayan Indians, and the beautiful green jungle growth in the mountains after the border crossing. The culture was so different than what had been seen in Mexico. The border crossings into Central American countries are unique experiences.
There are numerous "steps" to be followed, and must be done ‘in order’, which the trip leader will handle. It can be very interesting to sit back and observe all the border activities, tourism, and the different commerce that takes place. After finishing with the border crossing, we visited our first hot springs resort, located about 200 miles into Guatemala. It has natural hot water, heated from the nearby volcano, and fed by underground rivers to the camp. So much for those luxuries (hot pools, Jacuzzi, and deluxe seafood restaurants), little time will be spent in Central America - we must continue ahead to meet our shipping date, in Panama, to Peru, South America. After Guatemala, the Pan American Highway is followed to El Salvador. Here the routing follows the Pacific Coast, with some of the most picturesque seascapes to be seen.
A surprise enroute gastronomic experience was the oceanfront encounter with the world’s best tasting fish: Corvina. Just a couple of hours through the country of Honduras, and into Nicaragua. The most noticeable natural wonder of this country was the 100 mile long Lake Nicaragua, which we traveled parallel to on the Pan American Highway. Costa Rica was next, with some very beautiful natural landscapes, however if you have a encounter with the Traffic Police, it can soured the beauty of the country. You must watch for the radar police at all times. We shopped the shopping center in San Jose, and enjoyed a very good pizza, at Pizza Hut which served CocaCola, instead of Pepsi.
The last Central American country, Panama, was a pleasant driving experience. Unlike the rough roads of Costa Rica, Panama has very good concrete highways. One notable place on the Pan Am, was in central Panama, where a airport runway, actually crosses the Pan American Highway. Gates are lower to stop traffic during aircraft landings! We stayed on the former American Military Base in Panama, now operated by the Panama government. The old officers’club swimming pool was still very refreshing in the tropical climate. Bird watching is also very good at this location. Arrangements for the ship crossing to South America had been previously done, but we were required to get our RV’s inspected.
Lots of paperwork, police clearance, by a very helpful Chinese Customs Broker, named Heidi. We finally conformed to the requirements for international disembarkation into South America. After crossing the Panama Canal on the Bridge of the Americas, we traveled to the Port of Cristobal, where the vehicles were placed on the roll-on ship to Peru. We then were off to the airport to fly to Panama. Some of the group went directly to Lima, Peru, while others went to Ecuador. This was also the time to visit Cusco, and Macha Picchu. The Peruivian climate was cool, and the sun did not appear in the capital city of Lima. A change from sunny Panama! The motorhomes and campers arrived in Lima about 5 days after we arrived and it took a couple of days to get the paperwork from the port finished. We were now on our way (with a full-police escort through the city of Lima) , southbound on the Pan American highway! Quite a special feeling realizing that you are actually driving your RV in South America!

You’ve been planning your vacation for months. You picked out just the right motorhome rental, planned your route, and have all your camping sites lined up. Your time off has been approved at work, and now you’re within a week of leaving.campingworld.com "But I haven’t yet begun to pack! " you think frantically. No worries. Your friends at Greenwood RV Rentals & Sales of Indianapolis have your back. Use these lists to help jumpstart your packing process and help you keep that vacation excitement alive. When you rent an RV, many of your camping essentials come with it. However, each model comes with different amenities (depending on whether you selected a popup camper, travel trailer, or motorhome), so be sure to check what comes with it.
Do you plan to cook at your campsite for the majority of your vacation? Your best bet is to make a list of meals you plan to have each day. From there, write down a list of ingredients and cooking supplies (pans, dishes, aluminum foil, etc.) you will need to prepare your meals. We recommend that you bring along a cooler. Your RV will likely have a refrigerator or ice box, but you may want the extra space for food storage. Your longest packing list is likely to be all your personals. You may deviate from this list, add to it, or just use it as a guideline. But hopefully, it will help you remember all your must-haves. The remaining items you still need to pack will be highly dependent on what activities you plan to do while on vacation. So, instead of including a packing list to account for all activities, we recommend that you make a list of things you plan to do (hiking, swimming, shopping, etc.), and then list the items you’ll need to do it. Still have questions about what’s included in your RV and what you need to bring along?
