At the same time as I bought that, I also got Cadillac Desert by Marc Reisner (1986), a treatise on water mis-management throughout the history of the 'modern' (ie white invader) USA. Expect the usual politics/ greed/ corruption that accompanies any environmentalist narrative. I think it's been revised/ updated sometime in the 2000's.Bizarrely, currently on the Calais - Dover boat and that is my current reading book.
Recommended by me also. Reminds me a bit of Zen and the art of Motorcycle maintenance.

No worries. If you want to come in the motorhome we have plenty of space for you to park up in the back garden.Hi Chris, I will have questions, just not sure what they are yet. As I have family in York, would happily arrange to meet up, only the next county South of the Humber

Nice taster of all the goodies the US has to offer. However you should consider storing the van (cheap outside CA) and going back to do the best bits (the vast chunk in the middle - Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Montana, Dakotas etc) and then you will see Yellowstone and some of the most fantastic National Parks in the world. We spent 6 years going over 3 or 4 times a year for 4 or 5 weeks and did 76,000 miles. We managed to see most of the best but I'm sure you will want more. Since you are passing right by the long skinny strip on Alaska that sticks down next to BC, take a side trip to Hyder (Alaska). You can get "Hyderised" there because it's duty free (you'll have to find out why), but the bears are amazing there. Have a wonderful trip.We have been planning this for some time now as part of our retirement and it is finally coming together for next year. From February to September we will ship our motorhome to Baltimore and spend 8 months touring North America.
Once you start planning, you realise just what a big country this is and how vast some of the distances are and we have a lot to tick off on our bucket list. Anyway, the map below shows what we believe we can achieve in 34 weeks (and around 14,000 miles). I have a week by week plan including mileage distances and main sights to visit.
Starting October when I get back from my 500 mile walk for charity (just giving page here!!!), I will keep this thread and my blog updated with progress and information which I hope will be of interest to others who may plan to do something similar.

Look into ordinary commercial shipping via a US agent. We shipped this way when we shipped our US RV back to UK and it arrived on a RoRo in the middle of a shipload of green and yellow John Deere's. This white thing stood out like a sore thumb. Deere and others would ship to the Far East and OZ etc via a West coast port but as someone else said, the Australians are really picky about their import regs.Expanding on the topic ....has anyone found a reasonable shipping cost from west coast US/ Canada to Oz /NZ or vice versa...? 6 + 6 month in both then transpac for a further 6+6 is a great way to spend two years. I think the importation of the MH is limited to 6 months in each of the four countries before tax becomes due....! I know Seabridge do a Europe to Oz/NZ but seems daft to return to Europe to take it up!

It was brilliant - we did 15000 miles and covered a lot of stuff including Yosemite and Yellow stoneDidn't look at the date. Thought it was new. Hope you had fun.

We did an RV trip from January 2019 and our plans were somewhat curtailed by Covid 19. We had planned to keep it for longer but it didn’t work out as planned, no regrets at all and the three months we had were fantastic.We've just had an enjoyable read of this thread as we're discussing the idea of doing a USA RV trip, probably in 2025 at the earliest. At the moment we're trying to price up the options
1/ Hire an RV (looks expensive as you need all the add-on packs)
2/ Buy an RV there and sell when you finish (A friend did this but his brother loves in Canada and handled the sale)
3/ Ship our MH over
Is there anyone who has done this trip more recently and which option did they chose?
