Hi all! I know this has nothing to do with Disney, but thought you might be able to help me. We are thinking about renting an RV next summer and going to Yellowstone via the Black Hills. Has anyone ever done this? I had really planned on waiting until our little ones were a few years older, but our oldest two kids are lobbying hard for this trip. We have never rented an RV before and have no experience with them at all - we're tent campers, and only close to home. Thanks for your help!
 
We just had a thread like this, from someone in the Northeast, I think. Try looking in the "Camping at DW" board, one level above this one.
 

Thanks for the tip about the other thread. I am looking into a local dealer who rents RV's now. Thanks for all your help!:)
 
Hi ~ my fam and I have done this. It was our first experience with RVing and we loved it so much we have since bought our own TT. We flew from Boston to Albuquerque for my nephew's wedding, and after all the wedding festivities, we set out in a class C that we had rented from a man in Albuquerque. We left New Mexico and drove up to Colorado, from Colorado to Wyoming, Wyoming to Montana, Montana back down through Wyoming, Wyoming to Idaho, Idaho to Utah, Utah to Nevada, Nevada to Arizona, and from Arizona back to New Mexico. We did 8 states, just over 3000 miles (I think), and we were gone for just over 3 weeks. When I tell you it was the trip of a lifetime, I'm not kidding. It was AWESOME. We ran the gamut (sp?) of weather (from a snowstorm in Yellowstone the last week in July, to 120 degrees a week later going over the Hoover Dam). We saw America the way no pictures could even begin to do it justice. My girls at the time were 12 and 6 and they still to this day talk about it at least once a week (i.e., remember when we were in Yellowstone and such and such happened, or, remember when we were in Vegas and we saw such and such). We are in the planning stages of doing it again, this time going to Washington, Oregon, the coast of California, Yosemite and the Sierra Nevadas. We can't wait!
I would DEFINITELY recommend doing this type of trip - you surely won't forget it and will be very happy you did it. As I said earlier, it was the trip of a lifetime! :)
