Has anyone done this...either by renting an RV or using your own? Is this a budget way to travel?
I've also considered driving across country and tent camping along the way with a hotel room thrown in here and there in case of bad weather.
I've checked a site on-line that offers an RV for about a $1000 for a month in the summer but it only includes 2900 miles. We would be driving to Disneyland and back (of course) which would be at least 6,000 miles, not to mention any side trips to National Parks, etc. The charge is .32/per mile if you go over, so that would add another $1000 at least and we haven't even added gas in yet.
What would be an optimal age for kids to take this type of trip?
Any other ideas/opinions would be appreciated.
TIA
