RV in the USA

Campervanning or in the American vernacular 'RV'ing (recreational vehicles) is big business in the USA. There is a great deal more infrastructure established for travellers, and there are even well-established migratory routes which retirees and other enthusiasts follow to warm places like Florida or ski places like Colorado.

So if you are planning a trip to the USA, you might wonder just where you should go for more information. Well let me do the work for you. I spent some hours generating the following list of online resources.

Forums
There are great resources for getting travel ideas and asking questions from veterans. The best ones are:
