Hey all,

I am extremely new to this site so go easy please! :-)

My wife and I are planning a road trip in about 20ish months so am planning way ahead. We plan to travel from California, probably LA, to NYC, taking in various sights along the way. The duration will be 1 month in 2014, I know it's a way off but it's our first road trip and want to prepare properly!.

One of the biggest quandries we are in is whether a) to rent an RV/Motorhome on an one way ticket b) try and find a deal whereby we return a vehicle to it's rightful location after some one else has done a one way journey in it or c) go for a car rental/motel/hotel stays across the way.

I have read through this thread and all have valid points, it's just a big decision to make for such a big journey and would appreciate any thoughts form the more experienced community.

We are from England, would this be an issue getting a rental? Having never done this before it's a step into the unknown and would really like to get a handle on all the options that may or may not be available to us.

I was recommended to this sight by Mark Sedenquist and I hope to hear back from some of you with any useful advice possible.

Thank you
Scott
