My first real experience with Americans,was in the mid eighties,in the South Island,on holiday..We met up with a hard case retired/semi retired bunch from[if my memory serves me well]the Sun Valley Caravan Club,probably Arizona..they were cruising the country in hired RVs,and having a ball..Real neat people,wish we could have spent more time with them,,,and then a few days later,the other side of the American tourist...dont go there...
Next time Was in 1991,when I spent three weeks in California,with a brief trip to Las Vegas,and back to LA..All real nice folks,and I hope we can scrape some cash together soon,so Lynda and I can do another trip..This time,it will be well OUT of L.A...Wanna see the real side of your great[big]country..
Yeah,your dunnies scared me too,,I thought there must have been a blockage..Stood back from the pan and yelled out for my friend...Oyy,your dunnies blocked..

Robin, my advice (for what it's worth,) would be to fly direct to the East coast, hire a small two-berth camper, (less parking hassles than with a bigger one,) and meander your way back across to the West coast; avoiding the large cities where ever possible.
I found the cities claustraphobic due to the sheer height of the buildings.
(Mind you, I get that in NZ too...you get that when you've lived in the bush as long as I have...
)
And a GPS is a must-have.
The place is HUGE!johnboy

Some mistakes are too much fun to be made only once.
