Hi Jean, thank you so much. If the ads were gone, I would have little incentive to make these videos. Know what I mean. If you subscribe to KZfaq Red, you can watch ad free. I am surprised to hear you say that about cutting off at the most important points, as the system usually picks a natural break (not always though), and it should rewind a couple of seconds so you don't miss anything. Anyhow, thank you so much for watching, hop you check out some of my other videos and subscribe so you'll be notified of new ones. Cheers, Mike

Thank you so much! No, gloves are not required. I just jumped in the RV and washed my hands when finished. The waste is flushed out by the grey water and the sewage does not get on the outside of the hose. Oh, the fridge and freezer worked excellent on my trip. No issues at all. Thanks for watching. Hope you have a wonderful time. Cheers, Mike

How was your experience? Thinking about renting one soon.

@@melissawhite9870 ​ It was awesome! My daughter and I loved it while my wife was just okay with it. We can't wait to do it again! DEFINITELY wear gloves when dumping the tanks though!

Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed it. We did not use the customer service, but I understand it’s quite good. We had it for three weeks and didn’t have any problems. There is quite a bit of storage available but, that would have a lot to do with how much stuff you have whether it’s enough space or not. You can get a cigarette lighter with a USB, that will do the trick, or you could get a USB battery pack and bring that along with you. Thanks again for watching. Cheers, Mike

@@RoadTripTravel Thank we leave next Saturday picking one up in New Mexico. The family is excited.

Thank you Angela! I'm not sure if I understand your question? If you are not parked in a campground and find a safe and secure place to boondock for the night, no, you would not have to pay. Gas of course would depend on how much it is going for. When I did this trip gas was only $2.50gal. A lot more today. I think it has a 50 gal tank and gets about 9-10 mpg. I thought I mentioned that in the video, but today I can't recall. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching. Hope you'll check out some of my other videos. Cheers, Mike

Hey Jennifer…thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it. Happy to help, here are answers to your questions: Propane essentially stays on the entire time. It powers the fridge/freezer 24/7, stove when in use, hot water when in use and the heater when in use. We went over two weeks with 2 people and had plenty to spare. I suspect you will be able to go a week or so with 5 people. You can fill up at a campground like KOA or Good Sam. If you are staying any campgrounds the entire time, you will not need to worry about using the generator, it powers everything not mentioned above, like the A/C, outlets, microwave and lights. If during the day you need to run the outlets or microwave, you would need to use the generator. The lights run off of battery, so you don’t need to use the generator. Since your girls might use their phones all day, I would probably pick up a couple of small back-up batteries so they can keep them charged. At night, when you’re on shore power at the campground, you can charge everything up. Does that answer all of your questions? If not, let me know. Hope you have a wonderful time.

@@RoadTripTravel Great succinct information Mike, nicely put together... Cruise America should make you their Information Ambassador!

@@pmackenzie415 Ha! Wouldn't that be great. ;-)

Did you watch the video? At 1:13 I talk about millage. After 5 fill-ups we averaged 9.7 miles. It will vary depending on how much you use the generator.

👍🏻 Thx for watching. Cheers, Mike

No unfortunately. However, you can buy a $5-$7 cigarette lighter adapter to USB at Wal-Mart or Amazon that will do the trick.

Not clear on what you're asking.

Two people? You could store a lot! There is space down below and inside above the cab. Thanks for watching, hope you'll check out some of my other videos. Cheers, Mike

@@RoadTripTravel thanks for such a speedy reply. We would probably have 6 large suitcases. What do you reckon? Great video. 👍

That's a good question. I actually don't know, might be worth a call directly to Cruise America. I imagine there has to be a place you could install a car seat, but don't know for sure. Thanks for watching. Hope you found some other helpful info and will check out some of my other videos. Cheers, Mike

Yes, if you remember to bring an adapter. Thank you so much for the kudos, much appreciated. Fun! You will have a blast!

Yes, We ran the fridge/freezer 24/7 off the propane, along with the heater, stove, and water heater for over two weeks. You’ll have no problem for five days. You will need to because of your water usage, but for five days you should be fine if there are only two of you.

Yes, no problem. Thanks for watching. Hope you'll check out some of my other videos. Cheers, Mike

My pleasure. Glad it was helpful. Yes, the fridge runs off of the propane and runs 24/7. Works quite well too.

The fridge will switch to electric when you hook up to shore power so you don’t have to use propane then. You will use propane while on the road or not hooked up to shore power.

Ah, thanks! And thanks for watching. Hope you'll check out some of my other videos. Cheers, Mike

Yes, I think you could.

DJI Mavic 2. Thank you.

You should contact them directly as prices change with the season. They often run specials on the mileage. Thanks for watching. Let me know if you have any other questions. Hope you'll check out some of my other videos. Cheers, Mike

I’m so glad you found it helpful Diana. Yes. I think you’ll be fine. There are two areas for sleeping, then the dining area will convert into a bed. Only issue will be timing the bathroom. 😜 Hope you have a great trip. Where are you going BTW? Thanks for watching, hope you’ll check out some of my other videos, for example, the one on Cruise America vs peer-to-peer. Let me know if you have any other questions. Cheers, Mike

Actually a 30’ has 4 sleeping areas. There is a queen size bed in the back, a queen size over the cab, a full size in the pull out sofa and a small area in the dinette. It sleeps 7.

Yes! It's just a bit loud. Thanks for watching. Let me know if you have any additional questions. Cheers, Mike

It was about $59/night, but they charge you for the millage, so it can add up. Depends on which model you rent too. When we rented, prices were lower because it was during Covid, now they are often sold out, so I'm sure prices are higher. Best bet is to contact them directly. Thanks so much for watching. Cheers, Mike

Glad you enjoyed it. 10mpg is not bad. When I tow my travel trailer I can get as low as 7mpg. Gas engines are horrible for towing. Diesel is much better. Thanks for watching. Cheers, Mike

@@cottonmouth1663 Fantastic. Hope you have a wonderful time. Cheers, Mike

@@RoadTripTravel Sedona Red Rocks Zion and Bryce Canyon into Yellowstone....should be great ...Thanks for info.

@@cottonmouth1663 Lovely!

I think it was around $72/day with 100 free miles. Each mile after that is $.35 cents. "Day excursion?" Not sure what you mean?

Rates vary from $80-350/night depending on demand and time of the year.

Thanks so much for your question, and for watching. Have you ever driving left hand/right lane before? I think that will be your biggest challenge. Class C RV's as featured in this video are quite easy to drive after your first day of trepidation. My biggest concern the first time was breaking, but that's not an issue as they units have plenty of breaking power. Overall, not much of a learning curve. Are you familiar with peer-to-peer RV rentals? You may want to look into that as well can compare rates and features. Cruise America has 3 primary RV's for rent and have no frills.

@@RoadTripTravel hi Mike, Thank you for your reply, this has been a great help.... I wondered if you had any further advise on where we can rent a RV l, where they allow a different pick up and drop off location. We are starting in SF and ending in LA. Thanks so much.

​@@graemeinwood5966 You're welcome. I would say El Monte or Cruise America would be your best bet for different pickup/drop off locations. Unless you are interested in a smaller camper van, then there are a few other options, like Jucy and Escape Campervans. Let me know if you have any other questions. Cheers, Mike

Ha, yeah, pretty common term in the States, at least in the RV community. Boondocking is when you find an open area and park/camp for free, but with no hookups (water, sewer or power). In the western part of the U.S. there is a lot of national forest, or other types of national land in which you can use for free. Hope that answers your question. Thanks for watching. Cheers, Mike

Oh, I have not heard of them. Thanks for sharing, and, for watching. Hope you'll check out some of my other videos. Cheers, Mike

I don't think so. Never a fan of buying a rental of any sort, plus, the Cruise America RVs are bare bones, they have no extra amenities. On the other hand, you probably could pick one up cheap and upgrade it if you are so inclined. No sure if that helps, but thanks for watching and asking your questions. Cheers, Mike

Yes, you heard that incorrectly. I said that the RV can go about 500 miles on a tank of fuel. Not that Cruise America limits you to 500 miles.

@@RoadTripTravel ok thanks!

You can drive as many miles as you want. You pay for each and every mile that you drive.

Yes, that is certainly a consideration. Thanks for watching. Let me know if you have any questions. Cheers, Mike

There is no mileage limit. You can drive as many miles as you would like. You pay for each and every mile you drive.

@@noellearmour you like 600 miles for the rental price and then after that it costs you big time.

@@krt88nc it is .38/mile unless there is a special. Currently there is an unlimited mile special or half priced miles. We own a Cruise America in Ohio.

That is a lot of people in a Cruise America RV. I would suggest looking at something larger and would recommend a Peer-to-Peer platform like RVezy or Outdoorsy. Have a look at this video I produced on the topic: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kN9pZsKgl9bbgnU.html

Unfortunately you are only allowed 7 passengers. This is a law.

I couldn't tell you, I was not a foreign tourist. I suggest contacting them directly. Thanks for watching though, hope you found the video helpful. Cheers, Mike

There is a $2500 deductible. If you purchase the ZDP (zero damage plan) for $19.95/night, the deductible drops to $0.

How did you factor that? Depends on draw and fuel prices. Didn't think it was a substantial thing to mention, but thanks for your feedback, and for watching. Cheers, Mike

@@RoadTripTravel That's what we just got quoted for today it is $3.50 an hour for the use of the generator and I do feel that's important to mention to people.

@@dzgtnbz3680 Oh my gosh, I misunderstood. I thought you meant the fuel it took to operate. I had no idea they charged a fee to run the generator. I think that must be a new fee.

@@RoadTripTravel I agree it must be new. I just thought It was Ludacris
