Where would YOU go in an RV?
For me there can only be one place to go and that’s the wide open plains of the American wild west. Yup, the big country.
Motorhomes aren’t things to confine to towns and cities but rather to use on the wide open road and few places get more wide open than the likes of Arizona and Texas. OK, it’s a bit of a struggle for the big beasts to get up some of the hills around the canyons but it’s the modern day covered wagon and the old timers had a bit of a struggle up the very same mountain ranges.
Monument valley is, of course, John Wayne country. That’s the backdrop that you’ll see in countless westerns and even today you can park your rig in one of the remaining indian emcampments. It’s miles from anywhere too so you get to see the stars in the night sky just as the old-time pioneers did.
Move a little further south and you can even tie your “hoss” up right in the centre of Tombstone just a little ways down from the OK Corral. Next morning you can even stroll down the very same wooden sideway that Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday and the Clancys did because that section of Tombstone has been preserved just the way it was in those days.
So where would YOU take your RV?

That’s exactly where I was thinking I would go in an RV (given unlimited funds and time!)l-the Western U.S. It’s incredibly beautiful with ever changing geology. I’d make a big loop from W Texas, up through New Mexico, CO, WY, would have to go to the Badlands in the Dakotas, then over to MT, WA, down to OR, CA, head East again to AZ, back to TX. Ohh forgot beautiful Utah, & Nevada.
