Novel Fly/Drive Vacation Ideas...

Anyone ever rented an RV? Are they a pain to drive? (I've driven
trucks, but never a motor home.) Anyone ever tried combining a flying
vacation with a road trip?

No problem learning to drive one. Drive with your mirrors, a lot.

I know of three people that have rented, and all three had MAJOR breakdowns.
Two of the three got quick repairs, and one nearly had their trip destroyed.

Make sure you get a vehicle only one year old, at best.

12 of us rented a 35' RV one summer and took it from north Texas to NW
Arkansas. It was no problem to drive. I did have to get use to driving
past 18 wheelers - the air pressure between the two as they passed.
Worst part was the 10 drunks while 2 of us stayed sober to drive. We
went to the Buffalo River area in Arkansas and the driving was not bad
in the mountains (yes, there are not the Rockies, but I have seen lots
of big RV (motor coaches) up there in Colorado)).
