I would rent one before you own, just to make sure you like it. We have a 40' Holiday Rambler diesel engine motorhome. We love the experience and have been to Canada and many other places. We live in Louisiana. You can travel at your own pace and bring anything portable from your home with you. The people you meet are so nice and cordial and always ready to help. Best of all you sleep in your own bed each night and don't have to worry about bed bugs. We have found that traveling in a motorhome is about the same price as motels and eating at restaurants along the way. It just depends on what you would like.
