diesel motor home will

Welcome to Adobe GoLive 5 Cross Country in a Country Coach By Len Souza Last week I had an opportunity to drive a new Country Coach Intrigue motor home across the country for six days over a distance of 3,200 miles. The trip originated at the Country Coach factory in Junction City, Oregon and it ended in Perry, Georgia at the site of the FMCA National Winter Rally. Prior to this I had never driven a High Line diesel pusher more than 10 or 20 miles during various test drives. This trip would be a new experience for me and it would test of my fortitude, as the schedule required that I drive 500 miles each day and deliver the coach in 6 days. This would require me to drive 9 to 10 hours each day. I normally drive no more than 5 or 6 hours each day when I travel in my own gas powered motor home. This driving experience was a real eye opener for me; it taught me some valuable lessons. The people who have experienced a High Line diesel motor home will tell you that you are much more rested at the end of the day and they state that “getting there” is over half of the enjoyment of traveling by motor home. After this trip, I am a believer! My overall impression can be summarized with two (2) words, Confidence and Comfort. The Confidence came about because of the superb road manners that this coach exhibited; it tracked between the lines exactly where I pointed it and with no effort on my part. The road conditions didn’t seem to deter or challenge this coach; I encountered crosswinds of over 30 MPH at one point and very rough roadbeds at several points along the 3,200 miles. None of these conditions affected this motor home, it just kept moving along in the exact direction that I pointed it in. The powerful ISL 400 Cummins propelled the coach along effortlessly, even up steep grades. The Comfort associated with driving this motor home was not only enjoyable but it afforded me one very important benefit, it did not fatigue me. At the end of each day I felt great after having driven for 9 or 10 hours; I was a bit astonished, as I hadn’t expected this outcome. The chassis, with its air suspension ride and precise power steering with the great tactile feel--help this Country Coach earn the title of “High Line” motor coach. I also had the opportunity to get intimately familiar with the coach as I inspected it very closely twice each day out on the road. The quality that I saw in the chassis-joint welds, the cabling and the inside and outside hull construction was very impressive. The coach displayed a very high degree of “Fit and Finish” excellence. After this driving experience I have a much better realization and appreciation for the value that a High Line diesel motor home affords its owners.

Rent Motor Home

Alaska RV Rentals ~ Alaska Motorhome Rentals Alaska RV Rentals Alaska Tour and Travel does not offer Alaska RV or Motorhome rentals, but we are happy to pass along a few tips for those looking to do so. In addition, you can use our Alaska RV Rental Quote Request form to receive a no obligation quote directly from one of Alaska's top motorhome rental agencies. Renting an rv to travel Alaska is often a great choice for those looking for added flexibility in their Alaska vacation, and those who want to "rough it" in style with most of the comforts of home. Whatever the case, more and more people are turning to Alaska rv rental companies to plan their perfect Alaska vacation. While many people drive their own rv to Alaska, a substantial number choose to rent their rv in Anchorage. There are over a dozen firms offering Alaska rv rentals in Anchorage, from 22 foot class C motorhomes to 30 foot class A motorhomes. The most popular rental model is the class C motorhome which are generally available in 22 foot to 31 foot lengths. Most rental rvs are fully self contained, meaning that in addition to beds and seating, expect a bathroom with toilet and shower, stove, refrigerator, kitchen sink, hot water heater and furnace. If you are renting from a top firm, expect your motorhome to be less than 3 years old. A 22-24 foot rv will work well for a couple, although the 25-27 foot models usually offer a full bed in the back. A 25-27 foot rv will also work well for a family with 1 or 2 children, but look towards a larger 28-31 foot motorhome for parties with 4 to 6 adults or larger families. Follow this link to see some typical class C motorhome floor plans . Start early if you plan to rent an rv in Alaska. Advance reservations are required and many companies are sold out by spring time. A deposit is generally required to rent an rv, and strict cancellation penalties are common. Some firms charge extra for mileage, kitchen set ups, bedding, insurance, dumping or cleaning, so make sure you ask about extra fees so you know the total cost of your rental. Expect to pay $165 to $225 per day for a nice, well equipped rv, depending on the rental company and motorhome size. Discounts are often available for May or September rentals. No special license is required to operate an rv in Alaska, and most rental companies give an orientation prior to your departure. There are a number of RV rental firms in Anchorage, and as with any major purchase it is important to pick a reputable one. Click here to receive a no obligation quote directly from one of Alaska's top motorhome rental agencies. If you choose to rent an rv in Alaska you will likely be visiting a number of Alaska cities. Our suggestion is to save two or three days for Denali National Park as well as Kenai Fjords National Park and Seward. Be sure to check out our Denali Park tours , Seward tours or Alaska Tours pages. The Alaska Milepost guidebook will also be an invaluable resource for both planning your Alaska vacation and to take with you as you travel Alaska and the Yukon.
