RENTING OUR WAY INTO THE WORLD OF RV-ing! “Remember that vacation where we rented an RV and drove around California? That was the best family vacation we ever took – even better than when we went to Disney World!” When those words were spoken by my 19-year-old son, my son who would happily spend three days in his room playing video games, I thought my heart would burst!
