New RVer just finished my first trip
Howdy!
I'm Marcel, from The Netherlands, and I've just returned from my first ever solo RV roadtrip. The whole adventure was a whopping 5256 kilometers (3266 miles) through British Columbia, Canada in a rented Thor C-Class XL with a Ford E450 motor.
I never thought I'd be doing something like that (I always stayed at hotels and such), but this was such a blast to do that I'm already working on my next trip and will be renting a similar motorhome. And this time things will be easier and more fun.
Though I was constantly learning new things every day, it was less daunting than I thought it would be. There was one part of the trip I purposely cancelled beforehand, after seeing videos of that particular road on YT, but other than that it was easy maneuvering this vehicle through towns and on campgrounds.
I'm dying to share my trip experience and photos on this forum and was wondering if that was allowed or not.
I'm not ready to buy my own rv just yet, but maybe some day ...
Regards,
Marcel

And thank you as well.
I feel like I've just been invited to the campfire because I'm carrying a case of cold ones and a bag of marshmallows.
And I'd gladly sit down and share all that I have.
Regards,
Marcel
