How a camper trip works
- Hire: a day's rate, and in the US and Canada the miles on top. Left elsewhere than picked up costs a one-way fee.
- Nights: at campgrounds, from a simple national park site to an RV park with power, water and a pool. Book the parks months ahead.
- Driving: slower than by car, and shorter days. Four to five hours a day is plenty.
- Sleeps: four in a mid-size camper; luggage fits in soft bags only.
