Hey John, last October my wife and I rented a 24 ft motorhome from Crestwood RV in Tuckahoe, New York. They picked us up at our hotel in NYC and we toured around Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Maryland, Massachusettes, New Hampshire, Maine, Rhode Island, and Connecticut over the next 3 weeks. We only gave them a vaugue idea of our plans, we stopped whenever and wherever we wanted to, and we had a blast.

We traveled to Independence Hall, Valley Forge, Amish Country, Gettysburg, FSGW Getaway, Washington DC, Sturbridge Village, Salem Witch Museum, Plymouth Plantation, Cape Cod, Pilgrims Monument, New Bedford Whaling Museum, and Mystic Seaport. We constantly were changing our plans due to unforseen road conditions, places we wanted to stay longer (or shorter), and suggestions from fellow travelers of what we should see.

You are correct, this type of holiday is joyful and serendipitous. I can't believe they want you to specify exact dates and locations. My advice is to find another rental company. There are many agencies in the northeastern United States that rent motorhomes. My primary reason for renting one was so I would not have to over plan our trip last fall. Good luck, John. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help.

Mike
