Size IS important......

So we travelled all the way to Cannock in Staffordshire today to try and solve the "what size motorhome debate" which has been raging for months now!
Cost is obviously the biggest decider, but it is a once in a life time thing and after some clever re-jigging of the itinery we think we might be able to afford a bigger one.... motorhome, that is...We've always pictured us doing this trip in an "A" class (click here to see one), with big windows to get the full benefit of the scenery we're going to drive through.

But for some reason most motorhome renters in the USA only rent this type..... in the smaller sizes. So it's either a 30 foot beast or something that has an overhang that blocks out the sky when you look out of the windscreen!! Believe me, I have scoured the internet for the last year looking to see if we could find a company that rents the smaller "A" classes that you can get in the UK and Europe but it's no good there aren't any... although if someone out there knows better and can point us in the right direction I'd be grateful if they got in touch!!

So back to today's trip to Cannock.... we drove for an hour and twenty minutes to get to this place where we had seen both types last year but had only really looked at the A class. We jumped out of Blob all excited that we were finally going to sort this once and for all.... only to find... nothing!!! I suppose it's because it's the middle of winter, but all they had were the European ones and a couple of A classes!!!!!! AAARRRGH!!
So the agonising continues.... big beast that we're worried we might not be able to drive(park) or the nippy one that we don't get the views in...
HELP!!!
