Frequently Asked Questions
- How many miles do we drive per day? The mileage varies each day based on availability of campgrounds and road conditions. The daily mileage is planned so that if you leave the campground by 9:00 am, you can easily arrive at the next campground by 2:00 pm.
- I want to bring my motor home. Do I need a towed vehicle? While it is not required that you tow a vehicle, many guests enjoy using it to sightsee and run errands after they arrive at the campground. You must weigh the chance that it could get damaged from the gravel roads, the extra cost in tolls/ferries/insurance against the convenience of having available transportation.
- Can I get a refund on my tour? You will get a refund as follows:
- Up to 60 days prior to rendezvous you will get a 100% refund
- Between 60 days prior to rendezvous and the departure date you will get a 100% refund less $300 administrative fee and any non-refundable deposits made on your behalf
- While on the tour you will get a prorated refund
- Is internet access available? Yes. Most campgrounds have dial-up or wireless connections. You must have an 802.11b card in your computer in order to use the wireless service.
- How can my family contact me in case of an emergency? We provide a list of the campgrounds we will be staying at each day of the journey including contact information. Many of our guests leave a copy of this with their loved ones in case they need to contact them.
- Is emergency medical service available? Yes. Keep in mind though that when we travel in remote areas, response times will generally be slower.
- What if I breakdown on the road? Our TailGunner travels in the back of the pack. He will not pass any rig on our tour. When he sees one of our rigs stopped along the highway, he will stop and provide assistance if needed.
- Can I bring my pet? Absolutely. We only stay at campgrounds that allow pets. Most campgrounds offer pet sitting services if you need to be away for extended periods of time.
- Do we have full services every night of the tour? Generally, there is electric, water and sewer available at the campgrounds. In the more remote areas and in Mexico, only 15 amp service, and water are available. There may be several nights of dry camping planed for your tour.
- How much free time is available? A lot. Travel times are generally planned so that you will get to the campground by 2:00 pm. There are also free days in the schedule.
- Can we buy food along the way? All major towns have grocery stores. Our trip documentation will help you to plan food purchases. Almost all of the campgrounds have restaurants within walking distance.
- Are there any evening activities? We plan an Ice Cream Social, a Wine and Cheese Party, several dessert nights and based on the desires of the group, we plan bingo, cards and potluck dinners.
- What is the difference between SuperSaver and Deluxe? The SuperSaver level of service is designed for the travelers who want to take advantage of traveling with a caravan but want to make their own decisions on what side tours to participate in. The Deluxe level of service adds over 80 organized events to the basic SuperSaver package.
