Steve has convinced this couple to take a look at the big RV.

• Rent an RV for about $500 per weekend.
  
• With a 60-gallon fuel tank, some RVs can go about 550 miles between fill ups.
  
• A full-size RV requires twice the following distance of a car.
  
• No special license is required to drive an RV.
  
• RVs with generators allow you to use the air conditioning, TV and microwave when parked.
  
• The 60-gallon water tank is used for bathroom and sink only. Bring bottled water to drink.
  
• "Gennies" run on gasoline from the main fuel tank and automatically shut off if the fuel gets below a quarter of a tank.
  
• When parking, use the convex wide angle side mirror.
