Since you asked, I would rent what I would like to drive (Jeep, Corvette or VAN) and do the hotels or B&B's. A little research and you can find some great outta the way B&B's and some of the chains (like Hampton Inns and/or Hilton) will help with the planning.

My 2%


I changed my mind somewhat on my advice. Take whatever will allow you the flexibility to stop whenever you want, do a side trip anytime you see something interesting and that drives easy on the backroads. Because the interstate highways are NOT America, the backroads and the people who live there, that's America.

Thanks CatFish,
much appreciated and I agree, I annoy my wife sometimes when we go down the coast I pick my way thru the suburbs instead of using the freeway.

Hi Guys, just a quick update, we are looking at leaving Oz on Aug 3rd, just have to get clearance from my doc. That wont be a prob.
Planning on at least 5 weeks over there, will be happy to say where were heading if you want to know.
One thing is a must and thats Long Beach swap meet Aug 5. question would there be a dedicated area catering for Cgevy vans, I mean do they sort of group various makes and models in certain areas to make it easier to locate?
we`ll have a bout a week in LA before heading off to Memphis, cheers for now.
