Lovely car. Could I get my German Shepherd dog in the boot?

Yes I think there’s enough room for a German Shepard. We had two golf bags and trollies in the boot without having to drop the seats.
Elwood would say: “It’s 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it’s dark… and we’re wearing sunglasses.”
And Jake would respond: “ Hit it”.

Did you try CarVertical?
It really is! 34 foot, 9.5 tonne. With the slide out sides fully out it’s a beast. Not sure I’d quite appreciated the size when we hired it - that’s the internet for you I suppose!
Good luck trying to reverse park the monster.
Wow! I’m not even sure my licence would cover me to drive that😮
It gets bigger?!

Hi Bobby, are you allowed to rent one of those in the USA with just a standard UK car driver’s licence or do you have an HGV or PSV licence?
We are planning to drive down Pacific Highway 1 next year and this could be a way to do it.
Best regards, BF

I have a standard UK car licence (obtained after 1 Jan 97, so 3.5 tonne max in UK). I queried this beforehand and had the rental co confirm in writing that it was fine on my licence. I think the requirements seem to be a credit card and a pulse.
We drove north out of San Fran up highway 1, and we’re heading up the north CA and Oregon coast for a while before returning back inland via Lake Tahoe and Yosemite and returning the RV back to San Fran. We then pick up a car to do the drive south to San Diego - we’ve been told that highway 1 south of San Fran is not suitable for monster RVs (although I’ve never driven it before, others may know better than me). Hope this helps.

Don’t you plan a RV route according to Walmarts?
I am honestly alarmed you can drive that on a regular licence!

That is one of best roads in the world to drive and as I recall really only suitable for a car.
When I drove it many years ago I recall down to 10pm on some curves and a number of police on motor bikes to make sure you kept to the speed limit.
Oh perfect, thank you so much. Greatly appreciated.
Have great trip and do let us know how you get on.
Best regards, BF
The end of an era !

I currently drive a Skoda Octavia estate…another great car .
