LPG actually has a lower calorific value than petrol, which leads to a decrease in power, which then affects efficiency because the driver keeps the throttle open for longer. With the V8 Vortec engine our RV has, it can actually be run on LPG or CNG, and with appropriate timing adjustments should be almost as efficient as when running on petrol. However, we don’t think our Prins system has that much optimisation, given it has to switch between petrol and LPG on demand.

It’s not so much a welcoming issue for us, just that entry tourist visas (for UK citizens) are limited to 3 months by default, and you have to leave for a while before you can re-enter. Too many re-entries can also be frowned upon.

At the moment our best plan is to come over, buy and register an RV through an LLC, and then tour for 3 months, store the RV, return to the UK and work for another 3 months, go back out to the US and take the RV out of storage, and repeat. However, it’s a big step as we’d need to find the funds for all the flying and managing an RV in the US as well as a place to stay in the UK.

Hi Giulia,

Thanks for your comment, we hope you’re enjoying the blog.

Sorry, but we haven’t included pricing for campsites as each site generally has quite complex tariffs. For example, at Barco Reale, they have 6 different types of pitch, and they charge on top of that per adult, child, pet, additional car, wifi etc. If we try to include all of the details then it will get very complex, and will quickly go out of date.

If you think it would help, we could start putting an overall cost that we paid, and indicate if a site includes discounts for ACSI card etc. But we think it’s still best to estimate your price on the campsites own website or by calling them direct.

Thank you. I am glad you are enjoying our blog. x

Thank you for your lovely comment, I am glad you are enjoying our blog. We did indeed manage quite a lot of gelato! We would love to tour America someday but it is difficult to get visas.
