While free camping is only allowed in designated areas throughout the USA, there are plenty of locations where you can do this.

Both the US Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management care for millions of hectares (millions of acres) of land where free camping is allowed.

Many retailers and casinos may also allow you to camp for a night in their parking lot with permission from the owner.

There are also truck stops and rest stops where you can park for a night, many of which have facilities included.

The majority of campervan rental suppliers in the US do not offer unlimited kilometres as a standard rental inclusion.

In most cases, kilometres are capped at a daily rate and additional fees will be incurred if you exceed the limit. Additional kilometres can usually also be prepurchased in packages ranging from 160 km up to unlimited, however, any remaining kilometres will not be refunded when the vehicle is returned.

This depends on the company. Several suppliers will allow you to travel to Canada in your rental vehicle, including Apollo, El Monte, Jucy, Campervan North America, Travellers Autobarn, Escape Rentals and Cruise America.

Please contact support for information on other suppliers. You must comply with visa and customs requirements at all times.

Most rental companies only allow their vehicles to be driven on paved roads.

In addition, note the following restrictions regarding specific areas:

• Mexico - With the exception of El Monte, travel to Mexico is prohibited in rental vehicles.
• Death Valley - Restrictions can vary between suppliers, but travel is generally allowed. However, it may be restricted during certain times of the year. Check with your rental supplier for full details.
• New York City/Downtown Manhattan - RVs are generally not allowed due to vehicle height restrictions around the city.
• Canada - RVs are generally allowed; however, travel to certain locations may be restricted during colder seasons.

If you take your vehicle where it is not permitted, you will be liable for all damages incurred, and an additional fine may be imposed.

Check your rental agreement for any further restrictions regarding your RV rental.

Class A RVs are the biggest, most expensive vehicles, and often come equipped with additional luxuries. Being larger they can be a little hard to manoeuvre for first-time drivers.

Class A motorhomes are built on either a vehicle chassis, commercial truck chassis, or a commercial bus chassis, and run on either diesel or gas, depending on the type of engine.

Usually, Class A vehicles are fully loaded with all amenities and a large living space.

A stay at an RV park will usually cost around $25–$80 (USD) per night.

The cost of campgrounds has risen in recent years due to the popularity of RV vacations in the US.
