My wife and I have traveled in the US five times by a rental RV in past five years. Recent travel was coast to coast and return to the West coast in 2013. It’s approximately 16,000 miles and 50 days. Please refer to an article“Maps of My past RV Travels within the US”. Sometimes we traced the super road that RVS might have driven and boondocked at the same spot where once she have been right there!

Q2：Do you plan to travel in the USA again?
A2:：Why not? Sure I’d love to!

As soon as time and money allow, I'll fly across over the Pacific Ocean anyway.
I’m very fond of America and American. I love the secluded and quiet camp site surrounded spectacular view, especially without any clingers like where RVS loves too, like no where in Japan. 

I am obtaining much more good tips about RV traveling in the US and receiving news of campgrounds by reading RVS’s posts and watching many photos taken by her.

But I’ve rented a “Camping Car” (that an RV is called in Japan) once befor I got an RV.

Q4：Have you or will you travel in other parts of the world?
A4：Yes, I have. But I have no plans to travel in otherparts of the world now.

As mentioned above, I do love America and American.
I’ve travel within the US by an rent-a-car around 30 years ago at first. I just remember an experience that it had taken approx. 2 hrs from picking um at a hotel to finishing the paperwork up at their office before going for a drive due to my BAD English. But I had never missed a single word “Nice Japanese!” Since then I’ve been studying English little by little. In hindsight they had to take an awful lot of patience to work with me.

I’ve one business trip experience through the US to Mexico. There have been the TV production plants in Tijuana for NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement). So, I had been in J company as an engineer for 27 years after graduated from university. But I’m a freelance now, a little while after J Company was merger and acquisition by K Company.

I’ve billion of business trip experiences within Asia (Hong Kong, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia) and had been on an overseas assignment in China.

When I was a single, I’ve decided on buying a new car in former West Germany and traveled around Europe with my friend in my brand-new BMW. It’s an awesome experience that I picked up my car at the HQ of BMW within the great cylindrical building in Bayern Munich.

My wife is a nurse and has gone on sightseeing trips around the world more times and places than me.

Q5：Do you have your own recreational vehicle in Japan?
A5：Yes, I do. I own an RV made in the US. (owned：former RVer)

27 feet long Class C Motorhome with a slideout. I've visited the manufacturer of my RV. Please refer to an article “RV Factory Tour” at that time.

You could find pix of my rig if you search with a key word “JapaneseRVer”. There is a photo of my RV with Mt. Fuji in the background on wordpress or BlogSpot.

My Class C RV is a gas guzzler with under 10 mpg, as you know. Please refer to an article “The Mileage Chart in the US and in Japan”.

It’s hard to manage her hobby and my RVing at the same time in a modest budget and with cheap maintenance costs in Japan.

That’s why I’m seriously thinking a light weight RV. And I have to satisfy with the proposal for my wife’s favorite. It’s a sports car. So, I’m planning to build a light weight travel trailer/toy hauler towing with her Porsche.

The trailer must haul my heavy motorcycle like a rock, because the Perfect Tow Vehicle is hers andI would like to take a different route sometimes.

So, Casita/Scamp could not haul a motorcycle, and other toy haulers are too heavy to tow with a sports car or too wide (102”) to tow in Japan.

There has been no other ways left to us but to go with building anoriginal trailer or getting a Tail Feather Camper for our Best Little Trailer.

They weigh about 900 lbs empty. It would hold your motorbike and when removed, function (if designed well) as a ‘camper’. They have ramp back doors. The bigger issue is towing with aPorsche.

Looking at your blog, it looks like you prefer the 911 body style? They sitreally low to the ground so some camping areas won’t be accessible without real damage to the car. Can they be adapted for a tow package? I didn’t think it was recommended. But if thatworks out, wow… what fun!

Wells Cargo is good for a pickup track but for a Porsche 911.

Yes, the bigger issue is towing with a Porsche with low clearance and low hitchload.

Almost all camping areas in Japan are accessible without any damage to thecar. But we love primitive camping areas without clingers. Yes! her Porsche is 4WD.

They never be adapted for a tow package with Porsche 911s. No matter how it goes, I'll make it myself. Trust me, I’m an engineer!  Please refer to an article “Porsche Camper”.

Q8：Did you have amost special, favorite, place here in the USA? Or a place you didn’t get to but wanted to see?
A8：Yes.

I love everywhere in the US, even if it would be in NY. So, I’m still chasing a dream for the Manhattan Tour. Please refer to an article “Route to Manhattan by an RV”.

But as mentioned above, I/we love the secluded and quiet camp site surrounded spectacular view without any clingers. No such place exists in small Japan.

The most special/favorite place of my wife is the Gulf Islands Nat’l Seashore at the Florida Panhandle. Because she loves the view of the sun rising above/sinking below the horizon from seashore. No reason not to swoon over strikingly colorful/dramatic skies. Wishing she could stay there with splendid vast and snow-white sand beaches indefinitely.

Me… Neighboring area of the Ah-Shi-Sle-Pah Wilderness Study Area and the Bisti/De-Na-Zin Wilderness, NM is the best of the best!

That place is, nothing exists, even animals, bugs and vegetation. And NO SOUND! Only VAST Barren but Colorful Land spread-out with various-shaped weird hoodoos who speak something with no voice. It’s like a very spiritual place and a good spot to fill my soul and clear my mind. Please refer to one of some articles “The King of Wings, NM”.
