American Panorama
Los Angeles to Orlando—just imagine the adventures you’ll have! Our suggested schedule below is just the beginning; there are hundreds of fascinating sights along the way. Once you’re on the road in your rented RV, be sure to explore these recommended attractions.
Las Vegas, Nevada: Where do we start? With attractions galore, RV campers will love this jewel of the desert! With free shuttles to the Strip from many campgrounds, you don’t have to miss a thing. The Bellagio fountains, the spectacular architecture of Excalibur and Mandalay Bay; the amazing Cirque du Soleil and dozens of first-run shows. Sleep away from the Strip in the peace and quiet of your RV, but don’t stay away long. Vegas has too much to offer!
Mesa/Phoenix, Arizona: At the foot of the Superstition Mountains, Phoenix offers an incredible variety of museums! Even if this stop on your cross-country trip is only for one day, why not pick one to visit? The Arizona Museum for Youth offers hands-on exhibits for every age, while the Museum of Natural History, also in Mesa, walks visitors through Arizona history from prehistoric times. We’ll book the motorhome rental, you choose your favorite museum and plan to have a fascinating time in Phoenix.
El Paso, Texas: This border town just across the bridge from Mexico makes a great stop along the way. Bursting with vibrant Latino culture, steeped in military history, and site of some of the oldest Catholic missions in the U.S., El Paso has plenty to keep you there an extra day!
San Antonio, Texas: The River Walk in San Antonio is a sightseer’s dream, not to mention its amazing variety of restaurants and shops. Explore stone bridges and walkways. Discover the shops in the nooks and crannies of La Villita – San Antonio’s historic arts village right on the river. Experience The Alamo in person, ride to the top of the Space Needle, and immerse yourself in Hispanic culture at El Mercado. Don’t miss the sites, smells, sounds and flavors that are San Antonio. We guarantee, you’re going to want to go back! And we’ll make it easy, with an RV rental from El Monte RV.
Vicksburg, Mississippi: This lively town may sit high above the Mississippi on a bluff, but it’s definitely tied to the river! Roll into town in your rental RV and explore riverboat gambling, historic mansions and some of the finest fried catfish in America. Ignore the temptation to roll on through; Vicksburg is definitely a stop you’ll be glad you made!
Panama City, Florida: Take time on your RV journey to experience the endless white beaches at Panama City. Let us help you book a campsite at one of the many local RV campgrounds. Let your hair down and put on your flip-flops; that Florida lifestyle is going to get under your skin!
Key Largo, Florida: If diving or deep-sea fishing is your passion, you’re going to love Key Largo! They advertise themselves as the “diving capital of the world”, and we’ve found plenty of evidence they’re right. The Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary boasts the only living coral barrier reef in North America. Fish for tarpon, visit Largo’s captivating art galleries, but don’t miss this town!
Orlando, Florida: You’ve made it! More than 4,000 miles in your RV rented from El Monte RV, and you’ve seen fabulous things along the way! Take the kids to Disneyworld, but let Mom run free in more than one hundred seventy five shops at the Prime Outlets International mall. Play golf to your heart’s content or just bask in the Florida sun. You’ve earned some pleasure, road warrior! Turn in that RV rental and spend your last day soaking up Orlando. And don’t forget to start planning next year’s trip across America!
