RVs improving international relations
Renting an RV from CruiseAmerica is a great way for out-of-country visitors to see the U.S.A. The Moeller family from Dessau, Germany are enjoying Michigan’s Upper Peninsula with one of these RV motorhome rentals.
They were camped next to us at the Tee Pee Campground in Mackinac City, Michigan.
They came here to pick up their daughter, Mathilde, who was an exchange student here this past year. They wisely decided to combine an RV vacation along the way. The father Frank is a vascular surgeon and their son Paul is a first year medical student. The mom, Adrea, is a hospital secretary who says, “Americans are very nice here, everyone is very friendly and helpful.” Frank says, “The cars (he means motorhomes) here are big and not fit in campground in Germany.” We gave them a tour of our motorhome and spent the evening visiting with them using the daughter (who learned English well during her stay) as an interpreter. “Das is gut, Ja?” is about the extent of my German, but with hand signals, drawings, and an interpreter we had an excellent visit.
The kids were having a great time as our long time RV friend Bill Isetts entertained the kids by making balloon animals and hats.
RVers, no matter where they’re from are the nicest people on the planet and RVing is the best way to see the planet. In our travels we’ve met RVers from all over the world and have seen RVs that have actually been around the world. Frankly, I think the world would be a more peaceful and friendly place if everyone was an RVer! Jim Twamley, Professor of RVing

Most of them should not be allowed behind the wheel of a motor home. My DW & myself cringe everytime we see one of them & are extra careful because you can bet they are going to do something stupid.

In June, we visited several national parks in southern Ut, NV, and AZ. Filled with CruiseAmerica RVs and outlanders. We would stop at viewpoints and find ourselves the only ones speaking English (and not well at that).
Likewise we talked with a friend/manager at a NP RV park. He confirmed that many Europeans were occupying his CG.
Cheap dollar, and cheap (for them) fuel makes for a cheap vacation. Not so long ago Americans could travel Europe "on $5/day." Now it's the other way around as we send our wealth out to the Middle East for oil and war.
