Ultimate Motorhome Holidays FAQ: Your Essential Guide to RV Travel in North America

Dreaming of wide open roads, endless horizons, and the freedom to explore North America at your own pace? Whether you are looking for a USA or Canada motorhome holiday, Journeyscape offers a unique, unforgettable experience that goes far beyond the ordinary. Stretching through two of the world’s largest countries, North America’s roads wind endlessly through the continent, and there’s no better way to experience its stunning landscapes than to sleep in self-contained comfort far from the urban tourist crowds. Ready to tick North America off your bucket list? Here’s why your next adventure should be behind the wheel of one of our motorhomes.

Unmatched Freedom and Flexibility for Your Own Adventure

Go Where You Want, When You Want

Unlike many holidays, on a motorhome holiday you aren’t tied to rigid itineraries. Fancy a spontaneous detour to a national park or a charming small town? Want to randomly stop for some hiking trails to witness an area’s natural beauty? With a motorhome, you can change your plans on a whim and discover hidden gems along the way.

No Packing and Unpacking

Settle in once and enjoy your home on wheels. There’s no need to lug suitcases in and out of hotels – just unpack at the start and relax for the rest of your journey. You’ll find that the facilities onboard will provide all you need for a comfortable and considered stay.

Cook Your Own Meals

All our vehicles come with fully equipped kitchens, so you can enjoy a home-cooked breakfast with a view or a barbecue at night under the stars.

Get Closer to Spectacular Scenery

Wake Up Somewhere New Every Day

From the Grand Canyon to the shores of Lake Michigan, your view can change as often as you’d like. Sleep under the stars in national parks, beside lakes, or even at a vineyard – there are also campsites aplenty.

Stay in Iconic Locations

From scenic places like New England and Nova Scotia’s Cabot Trail to the world-renowned Rocky Mountains, the iconic California coast and the beautiful scenery across provinces like Alberta and British Columbia—you can even set up camp right on the Las Vegas Strip, or just across the river from Manhattan. Our suggested itineraries and partnerships open up a world of possibilities from the West Coast to the East Coast of both America and Canada.

Connect with Nature and Each Other

Campervan holidays offer ample opportunity to enjoy the great outdoors, campfires, and quality time with family or friends. It’s a holiday that’s as much about the journey as the destination—and nothing beats the freedom of being on your own watch.

Tailored Adventures

Whether you’re a couple seeking a romantic escape, a family with kids or a group of friends, there’s a motorhome and itinerary to suit you whether you want to explore Canada or the USA.
