Do it - it is quite simply the best holiday you will do. Me and the other half flew into San Fran, did a quick one day tour, then picked up our 25ft RV.

We spent 5 days driving from SF to Los Angeles via Santa Cruz, Big Sur, Pebble Beach (17 mile drive - A-MAH-ZING!!), Hearst Castle, Monteray, Malibu and a couple of other places... probably not in that order as my memory isn't great!!

The views, the places, the fun you will have, will far outweigh any costs you may have to spend!!

It might be fun to do in a funky convertable and stay places, but having your home in the back of the van makes it so, so easy. There are so many camp sites along route one that are reasonably well priced.... some very basic, some with pools and jacuzzis!!!


Was my favourite holiday to date and I would love to go back... wish we had more time to go a little further.

I've never driven SF to LA but have driven LA to SF a few times. It's a great drive and very peaceful. I'm not a camping girl myself (I don't see the point when there are perfectly decent 4 star hotels with room service) but if that's what works for you then there's nowhere better than California. Enjoy.

If.....



If you "do" car camping ( everything goes in the boot, you drive & camp thingy ) then look out for this place


R.E.I.


I used them when I was climbing in & around that area


Join before you go, very good hire deals, from an "air bed" to a "white water raft"


( of course you will need one of those )


But caution when in the shop though. I went a bit mad and bough tons of new climbing kit ( of course I need it all dear ) as it's still way cheaper than here



W**F

When I considered doing this it was expensive and it means spending your holiday driving a truck.


These winniebago's have a very long over-hang from behind the back wheels and you can get into all kinds of trouble if you do not allow for it.


My brother lived for a while in one that was as big as a bus, and it was not an easy thing to drive and less so to manoeuvre.

A GREAT night with you and sazzle at the Clockhouse last night. Even though we found ourselves in the pub quiz and came a respectable middlish - I hope you have a great time and look forward to seeing you both again end of September. Shall we make it another Wednesday? ;)

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
