Planning to spend a couple weeks in Utah next Sept. Plan to fly and rent Class A/B/C. Just wife and myself. We did this last summer to Alaska and loved it. Had a Class C there. We want to visit the Big 5. Thinking fly into Salt Lake City. Suggestions for renting? Since we will not have a toad, 25' or 26' best? Any suggestions appreciated, just starting to plan the trip. Thx

See Valley of Gods and Monument Valley on UT/AZ border


Please give me enough troubles, uncertainty, problems, obstacles and STRESS so that I do not become arrogant, proud, and smug in my own abilities, and enough blessings and good times that I realize that someone else is in charge of my life.

If I remember correctly (its been a few years) there are a couple tunnels that will cause you some concern. MH's have to get special clearance and close the road while they go through. Might want to check that out.

I myself would have a more enjoyable time renting a car also while there

We have always had a TT, so want to try out Class A/C for retirement.

If you are AAA members, their Indian Country specialty map is very good for planning the trip. Also called the Grand Circle trip on various forums. It can still be a hot trip in September but just go for it.

Have you Googled RV Rentals in the Salt Lake City area? Just looked at Outdoorsy and they have several Roadtrek vans for rent.

Check the info on RV's and the tunnel in Zion NP. I'm not sure if they will fit. This may effect your route.

Huge buses go through the tunnel and some FW's.
