Imagine if you had a degenerative condition and you needed surgery out of state, but it’s difficult for you to travel. You can’t fly, and most importantly, you want your partner to join you along with your dog, who brings you joy and comfort. This is where hiring a private RV driver can be priceless.
Benefits of a Private RV Driver
For one of our recent LiTRV clients, renting a luxury motorcoach proved to be the best solution for this sensitive scenario. Our client was anxious about having complex surgery on their hand. They wanted a smooth journey to receive medical care and then recover from the surgery in a home-like environment before traveling more than 1,000 miles back to their home. Renting a luxury motorcoach gave them the option of traveling in a “hotel suite on wheels,” including the convenience of an expansive kitchen, comfortable beds, multiple bathrooms, washer and dryer and even a dishwasher.
It was their first experience renting a luxury motorcoach along with a private RV driver, and while they chose to do so for the convenience, they were pleasantly surprised at how much our LiTRV driver went above and beyond to make them comfortable during their journey. Our driver looked out for them and their dog to make sure they had everything they needed. In many ways, he was their guide and advocate. At one point after the surgery, when our client realized they could not tie their shoes because of the cast on their hand, our driver didn’t hesitate to help lace up their shoes.
Our clients often sing the praises of our professional drivers. LiTRV’s private drivers are committed to our clients’ safety, comfort and convenience. They have decades of experience driving RVs and other large vehicles throughout the country. They are used to driving long hours, navigating twists and turns on mountain roads, and adjusting to diverse weather conditions.
Experts to Handle Every Situation
Most importantly, LiTRV professional drivers care about our clients’ experiences. They don’t just “clock in and clock out.” Whether the Wi-Fi stops working, the bathroom light goes out, or the motorcoach gets a flat tire along the way, LiTRV drivers have the knowledge and training to make repairs or find help nearby. And when there’s an overnight stop, we arrange for our driver to stay nearby so clients can enjoy their privacy.
Sometimes our private drivers will adjust the travel itinerary based on a client’s desire to change plans while on their journey. Other times, our private drivers will make a special trip to a pet store to pick up a pet ramp, so older dogs can easily enter and exit the motorcoach.
Recently, we had a client who wanted to stay for a few months on a premier site overlooking the Pacific Ocean at a luxury RV resort in Malibu. Knowing that they were staying awhile there and realizing that the site was covered in California sand and loose dirt, our driver coordinated the installation of fake grass on the site so they could relax outside and enjoy the beautiful sunsets.
Another time, our LiTRV private driver picked up a single mother and her kids who were moving across the country to another city. On the first day of the trip, the mother became very ill and tested positive for Covid. Throughout the rest of the trip, our driver took extra care to make sure she and the children had enough food, water, juice, soup, tissues, cough drops and other items to help ease their discomfort from being sick.
Safe, Comfortable, Reliable Luxury Transportation
These are just some examples of how a LiTRV private RV driver goes above and beyond their responsibilities of providing safe and comfortable transportation to make our clients’ experiences positive in their luxury motorcoach rentals. We’re proud that our drivers have a culture of caring and that they are always seeking ways to enhance our clients’ travel experiences.

Delight in a Culinary Adventure On Your Next Luxury Motorcoach Experience
Our LiTRV concierge specialists can help you research renowned chefs and fine dining establishments and assist with making reservations. Here are three diverse fine dining options:
Vetri Cucina, Philadelphia, PA
Spend a few days in historic Philadelphia, visiting the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, or the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Along the way, try some cuisine that Philadelphia is known for, including cheesesteak, stromboli, and hoagies. But save your appetite for an evening with award-winning Chef Marc Vetri at Vetri Cucina.
Located in a historic townhome in the heart of Philadelphia, Vetri Cucina has received numerous honors, including being a nominee and a recipient of the prestigious James Beard Foundation Awards for excellence in the food and beverage industry.
With seating for 32, the intimate dining room evokes the charms of Italy with custom crafted features including hand-blown Murano glass chandeliers, Richard Ginori porcelain and Venetian glassware.
Order from a classic tasting menu, which features a four-course menu with options to select from within each course. There will be a selection of antipasti, pasta, secondi and dessert where you will choose one option from each section of the menu. Depending on when you visit, you may also order from their seasonal forchetta menu, which features a multi-course chef selected tasting menu experience. This menu is offered alongside their classic tasting menu. With two temperature-controlled cellars housing more than 2,500 bottles, the restaurant’s wine list is carefully curated and managed by a team of certified sommeliers. The collection represents every region of Italy, as well as a sampling of the world’s classic wine regions.
After dinner, relax in your luxury motorcoach while your private driver takes you to your next destination. One option is the Stoneybrook RV Resort in Lehighton in Eastern Pennsylvania, about 90 minutes from Philadelphia. This luxury RV resort features deluxe sites with private patios, pristine landscaping, spa-style bathhouses, a heated swimming pool, fishing pond, and basketball and pickleball courts. The luxury resort is also within 30 minutes of the breathtaking Appalachian Trail and nearby lakes.
Plant, Asheville, North Carolina
For a healthy fine dining choice, consider Plant, an evolving chef-driven vegetable, fruit, and active-foods restaurant in Asheville, North Carolina. Everything is made in-house using fresh produce that’s local and organic when possible. From ideation to plating, Plant knocks their culinary creativity out of the park.
Jason Sellers, Leslie Armstrong, and Alan Berger opened Plant in the summer of 2011. Since then, the restaurant has received many accolades, including being voted Best Vegetarian Restaurant in the city, Healthiest Bite, Greenest Restaurant, and Best Service. Plant has garnered attention nationally, making lists from Zagat, Food and Wine, and PETA.
Plant is vegan, 90% organic, often local, and mostly gluten free. No animal products are used in house. The restaurant makes almost everything from scratch. They use three types of organic oil: extra virgin olive, sunflower, coconut, and toasted sesame. They do not use peanut, soy, or corn oil, and they do not use isolated protein, be it soy or otherwise.
The contemporary ambiance is equally impressive. Dinner is served from an open kitchen and bar, with 13 tables, 47 seats, kitchen-side dining, and a seasonal 20-seat dog friendly patio. In addition, Plant strives to provide cleaner air. The restaurant’s HVAC system features a Reme-Halo IAG hydro-peroxide/zinc ionizing blue light installed in line with its filter. Allergens, bacteria, viruses, and pollutants filtered from the air all meet their demise before air is recirculated in the restaurant.
Our LiTRV team can find accommodations nearby, or one option is to stay at Mountain Falls Luxury Motorcoach Resort in Lake Toxaway, North Carolina. The luxury RV resort is about an hour away from Asheville, tucked away in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Surrounded by spectacular views, the resort features a private clubhouse lodge, 8 pickleball courts, a 9-hole executive golf course, a fitness center, 2 pools and bath houses, a hot spa, a dog park, and laundry facilities.
Versailles Restaurant, Miami, Florida
Miami is known for its golden beaches, world-class cuisine, Latin vibe, and vibrant nightlife. There are many fine dining choices in this colorful, exciting city. One option for Cuban cuisine is Versailles Restaurant. Soon after it opened its doors in 1971, Versailles became the gathering place and unofficial town square for Miami’s Cuban exiles. With its uniquely French inspired aesthetic, the iconic establishment is a landmark to the community and remains the unrelenting gauge of the city’s diversifying pulse.
At the center of this is Versailles’ “La Ventanita,” the walk-up coffee window famous for its Cuban “cafecito” and reputation for its local provenance. Gastronomically, the restaurant is acclaimed for preserving the heritage of Cuban cuisine, with an extensive Cuban menu. In 1998 the restaurant expanded to include its on-site Versailles Bakery, assuring all pastries, breads and desserts are made from scratch in house and served at its freshest point.
One benefit of having a private driver is that you can enjoy a pitcher of Sangria with dinner or a few specialty drinks and not worry about who will be the designated driver. One option for accommodations is Aztec Luxury RV Resort in Fort Lauderdale, about 35 minutes from Miami. The resort is exclusively for Class A motorcoaches providing full hook ups, with rentals available nightly, weekly or seasonally. Some of the amenities include shuffleboard courts, horseshoe, a putting green, two tennis courts, a pickleball court, a volleyball court, and a pétanque court. In addition to being near Miami, the resort provides easy access to Pompano Beach and nearby casinos.

As summer starts, now is the perfect time to plan a unique, memorable fall vacation RV rental. One fun autumn experience is to visit an apple cidery while vacationing in a luxury motorcoach with a private driver.
If you’ve never traveled in a luxury motorcoach, think of it as a plush “hotel suite on wheels” with all the comforts of home, including the convenience of an expansive kitchen, comfortable beds, multiple bathrooms, washer and dryer, a dishwasher, and plenty of storage space for your luggage.
Our LiTRV team will help you assess which fall vacation RV rental option is best for you, plan your itinerary, which might include staying a luxury RV resort, and we’ll arrange for a private driver so you and your family and friends can relax during the journey and not stress about who is the designated driver while tasting various hard ciders.
Why Schedule a Fall Vacation RV Rental to an Apple Cidery?
Apple cider is made of pressed fresh apples. Unfiltered and raw, it doesn’t contain added sugar, undergoes minimal processing, and is usually unpasteurized. It tends to be slightly darker than apple juice, opaque, and can sometimes have residue at the bottom. Many people like to drink apple cider because it contains polyphenols, which are compounds in plants that act as antioxidants. Some say these can help lower your risk of certain types of cancer, diabetes, and heart disease.
Cider is typically non-alcoholic, but hard cider contains an alcohol content like that of beer. Hard cider is made by fermenting the juice of apples or other pome fruits.
Throughout the country, there are thousands of varieties of apples grown, which produce cider that range in flavor from sweet and sparkling to crisp, dry, or sour. Here are five apple cideries to consider visiting while vacationing in a luxury motorcoach:
1. Finger Lakes Cider Trail, Upstate New York
One good reason to plan a trip to the Finger Lakes Region in upstate New York is that you can visit multiple cideries, tasting rooms and farms on the Finger Lakes Cider Trail. This unique collaboration between cideries and apple growers spans the Finger Lakes Region, with orchards and tasting rooms overlooking Keuka Lake to the west and clustered between Seneca and Cayuga Lakes to the east.
The Finger Lakes is home to the USDA Apple Germplasm in Geneva, one the largest collections of apples in the world. The collection includes over 6,079 samples ranging from early North American heirlooms to English and Spanish cider apples, wild apples from Central Asia, Turkey and even Bhutan. Apple varieties like Empire, Cortland, Jonagold, Spigold, Redfield and Macoun were developed at the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station in Geneva, now named Cornell AgriTech, joining other famous New York apples like Northern Spy, Newtown Pippin and Esopus Spitzenburg.
One option for your trip may include a stay at Finger Lakes RV Resort in Hector, New York, which is about 10 minutes from Watkins Glen and 30 minutes from Ithaca. This peaceful resort is in the heart of the Seneca Lake Wine Trail with two wineries and a diner adjacent to the property, and over 30 wineries, breweries, and distilleries within 10 miles. The resort’s spacious sites feature full hookups, a gravel patio, large yard, a picnic table and a fire ring. LiTRV can check availability, make reservations, and once you arrive at the resort, your private driver will help you get set up and then stay nearby so you and your family or friends can enjoy your privacy.
There are several popular apple cideries within 25 minutes of the resort. These include Bellwether Hard Cider, Black Diamond Farm and Cider, Finger Lakes Cider House, Blackduck Cidery, New York Cider Company, and Redbyrd Orchard Cider.
2. Island Orchard Cider, Ellison Bay, Wisconsin
Visit Island Orchard Cider’s taproom to taste award-winning ciders from the nearby Washington Island orchard. Back in 2005, Island Orchard Cider’s owners bought and started the process of planting the orchard with 200 dwarf apple trees – all cider-making cultivars. Today, their orchard features more than 3,000 cider fruit trees with 41 apple cultivars and 11 pear cultivars. In May 2023, Island Orchard Cider earned four Silver Medals at the Great Lakes International Cider & Perry Competition (GLINTCAP). GLINTCAP is the largest and most prestigious hard cider competition in the world, with all judging done by blind taste tests.
Due to a similar climate and soil, the apple varietals planted at Island Orchard Cider are like those found in Normandy, France. In the orchard, they harvest all the fruit by hand. The harvest begins in late September and runs through mid-November. Island Orchard Cider’s taproom in Ellison Bay offers the full range of ciders, including small batch draft releases of experimental ciders from their sister Pomona Cider Co. in Milwaukee. Enjoy the tasting room inside or relax on the dog-friendly outdoor patio or quieter picnic tables out back.
LiTRV can explore nearby RV resorts that can accommodate Class A luxury motorcoaches, including HTR Door County in Egg Harbor, which is about 30 minutes from Island Orchard Cider in Ellison Bay. Conveniently located on a fun-filled peninsula between Lake Michigan and Green Bay and close to five state parks, HTR Door county is adjacent to The Orchards of Egg Harbor Golf Course and local shops and restaurants. Amenities include a small private yard, fire pit, picnic table, concrete driveway, and patio. Premier executive sites are just a stroll to the resort’s heated outdoor pool, arcade, and dog park.
3. Cold Hollow Cider Mill, Waterbury Center, Vermont
A trip to the “Green Mountain State” to see the fall foliage might also include a stop at Cold Hollow Cider Mill in Waterbury Center, Vermont. Take a free, self-guided tour of the working cider mill, watch cider donuts being made daily on an old school donut machine, and take in the breathtaking views of the Worchester Mountain Range. The cider mill also offers a chance to watch fresh raw cider being pressed the authentic way on a rare, vintage rack-and-color press from 9 a.m. to noon Monday through Thursday. Visit the café and tasting room to enjoy real Vermont McIntosh cider and other seasonal, dry hopped-based, fruit-enhanced, and traditional hard ciders.
Traveling through Vermont could include a stay at Apple Island RV Resort in South Hero, which is about an hour from Cold Hollow Cider Mill. Overlooking the beautiful Lake Champlain, this luxury resort includes professionally-designed, oversized, full hook-up sites, many of which overlook the lake in a tiered fashion to allow views for everyone. The refreshingly spacious RV sites are perfect for Class A motorcoaches. Each accommodation includes a picnic table, a fire ring, and complimentary WiFi. Guests also have the option of reserving a Platinum, Gold, or a Silver site for their luxury motorcoach.
4. 2 Towns Ciderhouse, Corvallis, Oregon
With 22 rotating taps plus more available by the bottle, including rare and Tap Room-only releases, 2 Towns Ciderhouse likes to tout being ground zero for all things cider. Friends from two nearby towns started the cider house in 2010, and it has grown to offer cider, mead, beer, hard seltzer, and snacks in a friendly atmosphere that includes board games, a dog-friendly patio and a 135” big screen for watching sports.
2 Towns Ciderhouse is about an hour drive inland from Oregon’s pristine coast. When planning your fall vacation RV rental, you might consider staying at the Pacific Shores Motorcoach Resort, a five-star resort that features luxurious lots, spectacular sunsets, a private beach, and whale watching.
The 22-acre, gated resort includes many high-end amenities, such as a spacious clubhouse with an indoor pool and spa, sauna, workout center and full laundry and shower facilities. The resort’s second pool and spa in an outdoor setting is located on the north side of the property, just steps away from forest walking trails and pickleball and basketball courts.
A short stroll down the resort’s private beach trail takes you to the Pacific Ocean where you’ll find stunning views of the Yaquina Bay lighthouse and photogenic rock formations.
5. Apiary, Carpinteria, California
Fall is a great time to visit seaside towns of California, including Carpinteria in southeastern Santa Barbara County. Old Town Carpinteria is the third most expensive neighborhood in the United States, perhaps because of its appeal to surfers and for being known as the “World’s Safest Beach,” a slogan the city adopted in 1912 and still uses today.
The town is also home to Apiary, which takes a unique approach to making fresh cider. The owners met at a small Maker’s Market event for local food and beverage creators in 2015. They launched their business in a small warehouse space so they could experiment, learn, and explore the possibilities of brewing healthier alcohol. Each day, they would ferment honey, apples, fruits, and botanicals in 15-gallon kegs and then open the bar every weekend to share their latest beverage discoveries with friends. Today, they are open every day, and their taproom features a rotating selection of cider and mead, made with local honey and organic apples grown in Santa Barbara County.
Sun Outdoors Santa Barbara RV Resort is a 40-minute drive from Apiary with scenic views of the ocean. Located in Goleta, California, this luxury RV Resort was formerly known as Ocean Mesa RV Resort. The resort is situated between the Pacific Ocean and Ynez Mountains, offering spectacular views and a stunning backdrop for activities and adventure. The pet-friendly resort offers a range of amenities and activities, including hiking, swimming, horseshoes, and movie nights on the market lawn.

You’ve probably seen luxury motorcoaches on the road, or perhaps a neighbor or colleague owns one. These Class A luxury motorcoach rentals are the most extravagant RVs on the market, ranging from 39 to 45 feet long. Some people refer to them as “land yachts” since they feature all the comforts of home including the convenience of an expansive kitchen, comfortable beds, multiple bathrooms, washer and dryer and even a dishwasher.
The good news is that you don’t have to buy a luxury motorcoach to enjoy memorable travel experiences on the road. You secure a luxury motorcoach rental for a memorable vacation or one-way travel, such as moving cross-country. You can even take your pets with you and hook up your car or recreational vehicles to the back of the motorcoach.
You might be thinking, “That sounds great, but I don’t know how to drive a large motorcoach, and I wouldn’t know what to do if a problem arose on the road.”
Let Us Do the Driving
Fortunately, when you rent a luxury motorcoach from LiTRV, you can have peace of mind knowing that you’re working with a full-service firm. We take care of all the details, and we can also arrange for a private driver so you can relax with your family and friends.

We’ll Help Plan Your Itinerary
When you choose LiTRV, the process of luxury motorcoach rental for a vacation is not that different from renting a room in a high-end resort. There are many options, and much depends on what type of vacation adventure you desire and your budget.
Consider us your personal concierge. We’ll help you assess which luxury motorcoach is the best fit for your family or friends and we’ll work closely with you to plan your itinerary. We can make reservations at luxury RV resorts as well as popular resorts and spas.

We Inspect Your Luxury Motorcoach Rental Before Your Trip
Is many ways, our business model is like Airbnb. We source the luxury motorcoaches from owners whom we work with. And in some cases, the owners contract us to keep up maintenance of their motorcoach.
We’re committed to making sure every luxury motorcoach is safe, clean, and that all amenities are working properly. Our LiTRV team inspects each coach prior to rental, and should a problem arise on the road during your journey, our professional drivers may be able to solve the problem, or we’ll arrange for mobile service or find another timely solution.
If you’re ready to treat yourself to a memorable vacation in a luxury motorcoach, plan on budgeting a minimum of $15,000 for one week. Our prices are all-inclusive, so when we provide an estimate, you won’t be surprised by hidden fees after you return from your trip.

As temperatures begin to warm up, it’s a great time to plan your summer RV vacation rental, whether it’s with family or friends. Travel industry experts are predicting another busy summer of airline travel, especially in Europe. France will host the Summer Olympics in Paris and Taylor Swift is touring Europe.
Closer to home, domestic airline and rental car prices are rising. There’s a pretty good chance you’ll encounter large crowds and delays at the airport if you plan to fly and more traffic on the road.
This year, why not try a different type of summer adventure for your vacation? When you rent a luxury motorcoach through LiTRV, you’ll travel in a plush “hotel suite on wheels” and avoid many of the challenges with flying and driving. You will have all the comforts of home, including the convenience of an expansive kitchen, comfortable beds, multiple bathrooms, washer and dryer, a dishwasher, and plenty of storage space for your luggage.
Our LiTRV team will help you assess which luxury RV rental option is best for you, plan your itinerary, and we’ll arrange for a professional driver so you and your family and friends can relax during the journey. Once at your destination, our LiTRV driver stays nearby so you can enjoy your privacy in the motorcoach, but still have access to him or her should you need assistance.

Millions of people are currently making plans to watch the rare Total Solar Eclipse on April 8, 2024. This event, which will last up to 4 minutes and 27 seconds, will see the 200-mile path of totality enter the United States in Texas from Mexico, traveling through Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine. One way to experience this dramatic celestial event is by renting a Class A luxury motorcoach so you and your family or friends can travel comfortably to one of the destinations in the path of totality.
Our LiTRV team can assist you in assessing your rental options, planning your itinerary, and arranging for a professional driver so you can relax in the plush confines of your “hotel suite on wheels.” You will have all the comforts of home, including the convenience of an expansive kitchen, comfortable beds, multiple bathrooms, washer and dryer, and even a dishwasher.
What is a Total Solar Eclipse of the Sun?
A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby obscuring the view of the Sun from a small part of the Earth, totally or partially. Unlike an Annular Solar Eclipse, which results in a “ring of fire” in the sky, a Total Solar Eclipse darkens the daytime sky. In places along the path of totality, observers will be able to view the sun’s corona – the outermost part of the Sun’s atmosphere. The corona is usually hidden by the bright light of the Sun’s surface. During a Total Solar Eclipse, nocturnal animals sometimes wake up confused, thinking night has arrived.
While more than 30 million people live in the path of totality, millions more are expected to travel to destinations in the path to experience this rare phenomenon. The last Total Solar Eclipse visible in the United States occurred in August 2017 – prior to that, it had been close to 100 years since the total eclipse passed over the entire continent. Those who miss the Total Solar Eclipse on April 8 will need to wait until August 23, 2044, to experience this awe-inspiring cosmic event.
Use Your Luxury Motorcoach to the Best Viewing Vantage Points
There are plenty of options for viewing the Total Solar Eclipse. For example:
Texas
In Texas, the Total Solar Eclipse will enter, crossing over the Panhandle Plains and the Permian Basin, then making its way down to the Gulf Coast. In the Hill Country, observers will witness it as far north as Fredericksburg, as far south as Uvalde, to the west in Rocksprings, and New Braunfels in the east. Additionally, 31 state parks in Texas lie in the path of totality. Our LiTRV team can assist you in locating a nearby luxury RV resort so that you can be among the first to witness the full total eclipse around 1:40 p.m. local time.
Arkansas
In Arkansas, LiTRV co-owner Mike Bloomquist will travel to witness the event near the small town of Big Flat. “We are planning a family reunion to coincide with this rare event and have arranged to make our LiTRV base camp at a local craft brewery called Gravity Brew Works. I hope to use our 2023 Berkshire 45xlt with two bunks and two full bathrooms to allow for a great ‘host’ spot for us to set up camp,” he said. Mike and his family will be staying at White Oaks Cabins & RV, which is some 15 minutes from Big Flat in the secluded town of Fifty Six. The serene property features rivers, caverns, hiking trails and natural forests surrounded by waterfalls.
Other cities in the path of totality include Hot Springs, Little Rock and Jonesboro. There also are more than two dozen Arkansas state parks where you can gaze up to the sky and experience the full eclipse, which also runs through the eastern Ozarks in Missouri and Arkansas. The Ozarks is a region that is known for its rugged terrain, oak-hickory-pine forests and cedar glades, clear meandering rivers and streams, springs, caves and sinkholes. Enjoy lunch and then head outside to experience the full total eclipse around 1:50 p.m.
Vermont
In Vermont, totality can be experienced from Burlington along Lake Champlain. Montpelier, St. Johnsbury, Hardwick, Newport, St. Albans, Stowe, Waterbury, and Winooski are also in the path of totality. Ski areas in the northern region in the path include Jay Peak, Burke, Smuggler’s Notch, Stowe, Bolton Valley, and Sugarbush. While you are visiting, extend your stay and experience the beauty of this spectacular New England state.
Remember, it’s not safe to look directly at the sun without specialized eye protection designed for solar viewing. Regular sunglasses and homemade filters will not protect your eyes. You can explore your options to purchase “eclipse glasses” at camping stores, online or check out the American Astronomical Society for a list of reputable suppliers. LiTRV co-owner Mike Bloomquist also recommends GreatAmericanEclipse.com.
