As successful entrepreneurs, Shiloh and Kheila J. are used to problem-solving. As the owners of multiple companies with more than 200 employees, they are passionate about the work they do in the human services industry, and their days, evenings, and weekends are often full of work-related challenges that require immediate attention.
But when it came to solving the problem of taking a much-needed vacation with their two French Bulldogs, they were not sure what to do.
They knew what they didn’t want – taking their dogs on an airplane was out of the question.
They knew they needed strong internet service because they couldn’t completely unplug from work and Shiloh also wanted it for his gaming. After nearly two years without a vacation, they desperately needed some time for themselves, but they didn’t know where to start.
Customizing a Vacation to Fit Their Needs
Shiloh started researching options and found LiTRV through a Google search. He connected with LiTRV co-owner Jim Colletti, who helped the couple research options for the customized vacation they desired.
“Neither of us had ever set foot in an RV before, let alone a luxury motorcoach, and Jim completely guided us through the planning process,” Shiloh said. “He helped us dissect our options to create the best RV experience that fit our needs. We didn’t want to spend more than a day traveling to our destination and the luxury accommodations were important to us. Ultimately, we wanted to have the ability to tune out from the world and enjoy our time together.”
Jim recommended a trip from their home in Virginia to Hilton Head Island Motorcoach Resort on Hilton Head Island in South Carolina. The beautiful luxury RV resort is set on 50 acres of fully landscaped property, about a mile from the beach, with biking paths, pickleball courts, tennis courts, shuffleboard courts, a resort pool, fully equipped gym, large clubhouse, laundry facilities and most importantly, for Shiloh and Kheila, a large dog park.
LiTRV arranged for a professional driver to pick them up at their home, with their two Frenchies, and take them to the luxury RV resort in a Travel Supreme 45’ luxury Class A motorcoach. The beautiful motorcoach has four slides creating a very open floor plan with a king bedroom with walk-in closet and a single bath with double sinks. The main cabin includes a large seating area, dinette, a queen pull-out sofa and expansive kitchen with microwave, cooktop, residential refrigerator, and dishwasher. The motorcoach also has a stackable washer and dryer, plenty of closet space and a lot of under coach storage.
Relaxing at a Luxury RV Resort
When they arrived at the resort, their LiTRV driver set them up at a premium lakefront lot and made sure they had everything they needed before leaving them to enjoy their time together. He also checked to confirm that there were three ways of connecting to the internet. LiTRV provided a Wi-Fi hotspot on the motorcoach and went a step further to set up a Starlink satellite system. In addition, the resort also provided internet access for guests.
“It was really enjoyable,” Kheila said. “We had the best of both worlds – the people at the resort were amazing, as were the resort amenities. We were able to get some good walks in, take the dogs to the dog park, and relax while still having the ability to stay connected to work.”
The couple ordered from Uber Eats but also made use of their own kitchen on the motorcoach.
“Our dogs are on a strict diet, and we needed the ability to cook them chicken, sweet potatoes and rice,” Kheila said.
Kheila is the Executive Director of the couple’s nonprofit, Atlantic Outreach Group, which strives to empower vulnerable communities by connecting them to resources necessary for their success. She is also a talented abstract painter, (artbykheila.com), and the vacation gave her a chance to recharge her creative energy.
“I aim to create expressions of emotion through various mediums, mainly acrylics,” she said. “I love using textured bright and bold colors as a way of connecting with people.”
Passionate about giving back to the community, Kheila donates the proceeds from every painting to various nonprofit programs in the area.
Overall, Shiloh and Kheila had a positive experience during their first time vacationing in a luxury RV…so much so, they will consider doing it again.
“We came home relaxed and recharged,” Shiloh said, adding that it made a difference to have LiTRV’s customized support. “We didn’t know anything about luxury RV resorts or traveling in a luxury motorcoach, and it really made a difference to have an experienced person guide us,” he said.

Customize a Holiday Vacation to Fit Your Needs
Our LiTRV team is ready to help you assess rental options and plan a customized, memorable luxury RV holiday vacation for you and your family or friends. Here are some ideas:
Plan a holiday vacation for your family and bring the dogs.
Don’t let the stress of finding a pet sitter ruin your holiday vacation. There’s plenty of room inside a luxury RV for you to bring your pets. While our team has moved cats and other small animals, dogs seem to adjust well to traveling in a large, spacious, luxury RV. Many luxury RV resorts also have dog-friendly accommodations that include a dog park.
Choose a festive holiday destination to visit in a warm or mild climate.
With multiple beds and bathrooms inside a luxury motorcoach, there’s plenty of space for your extended family or friends. Choose a festive holiday destination where temperatures may be warmer, such as Nashville, Tennessee, St. Augustine, Florida, or Savannah, Georgia, which are known for their holiday lights displays, high-end boutiques, fine dining, and other holiday events.
Plan a holiday family reunion on a large parcel of land.
Hosting a holiday celebration at your home can be stressful, and sometimes, there’s not enough room for out-of-town guests. If you or your family members own a large piece of property, plan a family reunion on your land. LiTRV can deliver and set up one or more luxury motorcoaches on your property and be on call should you need our services during your time together.
Arrange for grandparents to travel to your home on a luxury motorcoach.
If traveling by air is no longer an option for your grandparents or older relatives, consider renting a luxury motorcoach with a professional driver who can transport them to your home for an extended holiday stay. If mobility issues are a challenge, our LiTRV team can adjust the height of beds and toilet bowls and make sure bathroom showers include seats and grab bars. If your grandparent needs the assistance of a health aide, our team can work with them to ensure that they have everything they need to provide quality care during the journey.
Combine work with leisure in a remote office on wheels.
If you’re an entrepreneur or you have a high-pressure job that does not allow you to fully unplug during the holidays, consider renting a luxury motorcoach with a private chauffeur so you can spend time away from home with family or friends. Whether you visit a luxury RV resort set on a beautiful golf course, or you prefer a coastal city with serene sunset ocean views, LiTRV can ensure you have strong Wi-Fi service for when you do need to work. Spend the rest of the time exploring your vacation destination with your family or friends.
Let LiTRV Help You Rent a Luxury RV for a Memorable Vacation
As you can imagine, many luxury RV resorts and other destinations book up quickly for the holidays, so planning a year in advance is wise. Talk with your family and friends this holiday season to gauge their interest in a renting a luxury motorcoach for a unique vacation and write down some of the questions you may have. Think about where you’d like to travel to and what your travel needs may be. While there are many variables that will affect the cost of your luxury motorcoach vacation, plan on spending a minimum of $2,500 per day. Our LiTRV team can help you assess rental options, provide customized itinerary options and a more accurate estimate once we have a better idea of your travel plans. To start the conversation, call us at 1-800-369-8153 or fill out the form on our home page for a quote.
It’s touted as the “World’s Greatest Classic Car Auction,” and each January during Arizona Car Week, thousands of collector car enthusiasts travel to Scottsdale, Arizona to view and bid on everything from vintage Ferraris and Porches to Ford Mustangs and Mercury Cougars. According to Barrett-Jackson, more than 1,900 vehicles crossed the auction block in January 2023, and top performers included supercars, original muscle, and Resto-Mods.
Travel in Style in a Luxury Motorcoach
One alternative to flying on a commercial airliner to Scottsdale is to rent a luxury motorcoach for you and your family or friends, where you can travel in style and comfort. When you travel in a luxury motorcoach, you have all the amenities that are found in a hotel, including queen-size and bunk beds, full bathrooms with showers, a large refrigerator, kitchen sink, oven, dishwasher, large screen television with WiFi, and plenty of storage space.
LiTRV can help you assess what type of motorcoach would be the best fit for you and arrange for a professional driver, should you choose not to drive.
Or, if you are flying to Arizona via private jet, LiTRV can meet you at the airport, where you can settle into your luxury motorcoach for the remainder of your vacation. Arizona is beautiful in January, and you might consider extending your trip beyond the car auction so you can explore the state and soak in the warmth of the desert.
Once you’re in Arizona, there are many options for accommodations. LiTRV can make reservations at a luxury RV resort, or we can arrange for you to stay at a high-end resort. Our professional driver will drop you off and pick you up when you are ready to move on to your next destination.
Here are some ideas:
Eagle View RV Resort
Eagle View RV Resort offers world-class facilities while allowing you to enjoy all the perks of staying in a private RV.
The park offers 150 premium and deluxe sites in the Sonoran high desert, well away from the noise of Phoenix. Quiet and relaxing, the resort offers year-round recreation opportunities, making it the perfect stop-off for the car auction. On-site facilities include laundry, showers, pickleball courts, a pet park, a heated pool, and a 24-hour fitness room. Hiking in the Tonto National Forest is just minutes away, and guests are free to swim and fish in the adjacent Saguaro Lake. There are also mountain biking opportunities in the McDowell Mountain Regional Park.
Finally, if you love golf, you’re in luck. Eagle View offers discounted access to WeKoPa Golf Club and the adjoining casino. Do the full 18 holes and then enjoy blackjack, poker, bingo, and Keno while eating at one of the many restaurants at the location.
Fairmont Scottsdale Princess
Fairmont Scottsdale Princess is where you go to “drift away in desert luxury.” The owners give guests a private sanctuary to retreat between stints at the auction house. Rooms come with stunning views of the Arizona landscape and sun-lit skies, with décor reflecting the spirit of the Sonoran Desert.
As you might expect from a premium destination, Fairmont Scottsdale Princess employs a no-expenses-spared policy. Rooms offer a combination of classic comfort intermixed with touches of modernity to complete the luxury experience. All guest rooms are recently renovated and provide access to the swimming pool, golf course, and local gardens. The resort includes unlimited local, domestic, and long-distance calls in the room price, and dogs are welcoming (and even considered “honored guests!”)
Lastly, Fairmont Scottsdale Princess believes everyone can play a role in sustainability. As such, the resort implements various eco-friendly features to reduce its environmental impacts, such as conserving gas, electricity, and water.
Four Seasons Scottsdale
If you’re looking for somewhere that will also cater to your sense of outdoor adventure, you might consider the Four Seasons Resort in Scottsdale at Troon North. With dramatic views and spectacular cacti, this unique venue displays the Arizona landscape in all its glory while incorporating elements of the Old West and Native American lore.
As with Fairmont Scottsdale Princess, you have immediate access to the Sonoran Desert. Tours of the local area are available, or you can take to the skies in a hot air balloon and enjoy a Champagne breakfast while looking down at the landscape below in the cool morning air.
ATV, Jeep, and Hummer rides also venture onward from the resort, allowing you to indulge your love of four-wheel vehicles, even outside the auction. Drive yourself or hire a professional off-roader to take you down the most exciting tracks and view the scenery.
Four Seasons Scottsdale offers a selection of rooms that meet the needs of even the most discerning guests. For instance, the Deluxe Casita Room lets you enjoy Scottsdale’s more than 330 days of sunshine annually with views of the desert, a large flat-screen TV, and a gas-burning fireplace. Upgrading to the Pinnacle Three-Bedroom Suite gives you all this plus spacious patios, al fresco living options, a full-service kitchen, and a dining table for celebratory meals (perhaps if you decide to get that classic car you’ve always wanted!)
The Boulders Resort
Another option for anyone in the area for the car auction is the Boulders Resort and Spa, famous for being one of the best golf resorts in the Southwest. The destination’s course recently underwent a four-million-dollar upgrade and now offers more challenging terrain and bunkers. Residents can also enjoy instruction from PGA instructors, including Donald Crawley, ranked by Golf Magazine as one of the Top 100 Teachers in America.
Of course, the Boulders Resort is about more than golf. It also offers one of the most impressive spa facilities in the region, offering over 33,000 square feet of desert oasis to reinvigorate the body. There’s also access to nearby recreational activities, including climbing and an air tour of the Grand Canyon.
A beautiful golf course in the desert of Arizona.
Arizona Biltmore
Those looking for something more traditional should check out the Arizona Biltmore. The resort offers various accommodation options to cater to individual tastes and groups of guests, including alluring villas and spacious suites. It is also home to the Tierra Luna Spa, an award-winning destination for anyone wanting to revitalize and refresh.
The Biltmore is nearly 100 years old, having opened in 1929. During the intervening period, owners continually reinvented the resort. The early years saw it as a stop-off for travelers going to California. However, it recently underwent a $100 million reinvention, dramatically improving the décor and level of service available to guests. Now it ranks with the best hotels and resorts in the area, providing a premium service for anyone lucky enough to stay there.
While there are plenty of five-star resorts in the vicinity of Scottsdale, nothing compares to traveling in your personal motorcoach. When you have an RV, your luxury accommodation travels with you.
Whether you are a car collector or you just appreciate the beauty of vintage and classic cars, consider traveling to the Barret-Jackson auction in a motorhome rental. Our LiTRV team is ready to help you plan your vacation.
There’s something exciting about descending into a cave. For many people, it’s like entering an alien ecosystem…a true world of wonder with dark, narrow tunnel-like passages that often open to large chambers filled with icicle-shaped stalagmites, stalactites, rugged columns, and other mineral deposits. Depending on the cave you choose to explore, you may discover pools of standing water, waterfalls and water dripping on the cave walls.
There are an estimated 45,000 caves within the contiguous United States, and while Missouri is known as the “Cave State” with 7,300 caves, Tennessee holds the record for having the most caves with 10,000 known caves.
Whether you and your family are seeking a guided cave tour or you’re planning a spelunking adventure with some friends, consider traveling to your destination in a luxury motorcoach.
Luxury Comfort Throughout Your Trip
When you travel in a luxury motorcoach, you have all the amenities that are found in a hotel, including queen-size and bunk beds, full bathrooms with showers, a large refrigerator, kitchen sink, oven, dishwasher, large screen television with WiFi, and plenty of storage space for your luggage and caving gear.
LiTRV can help you assess what type of motorcoach would be the best fit for you and your family or friends and arrange for a professional driver, should you choose not to drive. We can also research nearby luxury RV resorts and provide other concierge services, such making tour reservations in advance at large, popular caverns that limit entrance to protect their cave system.
Whether you want to plan a cave-themed vacation or you only have time for a day trip on the way to your travel destination, you’ll experience plenty of comfort traveling in a luxury motorcoach. Here are a few caves to consider visiting:
Ruby Falls, Tennessee
One of Tennessee’s greatest natural wonders, Ruby Falls boasts the tallest underground cave waterfall open to the public in the United States. This breathtaking limestone cave is in the heart of Lookout Mountain, less than 5 miles from downtown Chattanooga. Leo Lambert discovered the cave in 1928 and named the waterfall after his wife, Ruby. Today, visitors can descend 260 feet by glass-front elevator to see ancient cave formations along the cavern trail to the thundering waterfall. Ruby Falls also features fast-paced, guided cave walks and specialty tours at a relaxed pace for a smaller number of participants. Be sure to leave time to take in the sweeping views of the Tennessee Valley and Tennessee River from historic Lookout Mountain Tower, Blue Heron Overlook, and the Ruby Falls Village Plaza. And if you’re looking for more adventure, leave time to visit High Point ZIP Adventure at Ruby Falls, featuring zip lines and a climbing tower surrounded by spectacular vistas. Planning, though, will be important because RV parking space is limited. Important to note: Ruby Falls is not wheelchair accessible, and pets are not allowed.

Wind Cave, South Dakota
Wind Cave is the seventh largest cave system in the world and the third longest cave in the United States. Located near Hot Springs, South Dakota, this breathtaking cave is part of Wind Cave National Park, which was established in 1903 by President Theodore Roosevelt. Boasting 33,847 acres, Wind Cave National Park houses a complex cave system that dates back millions of years, as well as a rich Native American history and abundant wildlife. Wind Cave is also home to approximately 95% of the world’s discovered boxwork formations. Boxwork is made of calcite, which has formed in thin blades, creating a box-like or honeycomb pattern. The surrounding bedrock and limestone slowly eroded away, revealing these veins of calcite. Visitors to Wind Cave have a variety of tour options, ranging from easy to strenuous. When you emerge from the cave, be sure to spend time above ground marveling at the bison, elk and other wildlife that roam the rolling prairie grasslands and forested hillsides.
Limited areas of Wind Cave are accessible to wheelchairs and those with limited mobility. These half-hour tours serve as an introduction to the cave and boxwork. The tour includes riding the elevator into and out of the cave, and the elevator building is located about 200 yards south of the visitor center.
Carlsbad Caverns, New Mexico
The “Wow” factor of Carlsbad Caverns is off the charts. Located in the Chihuahuan Desert some 20 miles outside of the city of Carlsbad, this extraordinary natural wonder features more than 119 limestone caves which were once part of an underwater reef in an inland sea some 250 to 280 million years ago. The Big Room is the largest cave chamber in North America by volume. At approximately 4,000 feet long, 625 feet wide and 255 feet high at its tallest point, this massive chamber could fit more than six American football fields inside of it.
The Natural Entrance Trail is a steep, paved 1 ¼ mile descent, equivalent to about 79 stories, from outside to the Big Room. For those with mobility issues, the park offers elevator service into and out of the cavern, where you can access the Big Room Trail, which is the only wheelchair accessible route in the cavern. However, it’s important to note that the trail is wet from dripping water and can be slippery, bumpy, uneven, and difficult to navigate. It is not Americans with Disabilities Act approved and should only be attempted with assistance.
For a special treat, stay through the evening to experience Brazilian free-tailed bats emerging from the cave. The park’s rangers conduct an educational program each evening from late May through October.
Because many caves require reservations and limit the number of visitors through timed entry, we recommend planning your trip 3 to 6 months in advance. Let our LiTRV team help you plan a memorable vacation in a luxury motorcoach. Give us a call at 1-800-369-8153 or fill out the form on our home page for a quote.
In a perfect world, we would all be able to unplug fully to enjoy our vacations. But for many entrepreneurs and business executives, that’s just not a reality. Sadly, many people put off vacations due to work responsibilities. According to the U.S. Travel Association, 55% of workers admitted that they didn’t use all of their allotted paid time off last year.
“Bleisure” – combining business with leisure – is on the rise. Also known as “blended travel,” this shifting consumer travel trend is expected to double by 2027, according to a World Travel and Tourism Council report. Business travelers may attend a conference or a sales meeting in another city, and then add on a few extra days of leisure to explore the area.
For those working remotely, it can still be hard to unplug when there are important business meetings to attend virtually. Whether you are traveling to a business event in another city or you want to take time off, but you can’t fully get away from work, consider planning a vacation in a luxury motorcoach.
Think of it as a home office on wheels. LiTRV can help you:
Assess Which Motorcoach to Rent
Taking time out of work to research luxury RVs can be overwhelming. Give us some details about who is traveling with you, including pets, along with the dates of your trip, and we’ll assess which type of luxury motorcoach would be best for your vacation. Most luxury motorcoach rentals start at $15,000 for a week. We’ll review pricing options with you and reserve the coach when we confirm the itinerary.
Plan Your Itinerary
If you’re going to a business conference, why not plan some fun stops along the way? Or, if you work remotely, plan a vacation in the U.S. or in Canada and schedule your Zoom meetings around outdoor hikes, museum visits, and other leisure activities. LiTRV can help you plan your trip, make reservations at luxury RV resorts, or we can arrange for you to stay in a five-star resort and spa. We can also help book excursions and make dining reservations so all you need to do is show up.
Arrange for a Professional Driver
Don’t worry about driving. Whether you are traveling round-trip or one-way, LiTRV can arrange for a professional driver who will pick you up, drive you to your various destinations, and make sure you arrive at your final destination safely. If you are sleeping in the luxury motorcoach, our professional driver will have other accommodations nearby.
Stay Connected
You need to be able to plug in – we get it. LiTRV provides portable Wi-Fi hotspots that can be used while you are traveling on the road as well as when the coach is parked. Some coaches are equipped with Starlink internet equipment, and luxury RV resorts offer Wi-Fi as well. Of course, service is subject to signal strength. Depending on your trip, we’ll advise you ahead of time if there are some areas where the signal may be weak, such as in national parks and other rural areas. We can also share details about nearby UPS and FedEx office locations should you need more business support while on the road.
Enjoy Time with Family or Friends
As business owners ourselves, we understand the challenges that come along with balancing work and pleasure. Consider LiTRV to be your personal concierge service – we’re here to curate a memorable travel experience for you and your family or friends. And if you must do some work along the way, we’ll do all we can to make sure you are comfortable in your temporary office on wheels.
We realize it can be difficult to know your work schedule several months in advance, but we recommend planning at least 3 to 6 months in advance. National parks and some luxury RV resorts book up quickly. Ready to explore your options? Give us a call at 1-800-369-8153 or fill out the form on our home page for a quote.
