For a limited time, rent a motorhome for $49 a day

Here's a very inexpensive way to travel up to three weeks with a motorhome. El Monte RV needs to get some brand new 22-foot Class C motorhomes delivered from Chicago to some of it rental locations in the far West.
 
For trips beginning April 15 or those ending no later than May 31, a one-day rate of $49 per night is available. The price includes 2,500 free miles, unlimited free generator use, a starter pack and no one-way fee.

After being picked up in Chicago, the RVs have up to 21 days to be dropped off at El Monte RV locations in Santa Fe Springs, Calif.; Dublin Calif.; Oakland Calif.; Ferndale, Wash.; or Las Vegas, Nevada.

Not included are additional miles, insurance, personal kits, or kitchen kits, but these can be purchased at pickup. This special cannot be combined with any other specials or discounts, and the code RELOC must be mentioned at the time of reservation. Information about this special offer and others is at the El Monte RV website.

Coupons and Walmart go together

It's hard to find too many RVers who don't shop (and probably stay at) the friendly, always in the neighborhood wherever you are, Walmart. Catching a few Zs and a good deal while shopping just seem to go together. Do you know Walmart's coupon policy? Nah, it's not for a "premium" spot in the lot for your RV, but if you do coupons for reduced prices, it may help you save a few bucks in the checkout line.

First, Walmart, like most all retailers, takes those manufacturer "cents off coupons." But to make customers crash through the front door, Wally also has a few other coupon coaxers up its corporate sleeves. Here are a couple you may not know about:

Competitive Coupons: Got a cupey from another store? If there's a specific price on the coupon, Walmart will take it. The same holds true for a "two for one" offer--as long as the price is on the coupon, Walmart will honor it.

Checkout Coupons: Do a bit of shopping at another grocery store? Got one of those machine printed "checkout coupons" that offer you a screaming deal for something the next time you come back? Wally accepts them from other stores. There are a few coupon caveats, among them there must be a specific dollars and cents off, have the words "manufacturer's coupon," and a bar code on it.

Internet coupons: Some have wondered if the Big W would accept coupons printed off their computer printer. The answer is largely, yes. There are hoops that Wally makes you go through, but not much more than any other store will look for.
