Taking an RV (recreational vehicle) vacation has its advantages. It's a great way to discover the country side while saving yourself the cost of airfare and hotel stays. Additional savings can also be made if you prepare most of your meals.

Another advantage? It allows you to be flexible. Basically, you can control where you want to go, when you want to go.

Have you ever wondered about taking an RV vacation? It seems like fun but you are not really sure if you would really like it. Need a hint on how it really is?

Why not check out Laura and Jim's RV vacation adventure. Although, theirs has an additional twist to it. They are not just taking their RV to take a cross country trip. Nope, that would be too simple. Instead, they have decided to go Wal-Marting across America.

And while they are crusing onboard Wally 1 (see picture, courtesy of Jim's flickr), they will blog about their experiences and post their pictures, as well.

Why Wal-Mart, you ask? According to Jim, "As we pulled in, I wondered why all the RVs were in the Wal-Mart parking lot. We wandered the store, looking for bargains and resupplying our trip, and asked an employee. Sure enough, most Wal-Marts let RVs spend the night. Free, no less."

So, where are they now? Take a peek at the stops they have made and the people they have met.

So, what kind of twist will YOU include in your RV vacation?
