We are an anglo-french family living near Toulouse ( south of France) and we wish to visit California with a camper van in July 2008. We are in our late 40', and have three kids ( Alfred 16, Eloise 14 and Louis 12) . We can offer to swap for either our house in the coutryside near Toulouse ( + pool + cars), or our holliday home near Biarritz ( sleeps > 12 + pool + cars ). For this latter house, dates can be extremely flexible. email: atn@cict.fr

I we have a 8 Meter RV that we would be open to have you use. We are 20 minutes from Zions Park Utah and 2 hours north of Las Vegas.

THE MESSAGE:
July- August 2008 : USA MOTORCYCLE /MOTORHOME TRIP SUMMER 2008

Bonsoir Madame , Monsieur ,

Our family has the project for next summer to cross the USA from West to
East : I , Olivier the father + one of the boys , on a recent Harley
Davidson we bought in Montana and the rest of the family : Corinne my wife
and the two other children plus Viviane , Corinne\'s Mother , who used to be
a professional truck driving school teacher and who will be in charge of
driving safely to destination the family and your motorhome to New York City
(your motorhome that we would like you to exchange for our home and car in
France).

in order to acheive this old dream (I did the same trip when I finished my
studies in California back in 1987 (20 years ago) but back then I was alone
and did the trip by Greyhound bus!);
we are looking for a US family owning a motorhome ( sleeping for 3 adults
and 3 children) in the west part of the US in order to exchange it with our
home + car in France

so if you would like to :
- spend several weeks in France this summer , then cross the US from East
to West in your own motorhome , maybe can we work something out together (I
am open to your offer), since we will finish our trip in NYC to board the
motorcycles in a container for France while we will fly back to Paris..

i would like to add that I have been renting and driving several times
before large motorhomes from Cruise America , Idaho RV rentals ,El Monte RV
, and also from a Homeexchange.com member from North California (I can
provide references) , and know the value of them and the extreme care needed
when using them.

We hope you will be interested , don't hesitate to contact us and if not
interested , maybe could you pass this email to friends or relative owning a
motorhome ?

Veuillez agreer , Madame , Monsieur , nos plus chaleureuses salutations
