After watching Scotland’s first two World Cup games in Boston, my brother Hugh and I needed to travel more than 1,500 miles from Boston to Miami for Scotland’s final group match. Instead of flying, we hired a huge 9-metre RV and set off on what we hoped would be an unforgettable USA road trip. The only problem was that we had just four days to get there, and our RV pickup got off to a disastrous start. In this USA road trip adventure, we attempt to collect our Indie Campers RV near Boston, only to receive conflicting pickup addresses, cancelled bedding and no staff waiting for us. It quickly turned into an RV rental disaster and a road trip gone wrong before we’d even left the car park. Once the motorhome finally arrived, we experienced Walmart for the first time, stocked up for our journey and prepared for our first time driving an RV in America. This is just the beginning of our Boston to Miami RV road trip and East Coast USA road trip, with more than 1,500 miles still ahead of us....

If we haven't met before... Hi, I'm Ruth 👋 and I recently bought a campervan to travel my home country of Scotland after living overseas for 12 years. I’ve hardly seen anything or been anywhere in Scotland and now is the time to change that! P.S. Some of the links in this description are affiliate links that I get a kickback from.

Sounds like an out of country call center. Horrible! We need to bring these call centers back to USA.
I think that guy also works for Apple, Amazon, and my bank....
That rental company was a disgrace . I hope you get your money back for everything you had to buy and some compensation .
Phone support was someplace in India - he has NO idea what is going on or how far apart things are in the US. Sorry for this - a terrible experience for you and your brother. At least the guys delivering the camper van were understanding. A corn dog is best described as a poor man's beef wellington 😅 You two trying to find the gear shift on the steering column was a hoot.
Renting an RV was a mistake to begin with, aside from the dirty company. People think they will save money, but they won't. Better to rent a car and stay in motels.
I’ve NEVER HEARD OF Indie Campers, ever! Sure as heck will never rent from that outfit.
Indie Campers is a huge outfit, I'm surprised they were such shite! Although watching the two of you figure out Walmart was pure gold.
That was a disgrace they transferred the RV to you on an empty tank.
Are they counting on you leaving all the stuff you buy in the RV at the end of the trip. Very convenient that they did the handover at a Walmart!
Sounds a bit scammy 🦘🦘
Horrendous that they give you an "empty" van. To cancel the package (at short notice) you paid for is not on! The run around to pick it up was not professional at all. The call handler indifferent. What a bloody shambles. This isn't going to get them customers. It could have been such a wonderful "advert" for the company. They wasted an opportunity.
What a nightmare beginning! I certainly hope the rest of your trip went smoother!

When you read that pickup was in Halifax, I thought they were going to send you to the capital of New Scotland (Nova Scotia) in Canada, a 2 day drive northeast.
I was enjoying Ruth finding the gear shift. Cheers from Texas
Very brave to drive that monster, great video. Many thanks Ruth
"A donut with a sausage inside". 😂 -next time I eat a corn dog, i'll definitely remember that description.
Oh my goodness, this was so funny in Walmart!!! You two together are the best!
Horrifying and amusing at the same time. Thank you.
WOW, I have had an RV for over 35 years and never once seen or heard of Indie RV. Dang and you came through NC.
