THen 5 miles down the road in Odenton Maryland you can catch the MARC train to DC or Baltimore (30 mins to union station). The parking lot there is a lot better than METRO. and the parking is free there as well. <br /><br />Tim BucherAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8801217063323814316.post-57753555515487113622012-11-17T18:40:53.767-05:002012-11-17T18:40:53.767-05:00Have you thought about using a car sharing service...Have you thought about using a car sharing service? These services rent cars by the hour andare completely self-service. You use a smartphone app or the website to schedule time for the vehicle and when it's your turn to use the car, just go to where it's parked, use your app to remotely unlock it, get the keys out the glovebox and go. Gas and insurance are included in hour hourly fee.<br /><br />I use Zipcar.com all the time, since I live overseas but when I'm home I have limited access to cars. Whenever I need a car and my parents are using theirs, I just take public transit to the big mall 15 minutes away and use one of 4 zipcars there.<br /><br />Since all major cities including DC and Boston have them, maybe you can find a secure parking lot for the roadtrek that also has a zipcar in or nearby. Then go visit your destination without fuss.

In my profession I have worked with people to get them handicap passes. Here is NY it is very strict - and the pass must match the state on the license plate. Thanks for the suggestion! <br /><br />Every time I pass a smart car now, I wonder how hard or easy it would be to tow. Couldn't afford it anyway.

You stated that you have physical problems that retard you from riding on public transportation for a long period of time. Just maybe, a letter from your Doctor to the RMV will get you a Handicap Pass, the type you can hang on your rear view mirror. In Massachusetts they are easy to come by. This will open up access to areas you could not go to in the past. Just an idea.<br /><br />FredAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8801217063323814316.post-59458675175898962432012-09-09T22:18:30.865-04:002012-09-09T22:18:30.865-04:00It is a great suggestion for most but there are pe...It is a great suggestion for most but there are personal reasons why we don't rent cars which go along with the reason we got an RV in the first place.<br /><br />Writerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06664259206096691320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8801217063323814316.post-18376913892111617142012-09-09T08:58:29.762-04:002012-09-09T08:58:29.762-04:00Another possible solution for visiting places like...Another possible solution for visiting places like Washington and Boston is to rent a car. Some car rental companies will deliver the car to you, and pick-it up when you are done. Even if the company does not offer this service, it might if you just ask. I realize renting a car defeats the purpose of buying an RV, but I think it would be worth the expense to be able to visit Boston and Washington. I have been to both and really enjoyed the time I spent. Just a thought.<br /><br />KevinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
