Has anyone here rented a motorhome and traveled to the national parks out west?

[Budnicks]

my other recreational rig, gone now

out in the real west
Yosemite, has to be on the list of out west
if you haven't been there already
make reservations now, it's always full it seems

you can always do a day trip thru it too

Yellowstone, has to be seen
&/or Glacier Park are both great too

lots of great places in Oregon, Bend, Grater Lake,
Branden Dunes (rent some offroad stuff)
Washington, Olympic Park, get into your inner Hippie/Tree hugging
Sasquatch sittings
there's lots of open country,
beautiful scenery out west, if you want to stay away from the 'touristy crap'
& bigger cities/cesspools
Columbia River, do some Salmon Fishing

A bunch of touristy stuff up & down Calif Coast,
too much to mention all
SF, Alcatraz (by boat/ferry), Big Sur, Big Caves (name eludes me),
Seal Beach, Santa Cruz, Monterey Bay, Carmel, Bodega Bay

Placer Co. also has some pretty cool stuff, not National Park size thou
some pretty cool river rafting on the North & South forks of the American river
or just camping, easy none guided or rugged class 4 guided rapids
several others spread all over
more camping type stuff, but easy traveling

Before you rent one, ask how they handle a break down or if something stops working on the coach, toilet, water pump, slide room, etc. Do they pay for it, or do they reimburse you after you return the unit. Also when you are out traveling, some service centers will not work on the unit unless you have bought a unit from them.
