For families looking for out-of-the-world fun, Fleetwood RV has curated a list of four destinations that deliver a space odyssey.
Fleetwood RV is one of the most-established brands in the motorhome industry that’s ideal for families. The Bounder® 35GL from Fleetwood RV is a new floorplan that features four distinct zones, making it feel like a “traditional” home. It includes space at the front for work and entertainment, a mid-ship open concept kitchen, a split lavatory with a private water closet, and a spacious master bedroom. In addition to the master, the RV has a sleeper sofa and an optional drop-down loft bed so the RV can sleep up to six children and adults.
Once the RV is packed, travelers can hit the road to take in views of planets, walk on a moon-like surface, chat with an astronaut, and learn more about life beyond the stars.
Please note: each location has been researched but be sure to call ahead to confirm hours of operation, advance ticketing requirements, and other relevant details.
Griffith Park Observatory
The easiest way to add some outer space to your next road trip is to visit a city with an observatory. Griffith Park Observatory is a stunning building and campus, admission is free, and it’s smack dab in the heart of Los Angeles, which means an endless list of things to do when you’re done looking at and learning about the stars.
Kennedy Space Center
History buffs and space nuts alike should point their RVs towards Merritt Island, Florida, home to the legendary Kennedy Space Center. You could easily spend a week working your way through all of the attractions, from exploring the actual equipment used in missions to learning about the history, and even going through some astronaut training yourself! And if you time the trip right, you might be able to catch an actual space shuttle launch while you’re in the area.
Craters of the Moon Monument and National Preserve
If you want a vacation destination that feels like another planet entirely, look no further than Idaho. Specifically, the Craters of the Moon Monument and National Preserve. According to an official website, “the monument preserves around 53,500 acres of volcanic formations and lava flows on the northern rim of the Snake River Plain in south central Idaho.” The result is a wonderfully weird terrain that you’ll never forget.
Roswell, New Mexico
A list of out-of-this-world destinations wouldn’t be complete without including one of the most famous of all. Nestled in scenic southeast New Mexico, Roswell is a tourist treat, offering plenty of UFO-centric features and attractions, as well as plenty of non-UFO offerings. Each July, the town hosts its UFO Festival, which celebrates the Roswell Incident.

Each year, owners who have spent anywhere from $500,000 to $1 million on an American Coach® luxury motorhome choose to come to Decatur, Indiana, for a VIP Delivery Experience, which is unique in the industry.
“When someone purchases an American Coach motor home, they join an elite group of luxury RV owners who appreciate the finer amenities and experiences that come with an upscale brand,” said Doug Miller, product manager for REV Recreation Group’s Class A products. “We make sure our VIP Delivery Experience is one-of-a-kind and gives our owners unparalleled personal attention over the course of two, three, or four days. We have had customers stay with us for slightly longer, but we can typically meet and exceed our new owners’ expectations in just a few days.”
As part of the American Coach® VIP Delivery, owners are welcomed to the 480,000-square-foot manufacturing facility to personally receive their coach once it comes off the line. They are then paired with a product specialist who walks them through every element of their RV.
Eddie and Alice Galuska are long-time American Coach owners who have taken advantage of the VIP experience – not just once but twice.
“When you come for VIP Delivery, you’re actually speaking with trained people who build and put the coaches together and no one can be more experienced than that,” said Eddie. “They enjoyed us being onsite because they got to put a face to the coach. It’s not just an RV, instead it’s Eddie and Alice’s. We felt connected to them, and they felt connected to us.”
In addition to the concierge-level, top-to-bottom walkthrough, those who take advantage of the American Coach VIP Delivery receive signature American Coach jackets.
“By the end of the experience, our American Coach owners really get to know our craftspeople and they develop lasting relationships. We’ve had members of our American Coach team go above and beyond in certain situations where they’ve assisted customers after their VIP Experience while they were on the road,” said Miller. “It’s something that’s unheard of in the industry but it happens here at American Coach.”
To hear more about the Galuska’s VIP Delivery Experience, watch their YouTube video.
VIP Delivery is a $10,000 add-on option that’s exclusive to American Coach.
