Looking for a new Yankee RV Adventure in 2021?
How about a caravan driving adventure along what is probably the most famous road in the US ... Can you guess, where we are headed in 2021?
You are right! Historic Route # 66!
It spans over 2,400 miles and crosses 8 states, starting in Chicago, Illinois and terminating at the Pacific Coast in Santa Monica, California.
Given its “# 66” designation in 1926, it became a well-traveled highway, bringing together people from all walks of life. The author, John Steinbeck, refers to Route 66 as “the mother road, the road of flight” for those trying to escape the Dust Bowl and ravages of the Great Depression in the 1930’s. Later it would become known as "Main Street of America." As it provided support a countless number of vacationing families heading to the Grand Canyon or Disneyland. As more Americans took to the highway, a roadside culture would spring up along Route 66—motels, diners, gas stations, tourist attractions—to cater to a population that was increasingly mobile and made family travel popular … remember “See the USA in your Chevrolet!”
Join us for the 35- day caravan starting July 28th! Limited to 20 units, we will take stand-bys!
Call Rod & Helen at 407-973-8288 or e-mail (yankeerv@aol.com) to find out how to reserve your spot!
LABRADOR: Marilyn & Bim Bridle
This COVID-19 pandemic is tough on all of us, but especially on those in the service and tourism industry. Anyone who has been on a Yankee RV Tours Canadian Maritimes caravan and taken the optional tour to Labrador, know Bim & Marilyn Bridle. All of our Yankee RV caravners have been so kind and generous with gifts for Marilyn & Bim over the 30 plus years we have traveled to Labrador. The kindness is always overwhelming to Marilyn and all the Inuit families she supports.
Much like the US, tourism and restaurants, business are shut down in Labrador, thus Yankee had to cancel our annual visit there. We are being told, that it could be July or August before they open. This impacts Marilyn & Bim on several fronts. They rely on the tourists to support their restaurant. Additionally, our Yankee caravaners support her efforts to provide everyday items and money to the Inuit families on the 800-mile dirt road north of them. Without our support and tourists, they do not know how they will survive until the tourists come again.
This family and their cause, is very near and dear to our hearts, and we know it has touched many of yours too. Marilyn has not asked for any of this, you know she never would. Rod and I would like to ask you to open your hearts and purse strings to share what you can with her.
The mailing address is:
Marilyn & Bim Bridle
121 Main St
PO Box 98
Labrador, NL A0K-4K0
Her phone # is 709-920-2060 and her email: redbaywhalersstation@gmail.com
We know that this time is difficult on all of us, but we know that Marilyn and Bim would appreciate anything you can send.

Yankee RV Status and Projections: April 11, 2020
Yankee RV has always said "Safety comes before fun". This statement is still true today. We have been monitoring the progress of COVID-19 in the United States and Canada the past few weeks, checking with Canadian customs. The Canadian border is currently closed and their best estimate is to open in mid-summer.
This being said, for the safety and health of our caravaners and staff, we have no choice but to cancel both of our 2020 Canadian Maritimes Caravans.
Here are 3 options you may consider:
(1) Rollover your deposits to the 2021 Maritime (June 6-July 6). We have 15 openings left.
(2) Request that your reservations and monies be moved and applied to a 2020 or 2021 tour. We have attached the availability of both 2020 and 2021 tours.
(3) Request an immediate refund via email notification.
Our staff continues to work on current and future adventures. We will be discussing these tours at our Annual Pre-tour Orientation and Reunion in Eustis Florida.

We just love Yankee RV Tours. The trips visit beautiful scenery, take in fantastic events. The camaraderie is the best! Have done 5 caravans and 1 rally so far since I retired in 2015. Thanks Rod and Helen.

Just visiting your website and looking at your future adventures.
Was on 2018 NW expedition and already signed for future tour. I enjoyed the entire experience but even more then the the great places we went to I enjoyed the comaradeie of traveling with the group. You were so much like my dad I'm trying to convince him to take a trip with me. Can't wait to do it again. -
We have been traveling with Yankee TV Tours since 2010 when we toured the Canadian Maritimes. Have taken every tour they offer and been to most of the Rallies. We have traveled with other companies and there is no comparison. Great planning, great fun. The Best!
