Jamie, from what I've seen on TV during de Tour, an Axis/Vegas would be at the upper range of size. Most motorhomes appear to be smaller, with many based on front-wheel-drive Fiat Ducato chassis. The little research I've done suggest they often have small 4-cylinder Diesel engines and 6-speed manual transmissions. There seems to be a good combination of Class Bs, B+, and Cs and small Class As too (small by US standards).
My wife and I can both drive manual transmissions so renting smaller motorhomes may be a possibility someday. Beyond being able to rent, I'm curious how traveling by motorhome there would be different than in the US.
I should probably do more research -- there has to be a lot of information on internet. Do they honor our drivers' licenses, are there campgrounds like in US, is navigation too difficult without knowing the language, etc...?
At a Lake Tahoe campground we saw some German families in Cruise America rentals, but I don't know if it's as easy for us to go the other way.
