Maximizing space inside an RV is Job #1 for every RVer. No matter what size RV we have, we can all use more room. So we look for ways to make that happen, especially in the kitchen. Many of you are familiar with Mary Jane Curry. Mary Jane is our RV Recipes writer for the […]
We received a great tip from a reader named Anne who emailed us two tips that help tidy up the interior of an RV. What Anne did was to purchase one of those tension bars that people use for closet organizers or even sometimes bathroom shower curtains. Ann set hers up across the back of […]Read More
Be it mud, snow or sand, nobody likes the thought of getting the RV stuck.

Storage in RVs is always at a premium raising one key question: Where do we keep all the things we need? My friend Peggy Bechtel offered a great tip that I’m happy to share with you. Simply pick up a shoe bag and a good ol’ fashioned tension rod (like the kind for curtains) and […]Read More

Though convenient, hitting a laundromat isn’t always everyone’s favorite necessary chore when RVing. Our friend Tom, of Ottawa, offers a tip that might come in handy – at least for smaller loads of laundry. “You can wash your clothes as you go,” he says. “You put your clothes in a covered pail with a lid […]Read More
It’s been an recurring discussion on our RV Podcast for the past several months about how to dim or block out all that bright LED light from the electronics and switches in our RVs so we’re able to sleep in the dark. Listen up: here's a tip from and RVer named Ken who sent us […]Read More
We love Bo, our Norwegian Elkhound dog, but there is definitely one thing we don’t love: His fur. In other words, he sheds. A lot. He is a big dog with a thick, healthy double coat of long hair and with the heat and humidity that comes with the summer travel season, Bo lots of […]Read More
Ever run into your awning support pole? Hurts, doesn’t it? We’ve all done that. So don’t think you’re the only one. Well here’s a tip to help you avoid that…. or at least to make it not hurt so much when you do. They’re pool noodles. Yes, you read that right: those Styrofoam logs that […]Read More
While we love tips from Roadtreking readers and listeners the most, sometimes we offer you information based on our own experiences. That includes one of the times we had to be prepared for an emergency repair while on the road.

Most of my tips are about “things” to make RVing more pleasurable, but one Roadtreking fan sent a tip not too long ago that is a bit different. It came via our Facebook Group from our friend Cindy Larsen. Simply put, it’s a great guide for being part of today’s senior generation. The list is quite extensive, […]Read More
One frustration many RVers have is not having enough room to take all the things they’d like in those small RV refrigerators. Our friends Tom Burkett and his wife, Patti, have found an innovative way to get more food in the RV freezer. The Burketts have a 1997 Roadtrek Popular-190. And though he calls his […]Read More
One thing most RVers have in common when hitting the road is how to handle our good ol’ fashioned snail mail. You know snail mail – mail sent via U.S. Postal Service takes a bit longer to arrive than email, hence the reference to a slow-moving snail. Our friend, Valerie, offers a great tip for […]Read More
One of the things we like the most about doing this blog and the podcast is hearing from you and receiving your tips. Sometimes, it’s about how to do things better while on the road, or maybe a helpful do-it-yourself project. Or it could be a nifty product you came across that you want to […]Read More
One problem those of us who travel with dogs regularly face is what to do with our pets when we have a place to go or an activity to do that doesn’t allow dogs.

If our Norwegian Elkhound dog, Bo, could pass along a tip, this would probably be the one – especially during warmer weather months.
