As another camping season approaches we want to share how you can beat the heat and camp in perfect weather all year. The solution is high-altitude RVing. Let's face it, summer camping is nice but it also brings 90-degree temperatures and 90% humidity., Even in northern climates, it gets very hot during the dog days. […]Read More
Hands down, the best value in the RVing world is the National Parks Senior Pass, officially known as the America the Beautiful Pass [Note: This article has been updated for 2021] One of the consolations of old age is the America the Beautiful Pass, which like most Federal entities has undergone a name change – […]Read More
We just finished a week and a half up in the Bighorn Mountains at 9,000 feet, part of our plan to work our way east in preparation for our trek across the top of the country from the Rockies to the Maritimes to come down the east coast this fall. We had been up on […]Read More
Well, we found our first nice place to camp after leaving the Roadtreking Montana Gathering, and it wasn't that far away. We went back over the continental divide on Highway 2 to Columbia Falls, MT, the nearest decent sized town, to shop, do laundry, etc., and then looked around for a nice place to […]Read More
I am finishing up six weeks, off and on, at Kirk Creek Campground in California's Los Padres National Forest. This premiere campground is famous worldwide for its beautiful location overlooking the ocean at Big Sur and is open year-round, with online reservation availability ensuring that it stays full most of the time. So how did […]Read More
Eight years ago we began changing out the old light bulbs in our Roadtrek for LED bulbs. In an older RV with a single battery, the change to LEDs is a significant power saving. We changed everything but the fluorescent light over the dinette. It was not quite the power hog as the incandescent bulbs […]Read More
OK, OK, I weakened. I've been going along fine for months without shore power, but Sharon was intent on sitting in one particular riverfront spot for days – under a tree, of course, so we got no solar – so I had to figure something out about the electricity. I can sit for a day […]Read More
One question we get a lot when we talk about our love of being off the beaten path and away from everyone is, “Why? What do you do there.” Let me share a typical boondocking jaunt for us, very deep in the woods, in the middle of the Pigeon River Country State Forest Area at […]Read More
Many people park their motorhomes in the winter. And of those that still use them, many do not cook in them except for perhaps using the microwave. This is understandable since cleaning up is more of a challenge without running water, using the gray tank and having an operating water heater, but it is not […]Read More
Sharon and I just wrapped up a most wonderful experience, camping right on the Pacific Ocean in the middle of Big Sur. For two weeks. It has really been beautiful and relaxing and restorative and everything else we could ask for, so let me give you a little background about Kirk Creek National Forest Campground […]Read More
We have an older Class B motorhome with a single group 24 deep cycle coach battery. We have learned how to boondock successfully with a mere 75-80 amp hours and stay within our power limits (see article here). But where we have to be careful is our laptop computers. Since we mostly use them after […]Read More
I consider myself uber lucky to have met so many wonderful RVers during my travels. I have visited a few, met up and been fed, socialized with, learned from, toured with and had my van repaired by kind, generous folks from across North America. So I figured it was my turn to throw out a […]Read More
