Low Hanging Branches
We are told to be knowledgeable about the height of our rigs when it comes to bridge and tunnel clearances, but that also extends to the extensions from trees.

TIP: Area Lighting On The Cheap
You probably have seen or are even using some of those inexpensive solar lights to personalize your site. They provide a sense of security when you home or returning home after dark. Many parks and campground don’t want you hanging things on trees, but there are times when those lights staked into the ground just isn’t enough to illuminate what you want seen.
Looking Back: Our First RV
At the time back in the mid 1980’s we really had no knowledge about the RVing lifestyle all we knew is we wanted something better than a tent for camping. We were living in Great Falls, Montana at the time and I was active duty Air Force stationed at Malmstrom AFB. We enjoyed camping next to a creek or stream in the mountains with our two boys. Hiking, exploring, taking in nature, hunting and fishing! What I didn’t like about it was sleeping on the ground or dealing rain soaked tents and gear. With a vacation trip planned and hunting season coming later in the year it was time to go looking for a travel trailer.
Product Review: Thetford SmartTote 27LX
If you stay at any park without sewer hookups or boondock a limiting factor to your stay is the capacity of your rig’s waste holding tanks. Once they are full, you either have to move your rig to the dump station or have the dump station (honey wagon) come to you. One is a real inconvenience, the other can be costly depending on where you are and what they charge for the service of pumping out your tanks.
Our Stay in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas
We spent five weeks in the Rio Grande Valley, known by locals as the RGV. The weather was crazy – beautifully warm for a few days, then very cold, windy and rainy, then back to warm, maybe even hot. Throughout our stay, the wind blew hard, many days and nights with sustained winds of 20+ mph, gusting to 30+ mph. That kind of wind keeps the motorhome rockin’ and rollin’ and makes styling hair a waste of time.
