Roadside Assistance – HELP When You Need It

You may never have had the need for Roadside Assistance before becoming RVers. If you have never traveled more than a short distance away from where you live, you were just a phone call away from a friend or family member or a local business who could come to your aide. But once you begin traveling longer distances or possibly go on the road as Full-timers, you REALLY NEED to have it.

Shake And Shimmy

If you’re an RV owner, you know that a small annoyance can often turn into something much, much more. A few drops of water can later turn out to be a significant water leak…more than an annoyance, it could turn out to be a costly repair. The same holds true for your rig’s ride – an intermittent shimmy and shake cannot be ignored.

Scale Modelers & RVers Take Note!

As a scale modeler I love hearing news about subjects that connect with my other interests. For example a recent announcement about Airstream Trailers giving their permission to allow a company to product replicas of a model of their famed line up of trailers.

Long Term RV Parking

If you’re a Motor Home owner and you’re just starting out you’ll probably want to pay attention to this. Sometimes we learn things by accident which can be a good thing. But often they are things we have learned the hard way that causes us stress and expense. Since we started our journey we haven’t stayed on one site for more that say three to four weeks. Recently we returned to Wisconsin and set up for a lengthy stay and in the course of that period of idleness the chassis batteries drained down to such a level as they were in essence dead.

My RV Kitchen

I love getting questions from readers! Janet asked about the realities of cooking from scratch in the RV: What do we keep on board for equipment? How do we manage healthy meal preparation? What are some ideas and tips for buying organic or in-bulk on the road?

I’ll tackle the first question in this post and tell you about my RV kitchen and equipment.
