We are heading to the tail end of Quartzite, and then we would like to spend 2 weeks camping in Arizona and New Mexico. Can you dreamers share your favorite spots? We mostly like to hike, preferable with some hills or mountains in the mix. Thank you! -Matt

Would like to try a couple of the State Parks but noticed on their websites that most (maybe all) charge per day for an extra vehicle. We travel like H & L with a chase vehicle plus our 5th wheel/trk combo and we also haul our Harley. An additional $8 per day for our "toad" and bike seems a lit...

We are beginning to plan our route from San Antonio, TX to Maysville, NC and are seeking recommendations. Our travel dates will be Feb 22 to march 2nd or 3rd. Google maps http://g.co/maps/trxfc show the distance at 1478 miles. Taking a more southerly route (I-10) would certainly keep us in warmer p...

On their websites, national/state parks and and -forests state maximum RV lengths. As we never stayed there with a 5th wheel , I am not sure if that pertains to the combined length or just the trailer. If there is just space enough for the trailer, is it feasible and/or allowed to park the truck somew...

I have an RV park here in southern calif. about 20 mins from me that has some of the most expensive rates I've seen. I just wonder what the most expensive park you have seen or stayed in? You can pay as much as $2500.00 a month to stay at Newport Dunes in Newport Beach, CA. That's $2500.00 for a concrete pad a...

We are about 3 years away from our fulltiming dream but could potentially have a unique opportunity to move it forward.

Once again our thoughts turn south. We are thinking of heading to south Texas for the winter. Anyone have any thoughts as to how the drought will affect RVers. Should we reconsider? I just want to be warm - can't handle the cold weather due to health.
