We are traveling to Fort Bragg on Sunday pulling a 27 ft. Rock wood Lite with a 2014 Ford F-150. Should we avoid California 20 and take the longer route 128? Coming from Lodi, CA area.

Six months ago today, Lee and I closed on our home and started on this adventure. Although we know we still have so much to learn, I wanted to take a moment and share my thoughts from what we have experienced so far. Your mileage may of course vary, but I hope it might speak to some of you. Please feel free...

Hi, was wondering if anyone uses a dash cam and any opinions on types, models, quality of video, etc. We are more interested in good quality video (daytime most important; we don't drive much at night). Would like to be able to move between RV & Car. Considering how rough most roads are, did you d...

Does anyone have any input or have a membership to ultimatervcamping.com? It lists thousands of campsites at either 10.00/night or 1/2 off? I'm not familiar with it, and wondering if it's worth the price. Anyone have info please? Thanks a lot!!

Well, the winds in Arizona and Nevada have left us with a broken Flag Pole Buddy due to high winds and our Catherine's Wheel kite that loved the winds but it appears the Flag Pole Buddy is not strong enough for that combination. Any suggestions on a heavier duty flag pole?

2 weeks after our truck broke down 10 miles west of Laughlin NV, the new engine is on order, everything should be covered by warranty for which we are extremely thankful. However, we're also facing the realization that we're likely to be here another 1-2 weeks and it's getting uncomfortably warm. We...
