Does any one ever got that strange look from other peoples whenever you tell them that your residence is your RV. It does happen to me quite often and people look at me like there is something growing on my face. It always amaze me and wonder how much peoples really know about our lifestyle. Out of curiosi...

I'm wondering how many of you have RVs with heated tanks. Seems like a good thing to have even in Florida in these changing weather conditions. But I don't know if it's a common feature or an add on that folks request. I searched for heated tanks on the forum but it doesn't look like it's been discussed b...

I spent my early years growing up in Pasadena, CA. We always spent New Year's eve sleeping on the blvd. and sitting up all night waiting for the parade. One of my "bucket list" items is to see the Rose Parade one more time in person. My parents used to park their RV on a side street and we'd set...

Well, the latest winter storm(s) have us laying over in Effingham, IL probably until Monday. We arrived at Camp Lakewood yesterday evening. There is one rent-a-Class C here today but otherwise we are it with the exception of the resident owners. It's great to be cooking dinner in our own home again...

I know I read it. I don't know why I didn't save it. Or if I did, I now can't find it. I've tried using Howard's search box but no luck.

Just thought I would give everyone an update on our FT progress. We made the decision to FT last November (2009) and put our house on the market in March. Well, the house is still not sold! Reduced it $5,000 twice so now the asking price is $10,000 less than where we started. (And would take an offer $5,...

I am in need of service on my motor home. I have several items on my fix-it list, most of which is normal stuff. But I have a slide out issue that may be a major issue.

Hi all! I recently started using my RV oven, and it turns out it runs really, really hot. I bought an oven thermometer after the first time I used it, and it's heating up to 450 degrees, no matter where I set the dial. Per suggestions, I did go out and buy a pizza stone for the bottom but because of the high he...

Just a quick question to the full-timers from a gonnabe. I was just curious to know if Thanksgiving day is just another day on the road or do you make a traditional meal in your RV's?
