Okay, not sure if this is the right place to post this but this is The burning question for me. How hard is it, really, to drive a Class C with a toad? I've driven an ambulance, but my biggest rig was considerably shorter than a MH w/tow vehicle. Tell me I can do it, lol.....I need to hear these words!

Hi all, It looks like I'm going to be heading to my relative's house in Bullhead City, AZ for Thanksgiving. I have a question - I absolutely love to travel - you'll see that, if you take a look at my blog - and I haven't seen much of Arizona, so I thought I might fly into Phoenix, rent a car and drive to Bullhead...

While in the process of "digitizing" my LP records so I can put them onto CD's, I was listening to The Association Live album this morning. (Yeah, I know. Some of you are saying, "Who?") One line in one of their songs could almost be used as an RV'er's philosophy. From One Too M...

I have been following many RV blogs for a couple of years now. Those who are not yet full timers are generally refered to as "wannabes". I believe the appropriate term should be "gonnabe". That certainly sounds more positive than wannabes. Also wannabes sound to much like co...

Well folks, we got our tow vehicle and are almost ready to hit that road. To compliment our "lovely" green striped 20 ft. Prowler, we just purchased a smashing green and golden '94 Chevy Gladiator Conversion Van. The van is in amazing shape. It's got 106,000 on it, but it was maintained t...

We have a good friend near Seattle that works at an RV repair and supply business. We were telling him all about our plans and he said DON'T DO IT!!

So I'm on my way to work in Auburn and I'm seeing all types of RVs coming by - Fifth Wheels, Class As, travel trailers, even a pop up.

How are you doing Christmas this year? We are looking at budgetting right now, and I am dreading this. We can afford to do what we have always done - as much as we could afford it last year and the year before. So we will end up broke for 3 months, yet again. I just don't know where to cut down. The gif...

Although it's several months away, we are getting quite excited as we consider attending our first RV show. We live in South FL, so this one is relatively local for us.

OK, this MAY be a dumb question but here goes..... Living in an RV should we avoid taking a shower during a thunder storm?

I was headed north on RT 9 North to Kremmling, Colorado when I got into some crosswinds and had both hands tightly gripped on the steering wheel for that. Any advice on what is that best way to deal with cross winds?
