The RV lifestyle is great for many reasons, but one of the best parts of RVing is being able to take your furry friends with you on the road. If you’re traveling with pets, however, it’s important to make sure you’ve got everything they need to stay safe and healthy on their next big adventure.…
You may be itching to get out of the house and hit the open road because the roads today are typically the only thing open with the pandemic that has hit the nation. Hopefully someday soon we can venture out with caution and safety in mind. One of the cautions from the World Health Organization…
As most of us are staying at home or at least limiting the number of trips out for essentials, we are challenged to find activities that keep us from going stir crazy.

Hopefully most of us take the typical precautions for winterizing such as adding antifreeze to the fresh water system, emptying out the water heater, and preparing for rodents! However, most RVers walk…
Earlier, in Part 1 of this series, we discussed an overview of the 120-volt AC system and how electricity comes in from the shoreline source and supplies the appliances. In this article we will talk about what individual appliances require for electrical power, and how to manage your system to prevent overloading the source. Most…
It is important to understand the basics of 120-volt power and how it supplies components in your RV. The power pedestal or “Shoreline Power” at the campground typically has three connections for 50 amp, 30 amp, and 15 amp power. The 50 amp plug in is for larger coaches to supply 240 volts, 120 volts…
As we approach the dog days of summer, we find ourselves “recreating” in some extreme temperatures and high humidity conditions. In our homes we can maintain a comfortable temperature just by setting the thermostat and not worry about it. Every time we walk into the house the temperature is the same. Too many new RV…
