The Never-Bored RVers’ Journal: The Old Mormon Road

Barry Zander — Fri, 20 Apr 2018 16:09:37 +0000

It’s doubtful that anyone is born with a gene that makes them an expert RVer on day one. When we bought our first RV – a 22-foot lightweight travel trailer – we didn’t even know where to fill the fresh-water tank! That’s why on our first time out as full-timers I knew practically nothing. One of our first stops was at the state park in Cedar Canyon, Utah. It was a wonderful place to fall in love...

9 Awesome National Parks for RVers

RV Lifestyle & Repair Editors — Thu, 08 Mar 2018 22:32:39 +0000

National Parks are great destinations to see some breathtaking scenery. However, many RVers are surprised upon arrival that not all National Park campsites are RV friendly. Sometimes, RVers need to stay in private campgrounds close to the park, instead of actually in the park. RVing is an experience like no other, but you do need to prepare before embarking on your journey. Check out our list of parks that are great for RVers, all with their own write up from our resident RV travel expert: Sue Bray. Sue Bray has worked in the RV industry for 35+ years. Over the summer, Sue, her husband Mel, and their boxer Harley took off to tour the country in their 31’ fifth wheel, with no exact plans except to have an adventure. She’s chronicled her trip to provide advice for RVers for many of the most popular parks.

The Never-Bored RVers’ Journal: Across The Top Of America Part 2

Most of our travels aren’t spent walking into history, but when presented with the opportunity, we almost always find it time well spent. In Butte, Montana, we partied at the National Folk Festival, which proved entertaining. Lots to see and enjoy that day, but what we found most interesting on that stop was “Butte Underground.” We tagged along with a small group of tourists as our party was led...

Top 4 Places to See on an Alaskan RV Trip

RV Lifestyle & Repair Editors — Thu, 04 Jun 2015 18:46:27 +0000

Alaska: the last frontier. Spanning more than half a million square miles dotted with mirage-like towns and framed with vast mountain ranges, seemingly limitless, it bursts at the seams with the unknown. Alaska is one of the few states in the nation where you can come face-to-face with a grizzly bear and never lack room to run and hide. In a climate very much governed by Mother Nature...

Taking the leap into long-distance or long-term RVing can be a little daunting. Like with anything, there are a lot of “what if” questions to consider. While preparing for our first RV trip together, I was sure I was under-planning. My husband, however, was convinced I was over-planning. Where’s the balance?
