As you are traveling down the highways and byways of this great country keep in mind that you can spread good cheer with a simple act. Wave! We always wave to other folks that are driving any type of RV. And we’re not prejudice. We even wave to the folks who are driving an RV which costs ten times what our rig cost. We get rather enthusiastic when we come across another RV just like ours and include hooting and hollering along with the waves. I can’t tell you how disappointing it can be when you wave to a fellow camper and no one waves back. It doesn’t cost anything. It makes someone else feel good. It makes a connection with a fellow camper. This is a win-win situation. So why don’t some folks wave back?

There is an important new symbol being added to the blue informational signs along the highways. These signs tell you what services are available at an exit. Two states are adding a round yellow circle with the letters RV inside to those services which have room for big rigs. What a relief to know which gas station is actually big enough for your RV before you pull off the highway. This is underway in Oregon and Louisiana and it is the result of RVers just like you who have lobbied for this feature. You can help promote this in your own state. Frank Brodersen of the Family Motor Coach Association tells how to start the process in your state.

Some Fleetwood motorhomes equipped with Draw-Tite-brand hitch receivers are being recalled due to potential missing welds in the hitch receiver box.

Monaco has three recalls dealing with windshield wiping system on some Beaver coaches, the antilock brake system on some Executive models and certain Holiday Ramblers may have a problem with the wiring on the patio awning motor.

It’s time for snowbirding - when folks head south for the winter. As you plan your route or destination, you might want to consider a festival. There’s one for every interest.

So what is WiFi anyway? WiFi stands for Wireless Fidelity. It gives you the ability to connect to the Internet without wires. It requires some additional equipment for your PC, but once you have it, you no longer need to leave the comfort of your own motorhome to connect. Many RV parks are adding WiFi to their list of services to attract computer savvy campers. But there are also places where you can connect while you are on the road. Some locations are free, some require a purchase and others charge an hourly or monthly fee.
