Packing can be methodical or haphazard. We have a friend who was new to RVing. Someone told him he had to have a chainsaw. He went out and bought one and has never used it when camping. Certainly folks that are new to RVing can learn from their fellow RVers, but you have to take your own style into consideration. If you have printed the packing list for the kitchen and bath from my website, you noticed there is a section for “Appliances that fit your cooking style.

Pardon me if I get a little analytical here. But after computer programming for twenty years, I understand that you have to look at the output (dinner) to know what is required for the input (appliances and ingredients). I’m not a gadget person. Give me a cutting board, a good knife and I am well on my way to making dinner. However, I do need a small electric chopper because I make my own pesto and spicy vegetable dip that requires a lot of fine chopping. Other folks won’t go anywhere without a bread maker or a slow cooker. I have both of these things in my kitchen at home, but don’t use them often enough to take up precious storage space in the RV.

Propane is a very handy fuel for RVers. We cool our refrigerators and heat our rigs and hot water with it. We don’t give it much thought as we crank up the thermostat. But propane is a highly flammable fuel source and there are things you might want to be aware of. The RV Repair Manual has some useful information to help keep you safe when refilling your propane tank.

There are many things that impact the kind of ride you experience in an RV. Some are easily controlled while others may require some aftermarket purchases.

The RV Doctor has some advice for you to make your trip over the highways and byways of this beautiful country a little smoother.

Whether you are on the road full time or just heading someplace for an extended period of time, you may decide to work part time. Perhaps you are getting bored, or maybe you want some income for your new lifestyle. One popular option is campground hosting. There are a number of issues to consider before you jump in. If your main goal is to save money with free camping, do some calculations to determine what that free campsite is actually costing you. On the other hand, making a difference by volunteering your time in a national or state park has intrinsic value that can’t be calculated.

Would you like to keep your finger on the pulse of legislation that affects where you can park your RV, how much it costs to go through a toll, how much you pay in taxes or other issues? Check with the Recreational Vehicle Alliance for Camping and Travel organization. This website provides information on bills that are currently under consideration by Congress. Lookup the names of your state or local officials so your voice can be heard.
