A couple of years ago my wife and I decided we were going to travel the US in a semi-retired state. We kicked out the kids (all over 21), sold our home and purchased an RV. Well live situations change and we didn’t get on the road, at least not yet. We ended up staying in the area and taking full time jobs. But we decided at the time to stay in the RV as full-timers.
Renting an RV is all the rage these days. Many people are deciding that hitting the open road with their family beats going to the beach and spending tons of your hard-earned money on fancy umbrella drinks. But if you and your family want to hit the road in an RV this summer, how does a newbie make sure to get a good deal on an RV that hasn’t been “through the ringer”?
Some RVers are not aware of a potential problem awaiting them.
Here’s the problem: While driving down the road, the fabric on the RV awning comes unfurled and might damage the fabric, the awning support pieces, and even the coach. This requires your immediate attention, whether or not it is convenient for you with regard to time or location.
Not every RVer will have this experience. I was talking with Wilson Forbes, President of Loess Hills Innovations who makes the RV Awning Travel Lock, recently and he estimated that one in five RVers would experience the problem at least once during their days of RVing. I have no data with which to refute that figure and it seems reasonable.
Tennessee is the hidden gem of the south, a true pleasure. Take the time to really explore it by staying at one of these RV lodgings in Tennessee.
Tennessee is one of the United States’ biggest homes of music. Most of the popular country western musicians of the last 50 years got their start in this state’s home of music – Nashville. Of course, Tennessee is also home to Memphis – the hometown of Elvis Presley, who some would say is the most influential musician of all time. This state isn’t all cities and music, however, because there is plenty to do if you enjoy outdoor activities. The Great Smokey National Park is located here, and there are many other spots to hike and climb the mountains of the area. The RV lodgings in Tennessee are located near many of these attractions, so you will be sure to find a park near your vacation spot.
New Mexico is all about wide open spaces that are majestic. If you are cruising through the state, here are some motorhome lodgings in New Mexico where you can spend the night.
There are many reasons to take a trip to New Mexico. Some people journey to this southwestern state in order to enjoy the beautiful scenery, such as the vast deserts and painted rock formations in the region. Others may come for a more health related reason – many feel that the warm, dry climate of New Mexico is good for people with arthritis and other chronic health concerns. Still other visitors come to see the many Native American attractions in the area. The many attractions here and the many motorhome lodgings in New Mexico make this a great place for your next family trip.
Recreational Vehicles, whether they be travel trailers, fifth-wheel trailers, motorhomes, or slide-in pickup campers, are intended for recreational purposes. That suggests that time spent living or traveling in them should not be stressful, frustrating, dangerous, or accompanied by unexpected expenses. And with proper equipment, care, and planning, that can be the case.
One event, though, can ruin your whole day–and possibly several days. That disastrous event: the sudden loss of your RV’s awning to a gust of wind while driving down the highway.
RV camping with kids can be fun for you and a great experience for the youngsters and it’s good for kids to get out of the city once in a while. Get them out and away from the television and video games. Let them see a jackrabbit or a snake or or any number of wondrous things. Tell them about the different kinds of trees and plants that are found around the campground.
I had a great biology teacher in high school who took us on nature hikes and told us about the plants and animals that lived in the woods around us. I still remember a lot of what we learned. You can be a biology teacher to you kids or you can learn together.
