Summertime and RVing is easy

2011-06-06T21:33:00.000-07:00

Title of this post used words of a song from this I have taken a long break from this blog and now that it's summertime, it's time to get started again. It is now past Memorial Day weekend, which, according to the National Parks and Recreation Association, is officially the beginning of summer. I figured I could start the summer reminding us all of some great websites that can help

Reserve America

2011-01-04T05:58:00.000-08:00

Many thousands of people each month are looking for this website, and there aren't many searches comparitively, so I thought this deserved a mention. The website is: http://www.reserveamerica.com/ I can see why many people are looking for this website in particular. It has a lot of good information about where to go when camping. There isn't just RV camping, there is also: tent camping,

Solar Panels for RVs????

2010-12-27T15:28:00.000-08:00

Click HERE What are solar panels? They are basically flat material that is generally put on the roof of a house (or might work for an RV - why not try?) to save money on electricity bills. From what I've learned about RVs, they take a LOT of electricity. Why not? Solar Panels can be made for homes. Why not check out this website and see if it would work for your RV? Wouldn't you

RV Park Reviews - take two

2010-12-21T19:18:00.000-08:00

I already posted about one website a few months ago RVParkReviews.com, but I wanted to include some other websites that are similar, so to give you more options. http://www.campgroundreport.com/ This website lets you choose a certain area in the United States to find an RV Park review and also lets you submit your own critiques of an RV Park at which you've stayed. It has a simple, yet useful,

Money making while RVing

2010-12-18T09:50:00.000-08:00

I just started a new website that talks about affiliate marketing (read next paragraph for more information) and also might help in finding what to get for those who are hard to buy for on your Christmas list. There are many products to buy and some you can sign up to sell. If you have access to the internet, or can find some at the RV Parks at which you stay, you can make money. I explain

Guest Blogger - I was on her blog

2010-11-26T18:55:00.000-08:00

Me a few years ago I'm not trying to toot my own horn, but I just wanted to give another community more of me - what I feel I can give. I wanted to reach out to another RV community who has a certain perspective and give them another perspective. If any of you would like to be a guest blogger on my post to give this community a different perspective, I welcome that.

Gratitude and RVing

2010-11-25T19:55:00.000-08:00

On Thanksgiving Day, I feel that this is very appropriate to discuss. First of all, I think Gratitude and RVing go hand in hand because gratitude is what you have before you go RVing (first and hopefully every time), get to the point you can go full-time if that is your goal and to help things work properly. I'm going to mention these and explain them. Think back to the first time you

KOA RV Park debate

2010-11-20T20:43:00.000-08:00

In the news on 11-18-10: In one of the KOA RV Parks, the judge was listening to reasons the RV Park should or should not be re-zoned. If you don't know what KOA RV Parks are, or want a reminder, visit my blog post about it. It must be hard to be a Judge to try to decide things that you may or may not care about. Then, to judge based on the law, even if it varies from what is right and

Texas RV Parks

2010-11-16T12:38:00.000-08:00

As I'm sure you've noticed in the other posts, for the most part, I stick to websites that are more directories for all of the parks in the state. I think this post will be a little different. I will mention some directories, and some individual RV Campgrounds. A Few Directories http://www.texascampgrounds.com/ You can search for an RV Park, check out local attractions, Blog, Sales and

Free RV Campgrounds ... Who likes free?

2010-11-11T11:10:00.000-08:00

We have discussed RV Parks many times, but, thinking back to it, we have not discussed FREE RV Campgrounds. I know that many are wanting to RV, but staying at a campground can take up much of the money desired for other stuff (like sightseeing and food). I have an ad for other Free Campgrounds for RVs - if this isn't enough. http://www.freecampgrounds.com/ It is VERY simple, but complex

RV History

2010-11-05T20:42:00.001-07:00

Have you ever wondered why we even have RVs? Where did they come from? What is the RV lifestyle? I know I talk more about RV Parks than RVs, but this blog seems very informative and this post specifically was very interesting to me. I didn't know that information and rather than summarize, I'd rather let you read the post yourself. http://www.springfieldwebblog.com/

State Park Camping

2010-11-03T21:14:00.000-07:00

There are many ways to find state parks in each state. You could always look in the local phone book or go to www.dexknows.com to find individual states, but I will be focusing on websites that will help us look up all states at the same time. There are many state parks in each state and many of them are very specific to what you are looking to see. http://www.reserveamerica.com/ This site not

Directory of RV Parks lists

2010-10-30T21:13:00.000-07:00

Many of my posts, of course, are websites so you can find RV Parks. These are informational and intended to help find places to stay while RVing. I also included Campervan and Caravan Camping as well, so as to be worldwide support for RV Parks. Some of the posts are simply lists and some of the posts have description of the websites and services offered. Feel free to use these lists whenever

Directory of Fun Article Links to this blog

2010-10-30T15:45:00.000-07:00

There are a few blog posts that may be useless in terms of information, but I think have been profound and I personally have had the most fun and passion in writing them. Many of these lists are comparing RVs, RV Parks or RVing to something else. These are not intended to be sac-religious or poking fun, but are meant to be thought-provoking and perhaps life-changing. I wrote them in hopes to

RVing and Passion

2010-10-27T21:09:00.000-07:00

I know how important PASSION is in every aspect of life. Just so we're both on the same page, to me passion means the intense love for whatever you're doing and the intense desire to share it with others. Passion is, of course, important for RVing. Though there are many problems on the road with traffic, parking, repairs, hookups, cooking, sleeping, etc., I'm assuming the reason you want

Caravan and Camping

2010-10-25T21:01:00.000-07:00

There are many varied sites when I search this topic, so I will have three categories in this post: caravan and camping sites (mostly other countries than we've explored in previous posts), caravan and camping clubs and camping and caravan shows (like an RV show). If you'd like to visit some of the websites in my previous post, here they are: For different sites in different places, here are

Camper Parks

2010-10-23T20:53:00.000-07:00

Camper Parks are another term for RV Parks. Because they have a different name, I thought they deserved their own post, to give you more RV Parks from which to choose. http://www.campertrails.com This site has a wealth of information. There are a list of Camper Parks in Canada, USA and Europe. There are also links for insurance, news, trip planner, travel checklist, outdoor cooking, RV

Campervan Parks

2010-10-20T20:44:00.000-07:00

While I'm at it, I might as well mention Campervan Parks in Australia as well. Just as a note, if you Google "campervan parks" the only sites that actually talk about them are blog/forum style. In fact, from one of the forums is where I got the idea for these specific Campervan Parks. You can view that forum post at: http://www.fodors.com For other ideas of places to stay, I'd recommend

Camping Holidays

2010-10-16T21:49:00.000-07:00

I mostly tailor to USA, but I figured since this is being broadcast worldwide, I may as well tailor at least a few posts to RVers of other countries. A "camping holiday" could also be referred to as to go RVing or to go on a vacation in an RV or motorhome. These are RV Parks or RV Resorts in other countries. http://www.eurocamp.co.uk/ This website talks about, what sounds to me like, RV resorts

Depression

2010-10-09T21:33:00.000-07:00

Depression is a serious thing. I saw a billboard once that says, "You don't tell someone who has Diabetes to just 'get over it.' " The reason I bring this up is, as a full-time RVer, or not being able to go RVing as often as you want to, it might be easy to get depressed. I've heard depression described as a sad feeling that doesn't go away and affects your daily life. With problems with

RV Park Insurance/ RV Insurance

2010-10-07T20:01:00.000-07:00

Before traveling on the road, as mentioned in my B4 Your First Trip blog post, one of the first things you need to do is get insurance. It's not as hard to get insurance as you might think. As an RV Park Owner, you know how important it is to insure your park. Here are some websites you can look at for information on getting insurance on your RV Park: http://www.outdoorinsurancegroup.com

RV Parks, Mobile Home parks, and Trailer Parks - What are differences and similarities?

2010-10-06T15:42:00.000-07:00

Sorry for the delay - just have been focusing on other things - like writing and submitting this article to article directories. Before I begin to note similarities and differences, I want to define what mobile home parks, trailer parks and RV Parks. Trailer Parks are a designated area where many trailers are located in a small community. The trailers are a rectangular shape and

RVing - take two

2010-09-30T21:06:00.000-07:00

Wanna go RVing? RVing, if you were to define it, would be the act of traveling around in a Recreational Vehicle. Some go RVing full-time (year-round) and some people go RVing only during the summer, while others yet go RVing one or two weeks a year. However, if you're an avid RVer, you go RVing as often as your situation permits. Here are a few websites that can help in your pursuit to go

Yosemite RV Parks

2010-09-27T21:25:00.000-07:00

There are 13 inside Yosemite National Park, and I'll also mention a few nearby. Just as a note, if you are staying over night in Yosemite, you must be at a campsite, not along the side of the road or in a parking lot. There is a spot on the website that tells you all that you need to know, including what to do if you encounter a bear, internet access pricing and availability, as well as more

KOA Campgrounds

2010-09-23T19:58:00.000-07:00

KOA Campground in Orlando, FL In case you don't know, KOA stands for Kampgrounds of America. They were founded by Dave Drum in 1962. He, according to wikipedia.org, got the idea for the KOA after one of the times he was walking along his property in Yellowstone River and noticing travelers heading to the Seattle World's Fair. Basically, he saw a possible need and filled it, which as some
