I think that for the most part the answer to that question would be a yes. However, it might depend on where you start with your economic situation. For this discussion I will assume that we all have been working for a living and are either retired or about to retire.

A little while back I had heard that the RV/MH Hall of Fame was facing financial difficulties and might possibly shut down. What a shame that would have been! Today I received my copy of Trailer Life Magazine and on page 8 was an article about some generous giving that would give the Hall of [...]

On our return from Maryland, we thought it would be a good idea to take a side trip to Charleston, SC. Since we had never been there, we wanted to visit and take in some of the history of the town. Our route of travel took us down Interstate 95 and we took two days [...]

Cherry Hill Park is located in College Park, MD just north of Washington, DC.

We are on the road to Maryland to spend some time with our son and his family. We left day before yesterday and will spend three nights on the road. We have made this trip three times before and each time we have taken a different route. However, this year we are taking the same [...]

Another name change

Since I have been posting information about campgrounds on my website, there have been a number of campgrounds that have changed their names. Mostly they have been going from a KOA name to a private name or from a private name to a KOA name. There has been one private campground that I know of [...]

Installing the 360 Siphon

I just completed the installation of the 360 Siphon on the vent pipes of my RV. The 360 Siphon is a revolutionary patented designed vent cap that will positively prevent downdrafts into the vent pipes for the waste tanks on RVs. When air flows down a vent pipe, it causes a higher pressure in the [...]

It is always fun to go to [...]

Over the years since people started RVing, the cost of an overnight at a campground has continued to go up. However, it is still cheaper to stay in a campground than it is to stay in a hotel. We all know that campground rates vary just like hotel rates depending on the quality and amenities [...]
