One of our favorite dinners at home is peanut pork loin. It is very simple to put together, so we decided to try it on one of our extended RV trips. It turned out so well and was so easy that we had to pass it along. One of the things we like about RVing…
Don’t Be This Guy IX We had an interesting experience at our last campground. Like many campgrounds these days, they closed their office and store at 6 p.m. Why, I have no idea. Staying open a couple more hours seems like a nice perk for campers who suddenly realize they need s’more supplies or something…
We were traveling from Door County, Wisconsin, to Mackinaw City, Michigan. It was an easy run of just under 300 miles. The roads were in good shape, traffic was light, and we had already stopped for fuel and made a stop at a discount store to restock a few items. We were traveling on a…
You see all types of people when camping, and our stop in De Pere, Wisconsin, proved no different. Normally, this wouldn’t be worth mentioning, but the sites at this campground were very close together, so you tend to value every bit of space you have. The folks in the site next to us were already…
On our trip to Door County, we stopped in Appleton, Wisconsin, for a big fireworks festival that I have already mentioned on the site. Our next stop was Brussels, Wisconsin, a mere 50 miles away. It seemed a little strange to move such a short distance, but we were looking forward to an easy travel…
If you’ve ever approached a weigh station while towing your RV, you’ve probably wondered whether you should pull in or keep driving. The answer isn’t as simple as many people think. While most privately owned RVs are not treated as commercial vehicles, a handful of states have laws or signage that can require certain RVs…
On our recent trip to Texas, I found myself with plenty of time to think. The long solo drive to San Antonio gave me hours to reflect, and those quiet morning walks along the beach in South Padre Island only added to it. I’ve always enjoyed walking on the beach. Whether I’m alone or with…
Planning the Journey For most people, buying an RV means they plan to travel. Sure, some RVs spend their lives on seasonal or permanent sites, but most of us bought ours to see new places. Years ago, traveling was a little more spontaneous. On travel days, you could decide a couple of hours before stopping…
Camping or Looking? First, I should mention that we tow a 40 foot fifth wheel ourselves, and there are times when you simply have to take whatever parking spaces are available. But situations like the one in the picture give many RVers a bad reputation. Along the Oregon Coast, beautiful overlooks and scenic pullouts line…
