Winter can be rough for RVers, there are not many places in the US to be in winter to stay warm and safe from all the winter elements. I have been told stories of wintering in Arizona for some time but this year is my first chance to experience it for myself.

The Quartzsite area is a popular destination for RVers in the winter because of its...

  I’ve had the pleasure of traveling up and down the Oregon Coast a few times now, I do really love it and highly recommend taking the time if you are able…Here are a few observations or tips I acquired while traveling on the wonderful coastal 101.PICK A DIRECTION IF YOU NEED  - I feel the North and South are vastly different!….The North is more touristy town, good for shopping and eating, nice beaches to bring a chair and hang out all day….The South is more rugged beaches, smaller towns with not a lot going on...

Being an RVer we all travel in different ways, have different rigs and like to do things in different ways. I think we can all agree that we all have items that make our lives better, easier or we just take pleasure in as we travel. Here are my top 5 must have travel items:1. WiBoost - I work as I travel, and I do like to get off the beaten path and camp in places where cell coverage is not great…My Booster is wonderful….The booster usually boosts my signal 2 bars or so….Don’t leave home...
