Tips For Taking An Rv Vacation With Kids

Filed under Automotive

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.

4.5 Tips For Finding The Best Rv Campground Or Trailer Park For Your Road Travels

Filed under Automotive

A few years back I had the bad luck of going to a campsite that made my question my decision to be an RV lover. Despite all the research I had done, when I reached the campground we were headed to after a LONG day on the road, we discovered a campground that didn’t even resemble what we had been told.

The “hotel-like amenities” was more like a wooden shed. The “pool and pond” was more like a dirty lake that even the kids were afraid to enter. The “restaurant” made McDonald’s look like a 5-Star restaurant, and the noise from a near-by freeway was unbearable.

It was anything but relaxing. And- there was a no-refund policy.

Rv Awning Lock — Why Do I Need One?

Filed under Automotive

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.

Use Google Earth And Gps To Find Your Destination

Filed under Automotive

We were planning a visit to a relatives house, one to which we’ve been but I had forgotten exactly which road to turn on to get there. We would be taking our 5th-wheel trailer, as we’d be camping at their homestead.

The Find > Address answer in my GPS was ambiguous. I wanted solid confirmation that we would be going to the correct place. What to do?

Google Earth to the rescue! I opened Google Earth and quickly found the location. Then, I placemarked the location. (Add > Placemark) Once the placemark pin was inserted, I right clicked on the pin, went to Properties, and read off and wrote down the latitude and longitude.
