RV Life and Travel: Recreational Vehicles, RV Living, Camping, Travel
RV life and travel. Many say it’s the best life and travel. Recreational vehicles give you the comforts of home and the diversity of a vehicle.
My husband and I lived full-time in an RV for fourteen years. We’ve traveled by RV from California to Maryland, from Wyoming to Florida, from the southern tip of Texas to Alaska. We now enjoy RVing with a home base in Alaska.
Join us in our RV life and travels. We’re enthusiastic proponents of RVing and we have tons of RVing and camping information to share with you.
And, speaking of camping, isn’t camping and RVing the same thing? Sometimes, but not always. Campers can camp in RVs – but they can also camp in tents or out in the open, under the starry skies.
And, aren’t RVers campers? Some RVers stay at campgrounds, enjoy picnics on paper plates and campfires. Others? They dine in their rigs, on fine china, and afterwards lounge in front of their fireplace while they watch their big screen TVs.
Just as RVers come in all shapes, styles, and sizes, so do RVs.
Motorcycles can tow tiny, but functional, pop-up campers. Forty foot fifth-wheel trailers, with four slide-out rooms, can require a heavy-duty truck to pull them safely.
The price? I used to say you could pick up a used one for a few hundred dollars or buy a fancy new one for a few hundred thousand dollars. Now, those fancy motorhomes can be over one million dollars.
We’re assembling information about RVs, RV travel, and the full-time RVing lifestyle. Let’s see what’s here....
