Is an RV clothing washer/dryer worth it? And what should I know about them?

To answer if an RV clothing washer/dryer is worth it or not, the first question is are you weekending or fulltime? We weekended for 3 years and just didn’t see the point. We didn’t mind the occasional trip to the campground laundry facilities and taking home dirty clothes. Once we went fulltime, we started without […]

I just bought an RV (travel trailer, fifth wheel, pop-up, or motorhome) – what do I need?

NEEDs are very few, SHOULD HAVEs a little longer, and WANTs are never ending! Watch out for “must have” lists with 30+ things on them. Some are good, some you’ll never use. Start small and go use it a few times before going overboard buying all the things. See if this list helps get you […]

And if you don’t already have one, get a TPMS! In my opinion, it’s almost more important than the […]
