What do you use now? You’ll use them in the RV. For real. We lived in: Our cooking is identical no matter what our house looks like. To figure it out: pack everything up now, but label the boxes well. When you need something, go get that one thing out and make note of how […]
There’s no single best provider. If you’re traveling and NEED Internet, then you need a primary and a backup. If you’re stationary, your options are possibly different. For me, we were travelers- we had T-Mobile Home Internet first, then Starlink, then AT&T, and finally Verizon. (Yes, my Internet bill was super high, but it supported […]
Most people who own them like them. Many people who have never owned them won’t use them for a variety of reason (google “Andersen failures” and you’ll find a handful of catastrophic pictures that get shared often). I had one and absolutely hated it. My camper had a very low pin weight percentage (15% on […]
If you have a residential address, just don’t tell them. You can finance through anyone. If you use a mail service, they know and they’ll turn you down. Been there, done that. There are only 2 banks that I know who finance to fulltimers: Essex Bank of the West and Alliant Credit Union.
The safety topic is such a muddy one with very strong opinions on either side – the responses range from polite to “wow, I can’t believe they said that”. So, which is safer? A truck pulling a trailer or a motorhome? Most motorhomes aren’t crash tested but their seatbelt positions must pass FMVSS 209 certification. […]
The best camping chair is the one that fits you and you like. Chairs are so wildly personal. Things that one person loves, someone else will hate. I’m mostly in the hate side of a lot of chairs because I like a taller chair, want ventilation, and don’t mind a little bit of bulk when […]
No and no. Pineapples and flamingos do not indicate that those RVers are swingers. It means that they like pineapples and/or flamingos. This is a myth put on by people who want to believe that there is some sort of tell with those “in the lifestyle”. There’s not. I know a few swingers in real […]
To figure out your RV’s holding tanks, you need to do a short experiment. You need to test out which handles go with which RV wastewater tanks. One of the first thing I do with a new RV is to make sure all of the tanks are empty. Pull each handle that you see and […]
There’s no real easy way to find an RV park to live in. It takes leg work and making phone calls. You’re going to need to search for RV parks using Campendium.com and CampgroundReviews.com. Then you need to check that each is open year round if you’re planning on being there all year. And then […]
If you can plug it into a regular household plug in your house, you can use it in the camper. The main difference from a house is you have 2 legs of 200 amps of power available. In an RV, you either have 2 legs of 50 amp power or 1 leg of 30 amp […]
