    What Qualifies as a "Reliable" Class C?

    Wabbit, that leads to a question I have been wondering about. How does someone find a good RV guy/gal if one is new at this?

    My 2 Sons Staged an Intervention Yesterday.....

    61 years old here, no kids, not living the life, but have family members who freak out about all kinds of things, so I understand a little of that part of your situation. It's your life, not your sons', so you are the one who gets to decide. HOWEVER, family being what they are, I imagined be...

    Trailer without tow vehicle - what could go wrong? :)

    Thanks everyone, for your input. I'm glad that I'm not off base, and the idea of renting is a real help for me. And I will check out the Pahrump Hump. I teach, so traveling around in the summer is pretty easy, but the school year is h*** for any projects (why I'm thinking if moving in the summer...

    Trailer without tow vehicle - what could go wrong? :)

    I'm wondering what people's thoughts are about this idea. I can retire in a year, and want to test out life in a small space before I take the plunge. So  I thought  I'd spend the year living in some kind of RV, renting in a park.   I have a condo (and a mortgage) now, with a renter in it.  I...

    OTC Antihistamines and Wasp/Bee stings

    If you look at a lot of the "night time pain relievers," you'll see that Benadryl is one of the ingredients. As noted above, it is soothing, but keep in mind that it can make you sleepy, so you avoid, or be very careful about, driving.

    Voice activated gps

    The GPS part of Google maps will work even if you are offline. The problem is that Google maps doesn't keep the entire map of the United States (or whatever country you are in) in your phone, and relies on Wi-Fi to download parts of the map as you travel. That being said, Google maps does allow...

    How To Keep Pets Safe & Cool OTR

    As far as grocery shopping, at Fry's ( the Arizona version of Kroger), you can order your groceries online, and then you can reserve a pickup time, where they will bring them right to your vehicle. But there is a few, v so maybe not cheap. I think I read that Walmart will do the same

    Where do you live when your rig is in the shop?

    Thank you all for your replies! And although this isn't exactly a reply, it really addressed my state of mind: "Worry is a misuse of imagination." So thank you, v especially, for that!

    Trampus gets a partial facelift. :)

    I thought it looked nice before, but you've really made it even cozier and homier with those placemats! Really creative and great job!

    Where do you live when your rig is in the shop?

    OK, this newbie has her first question: Even for minor things, sometimes you have to drop off an RV with an engine for maintenance or repairs. What do you do in that case? Other than sightseeing, what do you do for a whole day? More than a day? With animals (my cats really don't want to be...

    Newbie Wannabe

    Hi, everyone, I've been watching Bob's videos for a few months now, and also Robin's from Creativity RV. I think it's time to graduate from my dilletante status and actually start doing some research; signing up here is that first step. I live in Phoenix. My future RV lifestyle will have to...
