We all know we are supposed to “winterize” our RVs. RV owners can hire a professional to winterize or go the DIY route.
But another important thing to remember is removing the batteries from your RV. Keep your batteries in a cool (but not freezing) place during the winter and check their charge every month or so. Don’t let the batteries get lower than 80% discharged.

Campers Inn is giving their customers the brush off! Problems are unsolved, and customer phone calls are ignored!
There is a discussion on our forum on Campers Inn, and one of our forum regulars in having problems with their RV refrigerator. Campers Inn have had her RV for a week and half (after waiting for over 3 weeks for an appointment) and it hasn’t even been looked at. Everyone is on

This winter we had a lot of wood that wasn’t quite “seasoned” long enough. What did we do? We bought those Bio Bricks (or logs) from the local hardware store and they worked great in unison with the un-seasoned, wet logs.
We’re thinking we might do the same this summer for campfires. We also found another type of bio-log to try. It’s supposed to last 3 hours. I figured along with a few logs of

Updated: 2009-06-14: We are still using this grill four years later! We take it with us in the RV for all our camping trips. It's been a workhorse!
Originally authored on June 08, 2005
Well now that we had the opportunity to use our new Weber Baby Q grill this week, we can honestly say we love this grill!
First, at under 30lbs, it is extremely portable and easy to carry on our camping trips.

The Camco 39062 RV Dual Flush Pro Holding Tank Rinser with Gate Valve is very similar to the Flush King. I checked out the reviews on Amazon, and the only complaint was that it didn't seem to be as fast as the official Flush King; the other 5 reviewers gave it 4 and 5 stars. It's cheaper than the Flush King, at only $31 (at Amazon) and FREE shipping

The Flush King is on sale at Camping World - only $39.98 if you have a Camping World President's Club membership. If not, it's still a great buy at $44.43 (regularly $49.99) The reviews are still strongly positive (4 out of 5 stars) from Camping World customers. We have been using ours since June of 2005 and have had no problems with it!

Found a great article on the blog @ rvlifestyleexperts.com/. Is it the right time to buy an RV? Do you buy now or later?
The article states yes, it’s a great time to buy an RV. It’s a buyers market! You can get a great deal on a new or used RV. The inventory is plentiful and the dealers need sales, but be smart!
My advise is you must be honest with yourself and your financial situation before

At the last minute, we decided to check out the New England Camping & RV Show this afternoon. This year the show is in Foxboro, MA at Gillette Stadium. Easy access off Rt 1. Free parking. $9 adult admission.
The show was much smaller than when it was held in Boston; Mike estimated that it was only about a quarter to a third the size of past shows.
Quite frankly, we were disappointed, and I

One of our long time visitors, Carl, sent us his review of Microsoft Streets & Trips 2007 software:
Don’t Waste Your Money
We purchased Microsoft Streets & Trips 2007 with GPS to use on a Coast to Coast trip and want to warn others about it. The 120+ dollars was a TOTAL WASTE. Microsoft products and support which has been going downhill, has finally hit bottom.
We were planning to use it to
