New Year’s Resolution?

By Lynn Difley It’s that time again, the beginning of a new year; time to take stock of the last 365 days and decide what we want to change in the upcoming year. It’s a great tradition, but one that often leads to regrets and disappointment when our lofty goals and admirable ideals fall by the wayside. It doesn’t need to be this way; we don’t have to fail in the drive to better both ourselves and the world around us. There are some tried and true techniques to achieve success, to reach those worthwhile goals and make the changes you recognize as best. Read more Tell a Friend Read More →

Historical Perspective and the Auto Industry, Including RVs

For a lot of years I covered the auto industry, as well as teaching, and wrote about it in a nationally syndicated column. My reporting and writing covered a forty year span watching the industry go from three major and several smaller companies dominating the US market to the gaggle that we have today. During that time there was AMC, the remnants of Nash and Hudson, GM, Ford and Chrysler. GM held 65 % of the market place with 6 divisions, Chevrolet the low priced entry level car. One step up was the family Pontiac, then the more expensive Oldsmobile, the higher level Buick and the top dog Cadillac. Ford held second place with Ford, Mercury, and Lincoln. Chrysler rounded out the “big three” with Plymouth, Dodge, DeSoto, and Chrysler. The one prominent factor in that market mix was the clear definition between car lines based on quality and price.

Pet E.R. Guide: A Valuable Handbook That Can Save You Time in an Emergency and Possibly Your Pet’s Life

The Pet E.R. Guide by Melinda Lord (Trailer Life Books) is something pet owners shouldn’t leave home without. It’s a directory of 24-hour and after-hour veterinary facilities in the United States. The author stresses at the beginning of the book to PLEASE call the emergency facility prior to transporting your pet there. A facility could have been sold and relocated or simply gone out of business. A phone call could save you and your pet a lot of time… even its life. Read more Tell a Friend Read More →

Full-timing and an anchor point. Is it for you?

From the desk of Firedude Well after 6 years of full-timing, camp hosting and traveling I have gotten me an “anchor point”. It’s located on the central coast where I used to host. The weather is usually fantastic all year round and love the cool summers. I’ve gotten to a point where it feels nice to have that anchor point to return to any time I need it while traveling. I’ll be “moving in” the first part of January. Looking out my rear bay windows I’ll have a view out over the ocean. My kind of view! There are only about 3 places that you can live year round on the central coast and I feel lucky. It took 6 years of being on a list to get it! It is about a 25’ walk to the laundry room and 20’ walk to my mailbox! While some don’t need a so called anchor point after 6 years I felt it was time. Like I said it gives me an anchor point to return to whenever needed. In addition I have a lot of friends there I’ve met over the years hosting which makes it feel more or less like home to me. With the economy the way it is and not knowing where it’s headed it’s nice to know I have a resort like home on the coast. As long as fuel prices are down I can be on the go, but should they ever climb back up to a ridiculous price I have my spot on the beach. After 6 years of hosting it was time to quit. Yes you get a free site and all, but after 6 years off and on it became a job. I have NO intentions on going to a stick home at all. It was just a... Read more

Stop Flushing Your Money Away!

Today, many people that enjoy RVing are seeking ways to reduce their travelling costs.    Changing driving habits, destinations and stay durations are becoming common practices to that end.  But, there is only so much that you can do to reduce fuel consumption.  Buying and trying “Snake oil” fuel reduction remedies just don’t work, and end up increasing your costs instead of saving.  So, we must look elsewhere for help.  After all, if you could save spending $10 every few weeks, that could be put towards your fuel expense. If you currently buy and use a black tank deodorant, what you are about to read may save you some money.  But first, you may have a small capital purchase.  If your motor home or trailer is equipped with a black tank flush, you are all set.  If not, you will need to get some kind of tank flushing accessory kit.  These are available in various forms including a simple “Y” coupling type that fits between the tank flush port and the hose adaptor fitting.  The “Y” is similar to the hose adaptor except it has a garden hose sized port branching out forming the “Y”.  This smaller port has an on/off valve and is connected to a water supply.  Once the tank has been drained, the water is turned on and forced up into the empty tank.  This high speed water action clears out much of the tank build up that can form.  Repeat this several times and your tank is relatively clean. So, how is all this saving... Read more

Extra Charges for Cellular Internet

I get a lot of questions about how much bandwidth usage is typical in one month. If you use an aircard, or tethered cell phone for your broadband Internet access, the contract with your cellular provider probably limits you to 5 Gigabytes of usage. So, how much is that? First, you need to know that 1 Gigabyte (GB) = roughly 1,000 Mebabytes (MB) (1,024 to be exact) Here are some numbers just to give you an idea of typical usage. Keep in mind that there is really no such thing as ‘typical’ however. It’s kind of like asking, “How many miles does the typical RVer travel in a month?” You know that can range from 100 miles to 5,000 miles or more! Read more Tell a Friend Read More →
