VIDEO: “Long Long Honeymoon” in Maine!

For the past six months, Maine has been an ethereal, theoretical destination for our Long Long Honeymoon. If we had a dollar for every time we exclaimed, “This spring, we’re taking our Airstream up to Maine!” our fuel expenses would be covered. So now that we finally made it, has Maine lived up to our expectations? No… Read more Tell a Friend Read More →

VIDEO: Henry David Thoreau — The Original Fulltimer?!

Is it possible to visit Boston without actually, um, visiting Boston? When we rolled into Beantown, we set up camp in a rural area some 30 miles outside the metropolis. Read more Tell a Friend Read More →

VIDEO: RV Camping in NEW YORK CITY?!

On our Long Long Honeymoon, we’ve enjoyed our share of rustic camping locations. Places like Yellowstone, the Grand Canyon, and Glacier National Park come to mind. Getting back to nature is what camping’s all about, right? But what happens when we take our “condo on wheels” into an urban environment like NEW YORK CITY? Read more Tell a Friend Read More →

As a general rule, our “Long Long Honeymoon” is a lighthearted show. We focus more upon the fun stuff than the alternative. I figure there’s enough bad news in the world. Why add to it? Read more Tell a Friend Read More →

VIDEO: Ever Run Out of GAS?

‘Tis said that the journey is the destination. But what does that mean? Since we tend to travel in heavy doses, our own “destination” extends beyond the campground. I’m referring to life on the road. At LongLongHoneymoon.com, we consider all aspects of the RV experience. Take, for example, the timeless question, “Do you have enough space?” A psychological transition happens a few days into a major road trip. We not only shift gears; we shift lifestyles. Our minds quickly redefine what constitutes “normal.” It’s a reasonable query, and by now the answer is obvious. The reality is that people don’t need a lot of space to be happy and satisfied; we need to be comfortable. And the two of us are quite comfortable, together, occupying our RV. A friend of mine recently analogized our RV trips to an ocean cruise. At first glance this seems odd, but there’s some substance to this analogy. Heck, Airstream once made a travel trailer dubbed the Land Yacht. So, do you have “enough space” on a cruise ship? Of course: you have what you need. Sometimes the more pertinent question is along these lines: “Do you have enough gas?” Sadly, sometimes the answer to this question is no. —— For more timeless questions (and more gas) check out our website: LongLongHoneymoon.com.

VIDEO: Which is BEST for Towing? GAS or DIESEL?

On The Long Long Honeymoon (LongLongHoneymoon.com) we’re launching a new series of video questions that you can discuss around the campfire. On the menu today: gas or diesel? Those of us who have towable RVs must confront this issue head on. Quite frankly, when we bought our Airstream I had little knowledge of diesel engines. I just knew that we needed to buy a big honkin’ truck. So I started shopping, and quickly learned that this decision is one of the fundamental choices one must make when purchasing a tow vehicle.

VIDEO: Interested in Airstreams?

As regular viewers of The Long Long Honeymoon know, Kristy and I have an Airstream travel trailer. Airstreams have been in production longer than most of us have been alive. The company was established in 1931. Although Airstream has dabbled in motorhomes and other RVs, the company is famous for its travel trailers. What makes ‘em different? The most obvious answer is the aluminum skin. The upside of aluminum construction is longevity. It never rusts, and never goes out of fashion. The aircraft inspired construction is aerodynamic and tows like a dream. We get 12 MPG towing our 25-foot Classic, which is one of the heavier models. But Airstreams have a few quirks, also mostly related to the aluminum exterior. (Hint: When walking atop the roof, DO NOT step upon the aluminum.) And the curved roof construction that tows so well also leads to some compromises in interior space. The interior is more often described as “cozy” than “spacious.” Fortunately, most of our servicing issues have been minor ones. We’ve had the occasional leak, or the fan that stops blowing, or the door latch that fails. We’ve had tire issues. But for the most part, the thing has been reliable. The air-conditioning has always blown cold, the electricity has always come on, and the plumbing has always plumbed. Like all towables, Airstreams lack a motor — so they also lack all of those engine-related maintenance issues. From time to time, people interested in Airstreams... Read more
