But as with much in life, until you do it is when you learn a bit more. To those planning, perhaps some insight, to those who have been living t...

But I tried it out with my new (to me) motorhome on the interstate here in central Kansas. So there's not really big hills or anything. But I found that after it acc...

What's the one thing you wish you had in your RV?
(Preview)
My post on what you can't live without gave me lots of good ideas. So I thought I would flip the question around - What is the one thing you wish you had in your RV? Besides it's been too quiet around here for a couple of days.

So, assembled congregation, what music motivated you to put your foot in it?

First of all, you don't get decent mileage so I'd suggest lead-footin' it in the TOAD. But even with that, what gets you down the road? With me it's old-time rock and roll. Seger. Skynyrd. The Who. Stones, Delbert, Lee Roy, Kentucky Headhunters, Waylon, Willie, Tom Petty, many others. Kind of appropr...
