Please add your favorite websites that you think would be helpful to newbies and veteran FTF's ~>I am sure this may have been done already, but I thought in case it hasn't or it's been awhile, I would start another one ;)
I'll start!
Besides this forum, here are a few sites that I have found, that I think are great!
1. FOTR
http://www.familiesontheroad.com/
2. Roadschooling - Families Homeschooling on the Road
Seems we can't eat at a restaurant if they're not listed near the top. And if there's not a picture of the front of the restaurant guess who has to add it...it's not me (I feel like the Health Inspector).
I will say the food has been good.

If we are going to mention finding restaurants, our favorite is http://www.urbanspoon.com/. Less of the angst ridden crowd, less shill reviews and you can't pay them to hide bad reviews. The mobile app is more useful than TripAdvisor or Yelp's, since it goes by distance or rating, instead of just rating. I find that in different areas one of the review sites will have more places listed than the others. It is best to check them all. I have seen an area with 100 restaurants only have 20 rated on one of the sites, but that gets hidden if they just show you the ones with ratings.

This has lots for sale and lots for rent. We found the place we stayed last winter on it and were very satisfied.
Believe it or not, many people who visit this forum have no idea about our website.
http://www.rv-dreams.com/
www.rvmobileinternet.com - resource center for keeping up with mobile internet options (disclosure, we run this one).
www.escapees.com - great organization for everything from advocacy, education to domicile support.
www.fulltimefamilies.com - another group of full time families
Make the RV-Dreams banner at the top clickable to the website home page.....that will help.
Thanks :) We've moved all the mobile internet content to the new site however. But we do have some useful stuff on the personal blog too.
(RVillage was already mentioned in the thread, so didn't want to repeat it. :) )
countrystudies.us/united-states/weather/ USA weather averages
www.tripadvisor.com/ great for finding things to do in an area
www.reserveamerica.com/ Make reservations at state parks
I'll add Jack Mayer's site. http://www.jackdanmayer.com
Lots of worthwhile info and a great resource.
