What could be more convenient when you get up a few times during the night (as many older guys need to do) than a light that comes on when you throw that first leg out of bed?

Portable grill takes practically no storage space

April 9, 2016April 9, 2016 RV Staff

By Eric Brotman RVtravel.com I’ve had portable grills in the past, ones that used small propane canisters to supply fuel for the fire. Canisters have a good safety record, but I always felt a little uneasy around them. If they became hot in storage, if they were flawed in their manufacture, if a child found one and played with it...

April 9, 2016April 9, 2016 RV Staff

Let’s face it. Most RVs do not have as much space as we’d like. However, we make trade-offs since who wants to maneuver a 70-foot motorhome around just to get more room? Confined RV spaces that particularly come to mind include the bathroom, and especially the shower, where we often don’t have enough room to even turn around without bumping... Read More

By Chuck Woodbury RVtravel.com I suspect that headline grabbed you. It sounds ridiculous! But it’s true. It’s about a device called the Power Pot, which for gadget freaks like me is just about the coolest camping accessory to appear in a long time.

There’s more to “RV retirement” than just a lawn chair

April 9, 2016June 8, 2016 RV Staff

By Bob Difley This is the decade when baby boomers start retiring, taking to the highways in search of the “real America,” exploring our national parks, and boondocking in our national forests and in the southwestern deserts.
