April 28, 2017April 28, 2017 RV Staff

Here’s a question from a reader of RVtravel.com about boondocking. Hi Bob, Whenever we get into discussions with other RVers about boondocking, I find that we seem to be making more excuses for not trying it than reasons to give it a go. I think we need to revise the way we think about boondocking. What do you suggest? —Mike... Read More

Adidas stylish Sport sunglasses prevent eye damage

April 27, 2017April 28, 2017 Bob

By Bob Difley We RVers spend a lot of time in – or looking into – bright sunny landscapes, like campgrounds, when boondocking, hiking and biking, and while on the road touring. Most people know the sun’s rays are bad for our skin. But did you know they’re just as bad for our eyes? “Sunglasses are a great fashion... Read More

April 26, 2017December 8, 2017 Russ De Maris

By Bob Difley Be on the lookout for Fish and Wildlife refuges, both national and state, for good boondocking and cheap camping opportunities. When there is no hunting season active, these refuges can be deserted. Though policies vary with each state, generally you can camp either free or very cheap. Some refuges can be quite scenic, on ponds maintained... Read More

Hikers: Do your feet hurt? Try this solution

April 20, 2017April 20, 2017 Bob

By Bob Difley I suppose you could say there are two types of RVers, one that sits in front of the TV most of the day, and the other who is out exploring, hiking, bird and wildlife watching, and stalking the wild asparagus (remember Euell Gibbons’ book?). My wife Lynn and I fall into the latter category and in... Read More

Boondocking: Shake, rattle and roll

April 20, 2017August 16, 2017 Bob

Here’s a question from a reader of RVtravel.com about boondocking. Dear Bob, I’ve just begun boondocking and have traveled down some bumpy dirt roads looking for boondocking campsites, but it occurred to me that my motorhome is taking more of a beating than just driving on highways. Are there any critical problems that this kind of use could cause that I... Read More

Why do RVers boondock?

April 14, 2017April 14, 2017 RV Staff

Here’s a question from a reader of RVtravel.com about boondocking. Dear Bob, I know that a lot of snowbirds boondock in the deserts of the Southwest, but I cannot figure out why they would want to camp without the convenience of campground hookups. Can you explain why? —Art & Nancy Answer. Here are the pluses, Art and Nancy, in the... Read More

RVer attractions: Low advertising budget equals low costs

April 14, 2017April 14, 2017 Russ De Maris

By Bob Difley Many RVers focus on the destination and forget the trip. Think of all the great attractions you pass when you have the blinders on barreling down the interstate. Many of these attractions, whether scenic, historic, or of unique interest, are free, and since they would therefore not have big advertising budgets, like large commercial attractions, you can...

Let there be light – where you want it

April 13, 2017April 8, 2017 Bob

By Bob Difley I like flashlights. All kinds. From the tiny keychain type to the super-powerful beam multi-LED lights. I find that if I have a flashlight handy, I will use it far more often than if I had to go open a drawer or cabinet, then search through it until I found it, then return to where I... Read More
