Okay, this is a weird one. The Amish pose a compelling conundrum for a travel blog. We travel types are motivated to explore. Not unlike Captain Kirk, we seek out new life and new civilizations. Most of us embrace modern technology along the way (yes, you can have my...

It takes all kinds to make the Airstream / RV camping world go ’round. Over the course of our travels, we’ve met the gamut. From young families with kids, to retired married couples, to solo travelers. Some folks just camp on weekends. Others go at it full...

As we haul our Airstream throughout North America, we often spotlight camping destinations along the way. But how about the PEOPLE we meet? Cities and parks are nice and all, but people are unforgettable. RV campers are generally a warm and friendly lot. We were...

As I’ve written before, on LongLongHoneymoon.com we’re committed to documenting the RV lifestyle — the good, the bad, and the ugly. So here’s a facet of RV travel we’ve never previously addressed. I suppose we could classify this job as...

Alumapalooza is a gathering of Airstream enthusiasts. It’s unique because it takes place on factory property in Jackson Center, Ohio. We camp right behind the building where our Airstream was built. Camping at Airstream has many upsides. While at the factory, we...

Pressure washing — an addictive activity? It’s definitely dangerous, as you see in the video. But in addition to splitting human skin, will it split aluminum seams? Overall, my approach is moderation in all things, including moderation. We have owned our...

For those of you who think I don’t know jack about RV repair, I finally have a video to prove you wrong. In the past you’ve heard me bemoan the fragility of our power jack. The sacrificial part in question is a little nylon gear. This gear works fine for...

After we bought our RV, we quickly realized that electricity is quite useful. Unless you like ice-cold coffee, blank TV screens, and sweltering summer heat, you’ll want the ability to camp with substantial amounts of the stuff on hand. But since one can’t purchase...

One of the great upsides of Airstream ownership, in my opinion, is the product’s longevity. Airstreams are not disposable. Over 70% of all Airstream travel trailers ever built (going back to the 1930s) are still in use today. So if you are a “buy and...

Here in America, we like to toss around the word “freedom” a lot. We supposedly live in “the land of the free.” In reality, we live in the land of the taxed and regulated — but that’s not such a catchy phrase. Case in point: Maryland has BANNED ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION in...

Hello, blog! Yes, I’m aware that’s a strange way to address one’s blog. But is it really any more bizarre than Good Morning America? And does anyone remember that old McLean Stevenson sit-com called Hello, Larry? Not the catchiest TV jingle, but hey...
