Recently, someone asked us to name a few favorite camping locales we’ve discovered on The Long, Long Honeymoon. I’m partial to remote, rural, dry camping sites out West, in obscure places far removed from civilization. But my wife has different tastes. Her favorite is...

One of the best upsides to RV ownership, as we’ve discussed, is the ability to haul around your own hotel room. It’s even better when you park it right next door to a major community event. That’s just what we did in Albuquerque, New Mexico, when we...

How valuable was this camping experience? We’ve been told that a half acre of land on the Las Vegas Strip recently sold for $47 million. And yet, here’s a massive swath of such land dedicated to a full hookup RV campground. So I guess our little campsite...

Being travel enthusiasts, my wife and I have stayed everywhere from flea-infested hostels, to skanky motels, to cozy bed & breakfasts, to five-star resorts. I’d like to think we’ve learned something about hotels, and how they compare vis-a-vis RVs. So...

They say that over 70% of all Airstreams ever built are still on the road. When you consider that the company is almost 80 years old, that’s really a stunning number. Of course, we’ve seen a few that have been converted into businesses. (We documented a...

Traveling to historic places is obviously good for the mind. Nothing enhances one’s understanding of history like viewing what’s left of it. But it’s also good for the soul. There’s something both sobering and magical about being amongst sites that were occupied by...

We’ve done our fair share of “overnight parking” on this trip. It’s free, it’s convenient, and there’s no check-out time. But unless you like acres of asphalt, the ambiance is lacking. Wal-Mart is the undisputed King of Overnight...

Okay, so it finally happened to us. We managed to lock ourselves out of our Airstream. “How did this happen,” you ask? (And yes, I can hear you snickering.) It was easy! On an Airstream there are two door locks. One of these is a deadbolt-style lock. We use it on a...

As you shall soon see, I’m not much of a photographer. My mental bandwidth is usually occupied by video production. It’s tough to snap photos when you are juggling three HD video cameras, assorted microphones, tripods, and the like. However, from time to...

Do you believe in miracles? Sometimes in our RV travels, we come across things that cannot be easily explained. That was the case a few weeks ago in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where we explored the Loretto Chapel and its “miraculous staircase.” As you’ll see in the video,...

America is replete with privately owned RV parks. Some of these parks have been in operation for decades. The best deliver not only a pleasant camping environment, but also a sense of history. It’s more than a good night’s rest. It’s a cultural...
