One of the best magazines has always been National Geographic (http://goo.gl/rLhnAJ). In an era when many magazines are going the way of the dodo, National Geographic is still going strong – because it delivers quality, as it has done since 1888 (right about the time...

Most of us who tow our RVs use burly pickup trucks for the task. In our case, we have a Ford F250 diesel we call SEEMORE. Sadly, our truck came with only one keyless remote. Some dealerships want more than $100 for these remotes. So I’d rather pay $2.82 for this...

DEAL: Anyone in the market for a nice generator should check out the Yamaha EF2000is (http://goo.gl/Ao1urV), which is currently on sale $100 off. If I was buying a generator, I’d buy it online for a significant savings. The lack of sales tax (in most states) is...

Recently I was discussing winter storage with an RV owning friend of mine. “We don’t winterize our RV,” he explained. “Instead we keep a DeLonghi Safeheat radiator (http://goo.gl/919ogm) running during our coldest nights. It helps to keep the pipes and tanks...

When I was a child, I knew a little boy who was a bit of a troublemaker. Let’s call him, “Fred.” Oh, little Fred wasn’t too much of a rapscallion. We’re talking about an elementary school kid here. But he was naughty. He had a knack for sneaky...

We’ve taken our Airstream travel trailer to 49 states, camping in a wide variety of locations. We are often asked the question: “What’s your favorite campground?” Good question! Tough question. That’s kind of like asking Wilt Chamberlain to choose a...

You asked for it. You DEMANDED it. (Well, some of you, anyway – you know who you are.) “BRING BACK THE T-SHIRTS!” you exclaimed rather rudely in all caps. Your insistent cry for satisfaction became our command. Now, after some 17 months of diligent (and mostly...
