RV Dumping: The Unfortunate Learning Curve
Even as an RV newbie, I was well aware of the fact that dumping was one of those things you don’t get wrong. The unfortunate consequences of such failure could (and did end up being…well lets just say we can’t use that term). This task was delegated to me by my wife. She has handled most of the RV maintenance, but somehow, this task was mine to do. I thought about complaining about getting all... [Read more]
A Shoreline Away from Water? RV Vocabulary Challenges
Owning your first RV has a lot of challenges. One of which is the whole set of new vocabulary words that come with it. I was in for a rude awaking this week as I took my motorhome into the repair shop for the first time. As expected, the mechanic came back with a litany of repairs. He spoke with a worry so great it made it sound like my RV was on fire and the only way to put it out was throwing thousands... [Read more]

There are things I learned about my RV the hard way and one in particular had to do with those bay doors. When I first heard the term, my mind immediately got the metaphor. They are huge and open so large that you could drop a bomb out of them. It could also be because they are bigger than your average fresh water bay. The bays on an RV are so large, in fact, they can fit just about anything from... [Read more]

I looked forward to a lot of fun and a chance to cool off from... [Read more]
Nesting an RV: The Unexpected Expenses of Buying an RV
One of the benefits of working for Good Sam is the wonderful discounts we receive. Somehow, I used this as a strange justification to purchase a used RV. It stretched the limits of my savings, but I figured after the initial investment it wouldn’t cost much more. You can tell by that line that despite working for an RV company, I’m an RV Newbie. What happened next can only be described... [Read more]
Mom, Where Do RV’s Come From?
RVs come in all shapes and sizes. So it would make sense that they come from a lot of different places, too. That’s only partially true. While RVs are made all over the U.S., one particular county lays claim to being the capital of of RV creation: Elkhart County, Indiana. The “Hollywood” of the RV industry, Elkhart makes between 50-60% of all recreational vehicles in the United States each year.... [Read more]
