2020-10-19
On: October 19, 2020

After three years of RVing in a 2004 Class A motorhome, we’ve learned a lot about making RV campground reservations, emptying our tanks, conserving electricity and propane, and doing many of our own repairs. We’ve also learned to go with the flow without freaking out (at least not for too long!) when Plan A doesn’t work out for one reason or another. Jeff has pulled all that learning together for you in a timely new book called “The Complete Guide to Owning and Enjoying an RV.” In Section One, you’ll find chapters that explain the functioning of the electrical, septic, and fresh-water systems; lists ofRead More →

Top 5 Tips for Visiting Zion National Park

2020-04-18
On: April 18, 2020

Zion National Park is one of the most visited national parks in the United States, and for very good reason. It is home to some of the most beautiful scenery, majestic mountains, fascinating wildlife, and natural wonders you’re ever likely to find in one reasonably accessible place. We spent three days camping in and exploring Zion, and here are some of our best tips to get the most out of your visit: 1. Camp inside of the park. If at all possible, reserve a campsite at one of Zion’s two campgrounds (Watchman Campground has full hook-ups, while South campground is primitive), or rent a roomRead More →
