Doves love Cardinals

Does this dove think she's a cardinal? Or is it a wild case of RV miscegenation? RV owners Larry and Teddy Page "entertained" this little gal for several days in Nevada. In an attempt to discourage her they removed her nest each day. She faithfully rebuilt it on the ladder until they finally convinced her their rig wasn't a good home by placing the latest version in a nearby tree. At least it can be said that they didn't do it for a lark.

Patriotic little trailer serves up free coffee

In Oregon, along I-5, motorists can get a cup of free coffee at most rest areas. In this one just outside Albany, the "coffee house" is a very patriotic little trailer. Even though the coffee is free, most people leave a donation, and some grab a cookie or two as well. The coffee is free at Washington state rest areas along I-5. But down south, in California, you'll need to find a restaurant. No free coffee at rest areas there.

Truck camper? Well, maybe technically speaking. . .

You've probably heard stories that some snooty RV parks won't let folks camp with old or crummy looking rigs. We think whoever owns this homemade RV will probably not be too welcomed at those places. But, really, from the long grass growing underneath this one-of-a-kind rig, it doesn't appear it's about to go anywhere, anyway.

Long RV has two balconies!

Pretty fancy, eh? Not one, but two balconies! David Barker of Mirande, France, snapped a quick photo of this very unusual RV near his home. In a country where most RVs are small, this one must really stand out. David sent the photo after reading in RVtravel.com about a new motorhome from Country Coach that also features a balcony, although quite a bit more high tech than this one.
