By Chuck Woodbury Nevermind what I wrote last week about hitting the road, roaming like a gypsy. Yes, I am now on the road. But I have no dog along and there's no leisurely roaming (yet). Last weekend, shortly after this newsletter was posted, I learned that finally, after nearly two years, my late-parents' home in Grass Valley, California has sold. So, on Thursday, my daughter and I left Edmonds (Wash.) in my motorhome on the two-day drive to the small Sierra foothills community near Sacramento.
The carefree RV road trip I had planned is on hold while I clear out the house and tend to legal matters. Emily will be with me until Sunday evening when she will fly back to Edmonds. She wanted one last look at the house -- filled with many wonderful memories of "Grandma and Grandpa." And I think she was also looking for an excuse to get away in the RV, if only for a couple of days.
I am thrilled to be rid of the responsibility (as is my sister) of being an absentee homeowner. But I am also sad to say good bye to the home where I spent my late teen years, and then visited often in the decades since. Going "home" lately has been bittersweet -- happy to be in the familiar place, but emotionally stressful to be there without my parents. Soon, with the house gone, a chapter in my life ends.
I hope you enjoy this issue.

We have moved our RV Travel Forum to a new home on the Internet. The old one was under constant attack by spammers. Our administrator Adrienne Kristine was spending a good part of each day battling these slimy creatures. The thousands of existing postings will remain, but no new ones will be permitted. The new forum is at RVtravelForum.com. Members of the old forum will need to re-register (sorry, but there was no other way), which is a simple process. Will you please join in?

Be careful about weight when choosing an RV tow vehicle
If you already own a tow vehicle, you need to find a trailer that is within the weight range of its tow limits. It can be extremely frustrating to find the perfect travel trailer or fifth wheel and then be told that your vehicle can't tow it. It can be worse if a sales person at a disreputable RV dealer wrongly informs you that you can tow it! This happens every day, and this is why you need to be armed with the right information before you buy. Read more.

Carbon monoxide gas is invisible, odorless and deadly. It's produced when any fuel is burned. This includes gasoline, propane, natural gas, wood and coal.

Some folks allow fears of danger to hold them back from taking up the full-time lifestyle. Their "boogyman" may be that someone will break in and harm them while living in their RV. But think about it: How likely is it that someone could break into your RV without you being aware of it, when compared to a house "on a foundation?" The size and construction of a stick-built home makes it a lot more desirable to a burglar. RVs, on the other hand, are harder to break into by their very design. And since many RVers have the reputation of carrying weapons, RVs are not particularly desirable targets. A would-be thief doesn't have a clue whether you're armed to the teeth or not. A good rule is to exercise good judgement. If a situation looks "kinky" or you're just not comfortable, move along. Russ De Maris is a contributor to FulltimeRVer.com. Big Savings on

Boondocking Tip By Bob Difley To conserve power use hand operated devices rather than electrical ones. Use a broom instead of vacuum cleaner or a spoon over an electric blender. Hand-knead bread instead of using an electric bread maker. Also: Wake with the sun and go to bed with the sunset to save on electric lights that deplete batteries. Read instead of watching TV, keep your porch light off, and use a flashlight at night instead of 12-volt night lights. Bob Difley is the

Some historians believe that Lyman Gilmore, Jr., of Grass Valley, Calif., flew a powered aircraft before the Wright Brothers. Gilmore claimed he flew a self-built steam-powered airplane on May 15, 1902. But proof of his accomplishment was lost in a 1935 hangar fire. Gilmore was known as an eccentric who vowed to never cut his hair or beard and who wore a trench coat even in the summer heat. On March 15, 1907, he opened the first-ever commercial airport, now the site of Lyman Gilmore elementary school in Grass Valley. DVD: Travel Trailer/Fifth
