With Chuck Woodbury
I am headed to Iceland late this summer. For one
glorious week I will tour the island in a rented RV, following the country's 831-mile ring road, Highway 1. I will be wrapping up a two week trip in
England before flying to Reykjavik to pick up my
campervan.
Iceland covers 39,768 square miles --
about the same as Kentucky. There are about 7,500 miles of roads, two
thirds of which are dirt or gravel. The two-lane ring road is almost
entirely paved. About 220,000 of the country's 320,000 people live in
the capital of Reykjavik, leaving very few people elsewhere. But lucky for
travelers with RVs, there are many campgrounds: the Icelandic people, it
seems, love to camp.
Rather than go into a lot of detail
here, you can click to a website I have set up about my trip and about RVing in
Iceland in general. You can see a map of my route, watch a video of the
small RV I'll be traveling with and learn much more about this little
known country and RVing destination.
I will update
RViceland.com in
the months ahead. During my trip I will post daily along with short
videos. A good way to keep up with me once I'm there will be at the
RVtravel.com Facebook page. With any luck I
will be able to do a live webcast.
Speaking of live webcasts. . . I
will host one next Saturday, May 21 at 9 a.m. (Pacific). Please join me:
I'll talk more about my trip to Iceland and will show some photos. The
link to the webcast will be in next week's issue of this
newsletter. If you sign up at ustream.tv first, we can then chat during the webcast.

* * * A lot of
response to my idea of $10 campsites last week
I
heard from many of you after I suggested in last week's issue that RV parks offer
$10 bare bones campsites aimed specifically at RVers who need a place to
stay for one night of sleep. I suggested that perhaps if the RV parks
would do it they would attract some RVers who refuse to pay $30 or $40 a
night just to sleep who instead opt for a Wal-Mart parking lot. You can
read what I wrote here. If this idea
were to gain momentum, I would be happy to create and publicize an
online directory of RV parks that offered such a service. I, for one,
would stop often at these campgrounds. I will write more about this in the next couple of weeks. Be sure to keep up
with RVtravel.com and me, too, at Facebook.

When is the best time
to measure tire pressure?
Is it best to measure when tires are cold? Okay, what exactly does "cold" mean? And did you know that temperature will affect the pressure in your tires? Can you guess how much the pressure in your tires will change with a 10 degree change in the air temperature? Learn the answer to these questions here.

Coping with RV circuit breaker
problems
Like home appliances, we sometimes think
that RV components talk to each other. They conspire to create problems
all at the same time. Russ and Tina De Maris ran into two separate
incidents of RVers with circuit breaker issues within two weeks of each
other. Since they seldom act up, when a breaker does "go gunnybag" it
can be a bit of a mystery for RVers. Here is a
short look into the world of these voltage
interrupters. Parallel

holding tanks: Use treatments?
"I stink, therefore
I am," says a philosopher that lives under my RV. He is a rather
nondescript fellow, about six feet tall, four feet wide, and a thin six
inches thick. He seems to prefer a dark suit, in fact, every time you
lay eyes on him, he's laying about, clad in the black skin of plastic
suited to folks of his kind. Although he is never invited inside, from
time to time he does -- in an awful way -- make his presence known. He
is a windy fellow, and many of my associates simply state, "He's full of
it." And so he is, your black water holding tank. Read

Learn
more Are rising fuel prices
about to
break? Some RVers will keep on traveling no
matter how high the price of gas goes. They may not travel as far as in
the past, nor certainly not as far as they'd like. But a good number of
RVers have said they just can't swear off RV travel, even with fuel
prices as nasty as they are. Russ De Maris has some
thoughts about high gas prices and RVing.
Stupid tourists! Oh, it takes all kinds! Rangers at Yellowstone were horrified last week after someone from halfway across the country watching the Old Faithful geyser webcam spotted a group of people standing right at the cone of the geyser. It turns out it was a tour group of 30 people, just casually taking pictures -- far closer to the geyser than what is permitted. Read more.
Stop your shower head from dribbling When you shut water off at the shower head and the faucet valves remain open, contaminated water could seep back into your fresh water system. Most RV manuals say this dribbling is "normal" and means the unit is working properly. Do the water saver shower-heads used in regular house bathrooms dribble? They do not, so why do we need a dribbling shower in our RV wasting precious hot water? Here's how to get rid of the dribble.

New tires fail after three days use Dear Gary,
We have a Keystone Laredo which came with Mission tires. Within three days we had two tires fail. One had a bubble and the other blew out five miles from home while heading to the mountains. It did damage to the trailer. Tireco, (the parent company), will not cover the damage. They say the tire that blew had impact/road hazard damage. I don't believe this at all. We had 50 percent of the tires go bad on this RV in three days. They did pay for the bubbled tire. I see on the web that there are numerous complaints regarding these tires. Can you give me information on these tires, or what recourse we have? --Louise C., (Kernersville, NC) Read

traveling full-time in our RV for a dozen years. Now that I have
retired, my wife and I have been on the road for just less than a year
and I am a bit disillusioned. We both have many interests, love to
travel, get along fine in a confined space, enjoy life and the many
friendly people we meet. So, what's wrong with me? Why do I feel I'm

Boondocking tips with Bob Difley
Check around for gray water dumping facilities When you arrive at no hook-up campgrounds, like the forest service, Corps of Engineers, state parks or BLM, walk through the campground or ask the host if they have gray water dumping facilities. Often these are no more than a pipe set flush with the ground surrounded by a shallow concrete basin. Typically there may be several scattered around the campground, usually adjacent to a drinking water source. If you find one, use it rather than adding your gray water (which you collect in a plastic tub) from dish washing and rinsing, teeth brushing, hand washing, and pasta cooking to your waste tanks.

What is an RV tow dolly? A tow dolly is a two wheeled trailer used to transport the vehicle you are towing with the drive wheels off of the ground. Tow dollies are a good choice when the vehicle you are towing cannot be towed with all four wheels down or if the vehicle would require expensive modifications to tow with all four wheels down.
