Cover story
Attention, readers: We are headed into battle
By Chuck Woodbury
FOUNDER AND PUBLISHER
Google is giving website publishers the heebie jeebies. I’m telling you because you should know. What Google is doing is hinting (strongly) that for a monthly fee it will one day soon provide instant search results based on artificial intelligence. So, you and I will pay Google for the service and from then on when we search for a particular topic, the response will pop right up on Google, courtesy of A.I. No need to visit websites that today would be where we would go for answers. You may have noticed that Google is already experimenting with this, free for now.
Will Google actually do this? My guess? Absolutely!
Once you pay for the new service, if you were to type in “How much do RVs cost?” Google will instantly return the answer based on A.I., rather than list web pages as it does today. This will kill many websites that rely on the giant search engine for their traffic. And that includes most websites about RVing.
It’s sort of like if you operated a retail tourist shop a block off the main highway, and relied on a prominent billboard to alert travelers you were there. Then one day local officials remove the billboard. Suddenly, nobody finds you. Consider what happened to tourist shops along Route 66 when Interstate 40 opened, bypassing them. Most went belly-up.
I envisioned something like this happening many years ago. And that’s why we have built a substantial mailing list and are pushing hard to grow it. Chances are you received an email from us that brought you here today.
Publishers who are aware of what’s happening, some of them panicked, are discussing what they can do to combat Google. The fact is, if a website’s circulation drops, then what they can charge for advertising drops. When it gets to where they cannot deliver enough eyeballs, advertisers leave. The solution: Paywalls and subscriptions, i.e., to read a website, you pay. And yet, as publishers know, attracting readers for free is a whole lot easier than asking them to pay, which requires superior content.
We have asked readers hundreds of times to voluntarily subscribe to RVtravel.com. Only 6 percent of you have done so. (A huge “Thank you” to you in the 6 percent group!) And yet we provide quality information, not just generic filler pumped out by content creators and, increasingly, by artificial intelligence.
You are likely tired of me pitching donations. But, frankly, I don’t believe I have much choice anymore than to convince more of you to help us pay our way. That means, encouraging you to donate. And, like it or not, we need advertising, which I plan to write about soon. I’m aware that our recent tweak has not gone as smoothly as we hoped. We’re working on it.
Never in my four decades of publishing have I seen so much change, and not necessarily good. In my opinion, any publisher who is not paying close attention to what is happening and making plans how to adapt is like a lion tamer taking his eye off the beast.
Mike the Headless Chicken
Changing gears, on a far lighter note: I hope you have time to read my article about an upcoming festival that honors a long-departed but celebrated chicken. Why is the fowl celebrated? The chicken, named Mike, lived for 18 months without a head! Now that’s worth celebrating. Read all about it.

Today’s RV review…
Renegade RV Veracruz 30VRM – a “super” Super C
By Tony Barthel
Today’s RV review is of the 2024 Renegade Veracruz 30VRM Super C. This is an interesting offering on the Ford F550 XLT platform, which means that it’s equipped with Ford’s 6.7L V8 diesel engine and 10-speed automatic. So what, you say? Here’s why I like that.
RV Service Centers and Repairs Report
It’s not just the RV industry; auto industry says “not enough technicians” to get the job done
In this column, we summarize some of your recent emails and comments regarding RV service centers and repairs. This week Nanci Dixon relates your concerns including the ongoing instances of independent RV dealers selling out to larger companies and rates increasing dramatically, and a dissatisfied customer whose RV had so many repair issues and for so long that he had to get an attorney involved to get the matter resolved. And there’s a (lengthy) rave review of an RV dealer that’s so heartwarming it’ll almost make you tear up.

Around the Campfire
RVers share the best RV advice they’ve ever received. What’s yours?
By Gail Marsh
Last week our campfire group talked about the worst RV advice they’d ever received. This week while sitting around the campfire, we considered the opposite as we discussed the best RV advice ever received. See what folks had to say and then chime in with your own response.
RV keyless entry: Which RV keyless door lock should you get?
By Cheri Sicard
Have you ever considered RV keyless entry options? In the video below, Joshua from RV Gear and Far compares the two most popular brands, RVLock and Latch.it. Personally, I found this incredibly helpful. My keyed lock is flimsy and in constant need of tinkering to make it function. All the other locks on the market I have seen don’t look much better. Would RV keyless entry be better? Let’s explore.
Break in your new generator the right way for long service life
By Randall Brink
The small, efficient gasoline generator is a practical necessity for extended RV boondocking or any time spent away from a source of alternating current for energizing appliances and battery charging. In 2022 I switched from a Class A coach with a hefty 7.5 kW Cummins Onan generator to a tiny towable with a single marine deep-cycle battery and no generator. My boondocking plans would require a generator. I wondered what the best way was to break in a new generator so it had a long life. Here’s what I found.
How RVers are preparing (or not) for the Great North American Eclipse
By Gail Marsh
A recent RVtravel.com poll asked readers to chime in about their upcoming plans for the solar eclipse, happening on April 8, 2024. Responders generally fell into three categories: RVers who plan to travel in their RVs to see the eclipse, RVers who are not interested in the eclipse, and RVers who happen to live within the predicted path of the eclipse. Read about the results of the poll and some of our readers’ comments here.

Up your RV maintenance knowledge and join the ultimate diesel motorhome event of 2024
By Roger Stickley
Since 1990, the Ramblin’ Pushers have offered a yearly event that focuses specifically on proper maintenance and safe operation of all classes of diesel motorhomes. The event … [is called a] “Maintenance Session” (MS for short), to distinguish it from more casual, socially oriented RV rallies. Recently the MS has expanded its list of eligible coaches to include all classes of diesel motorhomes, including Class A, B, C and Super C. Read about this worthwhile upcoming event.
SaddleHawk Ranch, an unexpected Harvest Hosts gem for horse lovers in Deming, NM
By Nanci Dixon
SaddleHawk Ranch was such an unexpected Harvest Hosts gem. It is located just east of Deming, New Mexico. We have been Harvest Host members for a couple of years and have not been fully taking advantage of the program, although the ones we have gone to have been excellent. We were so glad we stayed here!
The spider who loved me
Essay by Emily Woodbury
A few days ago I was working on my laptop outside at my backyard picnic table getting this newsletter ready for you. I saw something jumping around out of the corner of my eye. An itsy, bitsy spider was bouncing back and forth from my computer cords to the table. I’ve never seen a jumping spider in person before, but I recognized it immediately from the photos I’ve seen online of the “world’s cutest spiders.” Continue reading about the spider who wanted to be my friend.
Readers’ RVing Mistakes
A beer festival + parking after dark + train tracks = one heck of a wake-up call
In this column, we share some of the not-so-brilliant things we, the RVtravel.com staff, and you, our readers, have done while RVing. This week’s installment from Nanci Dixon includes your lessons learned about the necessity of being fully aware of your surroundings when you park your RV after dark somewhere other than an RV park. Another warning of why it’s important to get out and check that campsite parking spot closely, or else… Also, it’s important to know how much water your gray tank holds and how much water your washer uses for a load of laundry. Just sayin’. Plus, there are two more “don’t trust your GPS” stories, and one important word of advice regarding what type of GPS to use.

Use MORryde X-Brace Stabilizers to prevent your RV from moving or wobbling when parked
By Dustin Simpson
A common concern I hear from my customers is in regards to the movement of their unit when in a parked position. Whether it’s the movement from someone walking inside the unit or from strong winds, there are many consumers who can benefit from a stabilizer. MORryde offers three different options in their X-Brace line of stabilizers.

Favorite lighting choices for camping and RVing
By Gail Marsh
One of the very best parts of camping and RVing is enjoying the nighttime hours. I love it when twilight slowly morphs into dusk. Stars appear and soon darkness envelops our campsite. It’s peaceful and serene. While I really enjoy the darkness, there are times when we all need a little light. Here are some of my favorite lighting choices for camping and RVing.

Travel Destinations
Add RVing on Nevada’s wacky Extraterrestrial Highway to your bucket list
By Cheri Sicard
The sun had no sooner set on Nevada’s remote Extraterrestrial (ET) Highway when the previously silent sky suddenly roared to life with aircraft. Or, more precisely, the sounds of aircraft. Lots of them. The dark and cloudy early-night sky provided no clues as to who or what was creating the din. But the noise continued uninterrupted, with a few window-rattling booms occasionally punctuating the steady drone.
RV Tire Safety
Attention to detail is VERY important when it comes to tire size
By Roger Marble
I got a question from Lee H. on the Facebook Page “RV Tire News, Information”. The information provides an opportunity to show why the details of tire “size” can be critical to making the selection of what tires you need. This example is for a large Class A, but the details can just as easily apply to a 18′ bumper pull on 14″ tires.
Recipe of the Day
Cheesy Bacon Zucchini Boats
by Traci Coleman from Vancouver, WA
These zucchini boats are a creative way to serve summertime’s favorite vegetable. The bacon bread crumb crunch gives the zucchini a nice flavor and texture. They have a nice cheesy, buttery flavor. Super-hearty, they’re a nice summertime dinner.
Readers’ Pet of the Day
“Camping in the dry desert air can be challenging for a girl with hair as soft as Harper’s (8-year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel). She takes it in stride and finds traveling in the RV with Mama to be much preferable to her previous life in a puppy mill.” —Rhonda Brodbeck

Brain Teaser
An old man dies, leaving behind two sons. In his will, he orders his sons to race with their horses, and the one with the slower horse will receive his inheritance. The two sons race, but since they’re both holding their horses back, they go to a wise man and ask him what they should do. After that, the brothers race again — this time at full speed. What did the wise man tell them?
(Answer below.)
Do you have a brain teaser you think we should use? Send it to us here.
Trivia
Vocal pauses like “um” and “uh” are known as speech disfluencies. Every recorded language ever has some variation of these “filler” words. Americans usually say “um” or “uh,” while the British say “er” or “erm” and the Spanish say “ehhh.”
Sunday funny
Did you miss last week’s RV Travel?
Brain teaser answer:
To switch horses. After they switch horses, whoever wins the race will get the inheritance because they still technically own the losing (i.e., slower) horse.

Good morning Chuck,
I think it is a crying shame that only 6% of your readers are actually contributing to receiving the plethora of RVing information that RV Travel.com provides. I recently increased my annual donation and will increase my contribution again, if it will mean the difference between you remaining an excellent source of RV information and you going under! So I implore all of you that read this fine publication to not allow rv travel to perish due to Googles greed! A mere $25.00 annually from each one of you would do more than I think you even realize to help the situation. That is “LESS” than $0.07 per Day! Surely, you can spare 7 cents per day. Chuck, we are with you.
I have to admit, compared to some of the other online blog/magazine networks, RVTravel does have a LOT less redundancy. I’m subscribed to several newsletters, and (I assume to maximize the value they paid writers) I see their stories repeated across their brands, constantly.
Just the fact that you are able to “interact” with writers and Technicians on here, to troubleshoot problems that you experience from day to day while owning an RV, is “invaluable”! It is basically free advice that you would pay $150.00 an hour for at an RV Dealership, or an RV Repair Shop! And yet there are still complaints? I just don’t get it! Have a great day Will!
In order to keep me off the computer all day long, I’ve cut down my RV sites and newsletters to ONE. RVTravel. No need to plow through other sites and waste my time. I’ve pared down all my other topical sites as well. I found myself logging onto my computer about 4:30 am and not being able to pry myself away before 9-10 am! Talk about frittering away half the day! I don’t even remember a time without computers anymore! Sad situation!
Thank you very much, Tommy, Ed and Will. We appreciate all of your kind words and, as always, we appreciate YOU! 🤗🤗🤗 (One for each of you, so you don’t have to share.😉) Have a great day. 😀 –Diane
I agree with Ed D. Come on people, DONATE.
I’m an active RVer and thought $25/month was more fair for the value. What % of the cost of being an active RVer is $25/month?
If you are able to do $25.00 a month, by all means do. But there are Thousands of readers that do not contribute at all. If each one of them contributed at least $25.00 per year, even that would seriously turn the tide and possibly allow the site to do away with advertising.
Chuck are you (rvtravel) not also changing. Four decades is a long time and like everything else, change is constant. Donations, donations, donations. Frankly it’s sounds like Memorex, remember them? Maybe a reason why only 6% of your readers have donated. Some people tip, some don’t. Same goes for donating. Also, aren’t you using a lot more AI, as with the AI generated illustrations? Just saying Chuck, props to your website but…
The real issue IMHO is Google being in an even greater position to tell everyone what to do, think and how much to pay to get the information to do the first 2 things. They want to “control” the “why” of our lives for their own “GREED”.
And yes, I do donate.
Gil, everything in life changes. Some, more than others! But word for word, RV Travel is the best all-around RVing informational website around. Everyone has a right to their own “opinion” but “no one” has a right to be wrong in their facts. I don’t see where your rant above has any relevance on what this website is all about! I’ll wager that “YOU” are NOT a contributor! The complainers are always the ones to not help the situation and make it better! All they do is complain, complain, complain! You know……Like Memorex! Remember them Gil? Just saying! Gil, props to your opinion but….
Perhaps Chuck should make one more change, and block people that do not contribute but complain incessantly about free “stuff”.
Agreed in full!
Oh, yes, Gil. We’re changing. And, yes, “donate, donate, donate.” I am aware of that. But, honestly, I just do not know what is ahead for Mom and Pop websites like mine, and I know that the biggest challenges in my decades of publishing are coming soon. I realize I have sounded like a broken record recently, but I ask myself “Is sounding like a broken record” a better option than “going out of business by being timid about asking”? Now in my 70s, I think about my daughter’s future with the business. She loves publishing, and all that goes with it. But I cannot imagine the monumental challenges she will face in the next decade. My main job is to keep educating her and keep the business afloat.
Fight the good fight as you continue to do Chuck. The next decade and beyond will be the battle of Emily’s generation for the next one and I am confident that the tools of integrity you have so obviously instilled in her over a lifetime will be the weapons which are needed most for the continuation of a free press in a free nation. It is only with reverance for constitutional purity that we as free people will win the day and it succeeds or fails with the First Amendment.
I’ve stopped using Google and Chrome. I switched to Brave Browser and Duck Duck Go for search. The search isn’t quite as good, but it is good enough. I was fed up with Google not liking my VPN usage. I think Google is just too invasive, and there should be supported competition.
I asked my “computer guru” about using Duck Duck Go. He said not that much security so I went back to Edge.
I have to wonder how many of the people complaining about the ads donate. I’d be willing to bet a LOT of them don’t . So many people want something for nothing ,and it is not just the young people.
I don’t know how other people use Google search, but I’m aware that the first results they show are the “sponsored” results, so if you’re looking for less biased information, you always have to scroll past the first section. Then, when I’m looking for something, I see many results farther down that are “sort of” what I’m looking for. I’ll generally check several of the suggested sites before I find one that is close to what I want. May even have to check multiple pages of results. This is especially important if I want to find an actual article and not a You Tube blogger video. Even the “how to” videos are not all of equal quality, so it’s useful to check out more than one (continued…)
(continued from above ) of those. AI isn’t really intelligent, but it’s good at finding matching patterns in large data bases and may or may not return what you really want to see. I’m not so sure that it’s going to hurt RV Travel as much as you’re concerned about. I guess we’ll just have to see how people really behave when this Google AI process becomes truly active.
Hello Diane. I see you edited my post below. Did I say something offensive that I was not aware of? I hope not!
Good morning, Ed. No, no problem. It was a minor typo–I think you left a letter off a word. I corrected it. (Sometimes I just can’t help myself.😅) Can’t even remember what it was now, but that was all. Thanks for checking. Have a great day!🤗 –Diane
You too Diane.
Thank you, Ed. I’m planning on it. So far, so good.👍 –Diane
I have been trying to donate on your donate page by check, as I have for the last few years. I click on the contribute by check and it goes to an error message. I did send you an email, but haven’t received a response. Am I doing something wrong, or is something else going on?
Good morning, Dawn. I don’t think you’re doing anything wrong. There was another comment about this issue, so I’m sure it’s on our end. I’ve emailed your and the other comment to the powers that be, i.e., the ones who would know how to fix that issue. (I have nothing to do with donations or that page, so don’t know how.) Hopefully, they’ll get it up and running again soon. Have a great day. 😀 –Diane at RVtravel.com
Hi, Dawn. Chuck just sent me this link for those who want to donate by check: https://www.rvtravel.com/checkform2/ It is temporary, but our IT dude, Kim, is working on the solution on the donate page. But this works in the meantime. Thank you very much! 😀 –Diane at RVtravel.com
I just heard from Kim and he reports that the issue with the check option on the Donate page is now fixed. Thank you. 😀 –Diane
The problem will be that Google will only show Google’s info. There could loads of other sources that have the info you are looking for, but Google will censor them out.
You will have to pay Google for the search and the vendors will have to pay Google for the privilege to be listed in the search.
Regarding today’s Poll question… If you are not sure if you have allergies, then you certainly are not “suffering” them. So your answer should be ‘no’. 😉
Or if you have them all the time maybe it’s every season
That’s a lot of suffering, Joe. 😵💫😂
On GOOGLE and it’s ever increasing power to disseminate false facts and tainted information, it is happening and will continue to happen. The Section 230 protections that they and others have enjoyed must end.
What was billed as the “information super highway” has turned into a disinformation superhighway. The only message, information and side of the story that we will soon get is the one that our tech overlords push on us.
No greater threat to our way of life and our freedoms exists. It makes no difference if you are on the right, the left or in the middle. If Google says something so, AI generated or not, any opposing point of view will be silenced.
A.I. only learns from what it is taught. We are all doomed!
And it only disseminates what it is programmed to disseminate. It only allows ideas and opinions that it is programmed to allow.
That is what makes these TECH companies publishers, not simply utilities any longer. AT&T doesn’t regulate what I discuss on the phone, Verizon doesn’t scrutinize my texts and Alexander Graham Bell didn’t invent the phone so Gov’t could monitor citizen’s thoughts.
230 was implemented to protect Big Tech as a utility is. Now they monitor and limit your speech.
Safe travels Michael Noble, cheers.
Best way to beat Google is to drop their browser and switch to ‘Duck Duck Go’. Ads, sure, but DDG does not track your movements. DDG is avaialble for Windows, Mac, IOS and Android. 👍👍👍

I was shocked to read that only 6% of your readers contribute to your long term survival. This as they drive around in the quarter million dollar+ RVs. Truly a sign of the times we live in.
Wow, this is going to kill most websites and contribute further to the dumbing-down of society because most people will accept automated answers to searches and not delve any deeper. This is just another example of how Big Tech includes too many monopolies that should be regulated as such. But I doubt that today’s Congressional leaders have the wisdom or the courage to do anything about it, just as they failed to pursue regulations over A.I. when the industry’s own A.I. execs went to Congress and appealed to them to do so.
I am a subscriber. Fight the good fight, Chuck.
Thursday, must be DFW in August.
We are not full timers, and my husband owns a company that requires him to go to the office occasionally. We have been RVing for 24 years for vacations. I tend to pass through most of the information because it does pertain to our readings. I like seeing the dog pictures and looking at the different RVs on the site.
I have been off FB for 8 years thank GOD, and not on any social media. It would be nice to see in this newsletter the readers could post about RV parks/ resorts that the viewers have visited, and give updated ideas on dining , shopping instead of asking a silly question in the result pool.
Thank you, Emily and Diane! 🙂 Harper is a cute dog. 🙂 Ha! I got the brain teaser right! But wrong the previous time you ran it (several months ago?). 🙂 I don’t know how much it will help, but I installed DuckDuckGo as my search engine for Chrome (my cell phone internet browsing software/application). Any suggestions are welcome! 🙂 Meanwhile, thanks again and safe travels! 🙂
It is hard for me to believe a mere 6% of our readers contribute even one thin dime to this really wonderful newsletter! C’mom cheapos! How about a dollar a month?
👍👍
You tell ’em, Tommy! Thanks!👍 Take care.🤗 –Diane
