A tribute to an RV park friend
We came across this tribute to the late Lyle Klostermeyer on the website of the Wine Country RV Park in Prosser, Washington, where Lyle was a longtime resident. We thought manager Louann Rockney’s heartfelt message would brighten your day!
By Louann Rockney
MANAGER, WINE COUNTRY RV PARK
If you would have told me 8 years ago that Lyle Klostermeyer would become such a big part of my life and steal my heart I would have said you were crazy! But here I am heartbroken that he is gone.

I met Lyle in 2013. He would barely speak to me. He had this gruff exterior that I was determined to break through. It took a while but I did it! People would ask if he was my dad. At first I said no, he lives here in the park and I just help him out. As the years went by I just said yes, he was my dad, even though he really was not old enough. He got a kick out of it when I said it, with a mischievous grin on his face. I will miss that!
In the past couple years as Lyle’s health went downhill, I became his driver and helped him as much as possible. The time we spent in the car driving to doctor appointments in Yakima, Tri Cities or just around Prosser gave us a chance to talk and learn more about each other. I told him several times how much I loved him and that is why I did the things I did for him.
When he was told to get more exercise we bought him a 3-wheel bicycle to ride around the park. It was so much fun to see him ride it. After a few months he became too weak and unstable to continue, which was sad to see. When it was time for him to move away, my husband and I bought his trailer and little red truck. The truck is now my husband’s, which he has fixed up and drives around town. It is a fond memory to see it parked at our home.
My heart has a hole in it and I will miss Lyle dearly. But I know he is now out of pain and chasing butterflies in heaven!

Lemon Laws (kind of) protect new and used RV buyers. This is how they REALLY work
By Randall Brink
If you have purchased a new or used RV, only to have your rig stuck in the shop for weeks or months for warranty repairs, you may have a “lemon.” If your dealer/warranty repair shop repeatedly tries and fails to repair the problem(s), you do have a “lemon” by definition. The definition is in the “Lemon Laws” enacted by the states. A U.S. federal lemon law generally applies, even if the state laws are not applicable or ineffective in addressing your specific situation. Learn more.
Residential-type vs. absorption RV refrigerators
What’s best for you? Are fires a concern?

Why it’s important to have a plan in case of a health scare
Reader Lisa Adcox writes: “Do you have a plan if your partner has a health scare? This week it happened to us. My husband had a stroke. He was first at the ER, then an acute care hospital and now in a rehabilitation center. Will be in hospital for at least another 14 days. Why am I speaking about this?

Beat-ing feelings of isolation while on the road; find what keeps you company

Would you like to see these extra features in campgrounds?
By Gail Marsh
When you pull into your campground, what do you expect to find?

How to conquer the fear of breaking down in remote areas
Do you have a fear of breaking down in remote areas with your RV? This question recently came up during a Zoom meeting among RVtravel.com writers and staff. Given the current shortage of repair parts, trained technicians, lack of qualified service centers, supply chain issues, labor shortages and problems with obtaining emergency road service, it was deemed a legitimate concern. Since remote areas (aka middle of nowhere ) are my favorite places to visit, I agreed to pose the question and share my thoughts. … Read how to become self-reliant and prepare for emergencies here. We’re sure you’ll learn something new.
“Will Work for Space” – Could work camping be the solution for a long-term site?
You may have noticed, or read a few articles, about how difficult it is to find a monthly RV space on short notice these days. I say “short notice” because that is how we roll. I wouldn’t call it procrastination, but more of a learned behavior. It never fails. If we make plans more than two months in advance, the plans always change. This is mainly because we are not retired and the nature of our work requires us to be somewhere at least a week before we know it is worth sticking around. But the past couple of years have added a new set of rules. Continue reading about these options for obtaining a long-term RV site in this post from Sandi Sturm.

My phone got me into “Siri-ous” trouble with the cops! Don’t let it happen to you
By Nanci Dixon
First, I need to admit that I am not very proficient in using Siri on my iPhone. Most of my proficiency involves saying, “Goodbye, Siri,” “I’m not talking to you, Siri,” “I didn’t call you, Siri,” or “Go away, Siri!” … But I did decide while my phone was neatly mounted on the dash and I was zooming down the highway to try to have her actually do something useful. I said, “Siri, open Pandora.” Next thing I knew my phone was dialing a number. What? That wasn’t what I asked for. To my horror, I realized Siri was calling the police. Continue reading.

Our RV’s retractable stairs quit working. Cheaply made parts are to blame
By Kate Doherty
Every now and then my spouse echoes his sentiment on an irritating subject – premature failure of electronic components, or, as he puts it, “cheap crap!” If you’re a full-timer or travel extensively, there’s a good chance you have repaired or replaced an operational component in your RV. Since reliable parts are no longer manufactured in the states and moved to the land of cheap labor, junk and more junk, reliability has become a thing of the past. Continue reading.
The fascinating history behind daylight saving time and some time-ly tips

We fixed our dead Norcold fridge’s cooling unit, but it was a lot of work!
By Kate Doherty
I remember in the late ’80s when TV reporters filmed people in Poland waiting in line for hours to buy an exorbitantly priced loaf of bread. We all said this would never happen here at home. Hooey! While not as bad as Poland, the disruption in our supply chain, fuel prices and transportation logistics sure make finding a new appliance or its replacement part(s) exceedingly difficult. … Read everything Kate and her husband had to go through to fix their fridge, here. Sheesh!
Ditch the gas guzzler and try a bicycle camper. These are amazing!
By Sandi Sturm
More and more you see bicycles hanging from the back of the RV. A lot of them are used for exercise and riding the trails, others are used to get around the park. But what if you could use your bicycle to pull your camper? I won’t call these RVs, since they only provide “cramping” conditions. But if you are an avid bicyclist you may find them intriguing, especially as gas prices continue to climb. See the bike campers here.

Lights dim in your RV?
Are the lights dim in your RV? The likely problem is that there isn’t enough 12 VDC power in the coach, but that’s not all. First, determine if the battery and converter are working properly. If the coach is plugged into shore power and there is low DC voltage, then the converter isn’t working for some reason. If the coach is unplugged from shore power, then that points to the battery(s). If the 12 VDC sources are good, then you likely have a ground or neutral problem. I have seen coaches with loose neutral buses that act just like this.

Watergen – RV drinking water from the air? Or pie-in-the-sky?
By Russ and Tiña De Maris
“Water, water everywhere, nor any drop to drink.” RVers who favor the boondocking lifestyle may have to agree with Poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s lament. You may not camp by a salty seashore, but the air is most often filled with water moisture – but unavailable for quenching our thirst. Watergen, an Israel-based manufacturing firm, swears they have a way to wring water out of the air. Come next year, they say you’ll be able to buy a device from Camping World that will give you fresh drinking water in the wilds – without having to come back to civilization. Is this real – or just pie-in-the-sky? Learn more.

Trivia
How did military vehicles get to be known as “tanks”? Well, they weren’t always. When tanks were first designed by the British during World War I, they were known as “landships.” However, in order to keep operations in secret, workers and laymen that came into contact with the vehicle construction programs were told they were building transportation vehicles to haul water and other liquids. In other words, tanks. The code name caught on and it has stuck ever since.
Word and Phrase Origins
From the book, Word and Phrase Origins by Robert Hendrickson:
cranberry. “This berry grows wild in the marshlands favored by cranes, which leads some experts to trace it to the Low German word kraanberre. However, since the word is recorded in America as early as 1647 – a time when it is unlikely that Low German terms would have much currency here – it could be that Americans coined the word independently, noting themselves that the berry grew where cranes lived.

Do yourself a big favor Robin. Pass on the RV. You have a 50/50 chance it won’t be in the shop more than on the road in the first year. Your dreams will turn to nightmares. Go stay in a hotel.
do yourself a big favor – don’t pontificate. Don’t tell me what to do and I won’t tell you
I’m new to the whole rv thing, been a few months now since I’ve subscribed to the weekend newsletter. have found some useful info here and there, but just seems like this is more geared towards larger rv’s and touches on smaller units only in reviews of the next upcoming travel trailer, lots of talk of shortages of parts and yet haven’t seen a list of such parts, everyone worried of warranties and horror stories of warranty work setbacks. that to me is simply relying on someone else to fix a problem and what do you do when the warranty expires? who fixes it then? do it yourself when possible and if you’re mechanically inclined. If you’re not, then take it to trustworthy shop. Sorry, not sorry…but I envision our current society as that of the Disney movie Wall-E, folks on a space cruise ship with a tablet tapping away for every service imaginable, wait, already kinda doing that without being in space…
