The truth about RVing: It’s NOT always rosy …
By Nanci Dixon
W
hile I love our RVing life and being able to full-time and travel around this immense and amazingly beautiful country, there are times that it’s just plain hard, frustrating, and disgusting, i.e., not always rosy.
From renewing drivers’ licenses to battling mice and ants; the troubles of reserving a campsite to wayward, roaming coyotes; from finding a part, a mobile tech, or a SIM card, to just finding toilet paper. Even rounding up enough cell data to write this post is problematic! The AT&T text on my phone reads: “You are at the end of your 16.5 Gigs and while you still have unlimited data if you reach 22.5 Gigs it may be throttled. Wi-Fi reduces data use.” To AT&T: If I had Wi-Fi, I would be using it already. And what good is an unlimited data plan, anyway?
A couple of weeks ago, one of our readers suggested in my Campground Crowding column that it was sites like ours, RVtravel.com, that are responsible for the crowding happening in campgrounds and RV parks across the country. They thought that by always putting a rosy glow around RVing without reporting the drudgery and dirt, we were making the influx of new RVers even worse. But then there are other readers who complain that all we report on is the doom and gloom of RVing and its future.
I have a few clarifying words for everyone: RVing is not always rosy! Continue reading.
RVers evacuated yesterday from flooded Oregon RV Park
The U.S. Coast Guard and the Tillamook County, Oregon, Sheriff’s Office were busy Friday evacuating campers at the Neskowin Creek RV Resort north of Lincoln City after heavy rains caused the creek to flood the park as well as an access road and bridge. Helicopters were being used. Parts of U.S. 101 were impassable. Read more now. Other nearby campgrounds were being evacuated. We’ll update the story tomorrow.

State residency and tax issues: Here’s how long you can stay in a state before you have to pay state taxes
READER DAVE T. ASKS: “We’re considering spending a summer in an RV park in Minnesota, Wisconsin, or Michigan, and were wondering if there were any tax issues to consider. Do these states charge income tax on retirees who are just summer visitors?” Read full-time RVer Nanci Dixon’s answer here.
RV parks draw big money investors: Will RV parks become the new “trailer courts”?
By Andy Zipser
(We are rerunning this from last Sunday, since there was a glitch and the article wasn’t published until a few hours after the newsletter was sent out. We apologize – especially to Andy.) RV parks today are attracting big money investors, some of whom are approaching such ownership much the same as successful mobile home operators did in years past. “The customers [residents] are stuck there … They can’t afford to move the trailer,” says one park consultant. Is this the future of RV parks?” Andy has some thoughts.
Free access to federal recreation areas. Start planning now before they get booked up!

November is Native American Heritage Month. Here are some ways to honor and celebrate it
Some 13,000 years ago, long before Europeans settled in North America, sovereign societies stretched across the continent and relied on negotiated networks of alliances, treaties, trade agreements, and intermarriage. Archeologists have traced their journey from north-central Asia across a land bridge at the Bering Strait (between modern-day Alaska and Siberia). The journey continued as indigenous people occupied every parcel of land in North America. Learn much more.

New Feature: RV Consumer Support
Readers write back: Buy new or used RV?
By Russ and Tiña De Maris
When we fired up the RVtravel.com consumer support section, it didn’t take long for us to get plenty of mail. Plenty of disgruntled readers who gave definite recommendations to steer clear of buying new RVs. At the end of October we ran a story about some of their thinking. At the time we asked for feedback. When RV shopping, buy new or used? We got a mix of responses – and a plethora of reasons. Read them here.
Last year at this time, these were the most popular articles
• How to use your RV toilet even in winter
• The day it rained whale blubber (watch them blow up a whale carcass – not pretty!)

How to make your RV warm and welcoming to guests for the holidays
By Gail Marsh
It won’t be long now. Soon, out-of-town relatives and friends will descend on your home for the holidays. It’s expensive to put them up in nearby hotels, but if you don’t really have space for them inside your sticks-and-bricks home, it’s time to put that RV to an alternative use! Use your RV to accommodate your out-of-town guests. Read many great tips here.
Will a cat keep the mice out of my RV? Is it worth a try?
By Sandi Sturm
As the nights are dipping into the 40s here in the Arizona desert, creatures start looking for a warmer place to cozy up and spend the night. I just spent a couple of weeks getting rid of some crazy tiny ants. But now the guests sound like they are a little bigger. The past couple of nights I kept waking up around 3:00 a.m. to strange noises. It took a while to figure it out – like those quiz shows that play a common sound and you are to guess what it is. I was guessing heater ductwork and food bags. I was wrong. Continue reading.
Shoot off a rocket when RVing! Yes, it’s possible!
By Nanci Dixon
We were hiking the other day and stopped to talk with a couple that was just finishing up a six-mile hike. They wanted to get in shape for their next adventure – shooting off rockets! They make and retrieve their own rockets and will hike over 10 miles to get them and bring them back. That takes some training! They had just gotten a fifth wheel toy hauler so they could carry the rockets more efficiently and lay the rockets down on the bunk beds when they travel. They said it was so much better as the rockets can be seven or eight feet long. Trying to maneuver them into other vehicles was a hassle. Read more about this fun sport of rocketry.
Wildlife safety: Your dog(s) can harm wildlife and natural habitats
By Karel Carnohan, DVM
It is a wonderful image – a dog running freely in the woods with his human strolling the path, both free to enjoy the nature around them. Actually, it is a dangerous image because dogs can do much harm to wildlife if allowed to run free. Not only is it a danger to the wild animals, but it is a danger to the dog and its owner. In fact, it is illegal to allow your dog to harass wildlife. You and your dog need to practice wildlife safety. Continue reading this important message.
Wacky RVs of the Week: Planes, trains and automobiles!

Efficient use of closet space
Don’t have many clothes to hang in your RV closets? You can still put that space to good use by putting up hanging shelves. They’re great for lightweight items – think socks, underwear, shirts that can be folded, etc.
Tips for cooking on a gas stove
If you’re new to RVing, learning to cook on a gas stove can be a bit challenging. Compared to the average electric stove, gas burners will heat up your pots and pans much more quickly – so beware! The burners are often smaller than what you’re accustomed to, so picking up smaller cookware for the rig could be in order. But if your pot is small, don’t crank the gas flame up HIGH – bring the flame up to fit the bottom of the pan. That way you’ll save gas, and you won’t run the risk of burning the handles on the pot.

Why does my trailer “snap, crackle and pop” on turns?
Dear Dave,
I just upgraded from a bumper pull to a Forest River Sabre 36BHQ 5th wheel. I’ve noticed a lot of popping and metal-to-metal sounds coming from the suspension on the trailer, but only during turning. It “pops and moans” whether they’re mild or sharp turns. Is there something I should be worried about? —Erik

• Why does the fresh water tank overfill when hooked to city water?
• Can I run a residential fridge on a 190w solar panel and battery?
• Why does my RV’s toilet keep running?
• All three of my RV’s drain valves are stuck. What’s the solution?
• Furnace blower doesn’t work, so where’s the warm air coming from?

Road Trips
They’re the “The Greatest Rock and Roll band in the World” and you can follow in their footsteps
By Chris Epting
They first came to America in 1964, quickly becoming “accidental tourists” as they barreled around the country in station wagons, vans and small prop planes. More than a dozen tours and countless side trips later, the Rolling Stones have left their mark on hundreds of sites around the U.S. Given the fact that they are back on the road, I thought I’d take a look at some places touched by my favorite band in the world.

Porta-Bote: The foldable, lightweight, unsinkable boat you need for your RV
By Randall Brink
When planning for an RV trip, there are times that you would like to take along more than you can carry or tow. For example, do you pull a box trailer full of gear or a towed vehicle? If you tow a car, what about your boat? Should you hitch your boat to the back of your toad or cargo trailer? (I have seen this done – not recommended!) A company in Mountain View, CA, called Porta-Bote, has been making a solution to this dilemma for quite a few years. Learn more about this nifty and very portable boat here.

Do “solar generators” really work?
As you may know, I wasn’t enamored with the marketing hype of the so-called “solar generators” last year. In fact, I was worried that readers would confuse them with actual gasoline or propane generators, which they definitely are not.
But since I like to test everything, and Jackery now has a 1500-watt version with up to four 100-watt solar panels in a kit, I thought this was a good time to jump in with both feet and see if they live up to the hype. I also want to find out if they could be useful in boondocking or even a home power outage situation. Continue reading, and check out Mike’s “cheesy beefcake” picture! OY!
This week’s J.A.M. (Just Ask Mike) Session
Baby, it’s cold inside! Monitoring RV temps
Dear Mike,
We’re full-timing in a northern state and now that it’s getting colder we worry about freezing pipes under the floor of the RV. There’s access to this compartment via an outside door, and I’m thinking about hanging a 100-watt light bulb there to keep it warm (as you’ve suggested in the past). But is there an easy way to monitor the actual temperature without running wires or opening up the door and sticking a thermometer in the compartment to check the temp. Any ideas? —Chilly Cathy
The cutest salt and pepper shakers!
You can’t deny how cute this is – it would be perfect on any RV dinette! This vintage gas station filling pump salt and paper set is so unique! This would make a great gift for anyone who loves classic cars or Route 66! We want one! Check it out here.
RV Tire Safety
Are IR thermometers good for detecting low inflation in tires?
Roger Marble recently read these comments about IR “guns” (thermometers):”I carry a heat gun with me. When I stop I check all tires. If one is a lot hotter than the rest I have a problem.” and “A cheap Harbor Freight gun is a good investment. We carry two when I tow my boat to the Keys. Each stop, my buddy and I have a gun in each door. We each shoot all four wheels then compare notes about what we got as far as readings.” Read Roger’s response to these comments here.

RV Fire Safety
Galley stove safety
Even if the flame on your galley stove goes out, gas continues to flow and could result in an explosion. A stove should never be left unattended or used to heat your coach. Open propane flames release high levels of carbon monoxide.

Recipe of the Day
Chicken and Dumpling Casserole
by Carla Skiles from Greeley, KS
A wonderful twist on chicken and dumplings. The base is creamy and full of chicken. Fresh cooked onions and celery add the flavor you expect. The touch of basil is a different, and delicious, twist. Peas give the easy casserole a pop of sweetness. The “dumpling” is like a drop biscuit that is infused with hints of basil. Once baked, the biscuit is firm but underneath is a little gooey like a traditional dumpling.
It’s a gloomy day where we are and this sounds like the perfect dinner! Get the recipe here and make it with us!

American Gothic House & Center
Eldon, IA
Even if you’re not an art aficionado you surely know the famous painting “American Gothic” by Grant Wood. If you’ve ever visited Chicago, you’ve seen it in the incredible Art Institute of Chicago. And, if you’ve ever been to Eldon, Iowa, you may have seen the house in the painting, which is still standing today. You can only go inside the house on select dates, but you can go right up to it and visit the adjacent visitor center, which has a gallery and gift shop. We think this would be pretty neat to see in person! Visit the official website to plan your visit.

Trivia
Where is the largest working musical instrument in the world located? If you guessed Philidelphia, you’re right! Inside the Macy’s Department Store on Market Street, you’ll find the Wanamaker Grand Court Organ (named after the original store). The instrument is so big it reaches multiple floors of the department store. The organ has 28,604 pipes! There is only one dedicated organ master who is allowed to play the Wanamaker – go figure! BTW, the organ is a National Historic Landmark and valued in excess of $79 million. Maybe that explains why only one organ master is allowed to play it.
Word and Phrase Origins
From the book, Word and Phrase Origins by Robert Hendrickson:
shell out. “From the actual ‘shelling out’ of peas and corn – removing the first from their pods and removing corn from the cob – came the figurative use of to shell out, ‘to pay out.’ Removing a seed from a pod, etc., is like taking money out of a purse or pocket and, furthermore, dried shelled peas and ‘shelled corn,’ as it was called in America, were often a medium of exchange in the past. The phrase is first recorded in 1825.”
