Editor’s corner

With Chuck Woodbury | Chuck (at) RVtravel.com

ook closely at this photograph. It looks like a lot of nothing, right? Well, it is a lot of nothing. But look closer. Right about the center, toward the top, you’ll see what looks like a speck of dust on the photo. But that’s not what it is.

It’s Earth.

It was taken February 14, 1990, when the Voyager 1 spacecraft was four billion miles away, as it left our planetary neighborhood for the fringes of the solar system (it’s now traveled another 9 billion miles). At the urging of astronomer Carl Sagan, NASA turned the spacecraft around for one last look at its home planet. Sagan wrote:

That’s here. That’s home. That’s us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every ‘superstar,’ every ‘supreme leader,’ every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there — on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

So why do I bring this up in a newsletter about RVing? Out of frustration. That “Pale Blue Dot” is the tiny place we call home — one of millions, perhaps billions of such worlds. When I look at it, so many things seem so insignificant, so small. And so wrong!

Observing this, and having the highly evolved brain of a homo sapiens to try to understand it, I marvel at the joy the Pale Blue Dot has brought me. But, right now, I want to put my fist through a wall out of frustration at the disrespect we tiny time-travelers express day after day to each other — in words, in actions and in terrible deeds like the brutal shootings of innocent people last week by sick, angry men whose hate boiled over.

As the editor of this publication, I am forced every day to witness the anger of so many people through their spiteful comments and emails. They cannot accept that others do not believe exactly as they do. And so they lash out, hidden away in their homes and RVs — faceless cowards spewing ignorant babble.

I have said before, but will say again: If you want to leave a comment on this website, please be sure it’s respectful and constructive. Do not call someone stupid or an idiot, or a liberal or right winger. If you wish to be a part of this intelligent community, as we hope you do, then please observe what Mr. J.C. Penney advised years ago, “Do unto others as you would have done to you.” Most religions urge the same.

Please, think about your own actions toward others, here and everywhere. Please try your best to be kind and fair, and keep an open mind. Accept that not everyone sees the world exactly as you do and that you may not always be right.

Look at the pale dot again and take a moment to think about it.

P.S. It was great to meet the RV Travel readers who camped with us last week at the Enumclaw RV Show near Seattle. What a wonderful group of people! Let’s do it again next year!

Reduce anxiety maneuvering at the fuel stop

While having that bigger motorhome or towing a larger trailer has its share of pluses, along with the increased length comes what for some is a “problem set.” When it’s time to fuel up your rig, getting in and out of the fuel station can become anything between a challenge and a nightmare. Here are some tips to make it easier.

Think your RV door is locked? Think again

Here’s a short story about how six RVers were able to gain entry to other RVs with the keys to their own doors — not intended for the doors they were able to unlock. How can this happen? Easy. Read all about it.

Alternatives to hitch ball grease

A new hitch ball is often bright, shiny and chromed. But many RVers have been much dismayed, on lifting the hitch coupler off the new ball after the first use, that the chrome is scratched and scarred. What happened? Metal-to-metal contact can scrape off that shiny chrome and things are never the same. Read more.

Your RV satellite feed may be affected if Congress fails to act

Do you take your satellite broadcasts with you when you travel? Plenty of on-the-road RVers do, keeping up with their local news and information as well as their favorite shows. But having that local feed while far away could vanish if Congress doesn’t take positive action to, as Captain Picard says, “Make it so.” Learn more.

Do tips for fending off sleep while driving really work?

Safety is the number one objective when driving your rig on the nation’s roads, not only for your own safety but for other drivers on the road as well. There are some currently held beliefs of certain actions that you can take to keep you alert when driving, such as winding down the windows, turning on the air conditioning, and turning up the volume on the radio. But do they work? Find out here.

Brats and beer? It must be Leavenworth – Washington’s “Bavarian Alps” town

Small towns and hamlets scattered throughout the West struggle to get by. Without major employers, there are few jobs for residents so many of these small towns rely on tourism for their survival.

Read about one of RVtravel.com’s staff’s favorite nearby places to visit.

Tip for RV park owners: How to make more money at the expense of RVers

Finding a campsite could get a lot harder if the suggestions made by Brad Templeton writing in Forbes Magazine take hold. According to Templeton, campground owners could reap more business if they started to cater to the owners of electric vehicles (EV) on road trips. Read more.

Our “Super Lube” axle disaster. Is there one waiting for you?

Last fall Russ and Tiña De Maris bought a used 2008 travel trailer. … For the most part, it had lived an easy life. They noticed it had Zerk fittings under the axle dust caps. It’s a Lippert Super Lube system, purported to make your life easier – just give your axles a squirt of grease and forget about all that hassle of pulling the drums off and hand-packing the bearings. Sounds like a great idea, right? Maybe not. Read more.

For relief from summer’s heat visit California’s Patrick’s Point State Park

Why do you “camp”?

There’s some question whether traveling in a comfy RV is “camping,” but a lot of us still call it that. Regardless, most of us like to get away with a recreational vehicle – or simply a tent, portable stove and sleeping bag. Why do we do it? Or more to the point, “Why do you do it?” Please answer here.

Sink your choppers into a luscious taste treat at a New England U-Pick apple orchard

Scenic photography ideas: Oregon’s 50 restored covered bridges

Back in the simpler “good ‘ol days,” when our daily distractions didn’t include social media, smartphones and terrorist attacks, gasoline cost a few pennies a gallon and stealing a kiss from a young lady was at the top of a young man’s list of thrills. Courting under the “kissing bridges” was the way to avoid the prying eyes of maiden aunts and vigilant grandmothers. Read more.

You haven’t seen South Dakota until you’ve roamed the Black Hills

Today’s RV explorers will find the Black Hills a wildly rugged range of mountains where you will find a couple of underground wildernesses, shaggy bison, herds of Harleys (if you are there at the right time of year), killer scenery, a quartet of giant old guys looking down from a granite mountain and, of course, black hills, part of the 1.2-million-acre Black Hills National Forest.

What to do about homeless RV dwellers: Seattle has a plan

A group of researchers in the homeless-plagued city of Seattle in collaboration with the Seattle and King County Housing Authorities enacted a test program in an attempt to attack the seriousness of America’s homeless problem, reports Dylan Matthews for the Vox.

Avoid smacking low bridges with this new 2020 Road Atlas

New product, Brite Wash, promises effective RV cleaning

Many owners mistakenly use strong automotive soap on their RVs, thinking harsh equals effective. Nothing could be further from the truth. It instead removes any previously applied protective products, makes it difficult to rinse and pollutes the environment with chemical runoff. Brite Wash from Shurhold is different, the company claims in a press release. Learn more.

RVer Safety

Guns and nuts – What can we do?

From Mike Sherman, retired street cop. I usually try to bring forth topics that pertain specifically to RVers that travel the highways of America, discussing topics pertaining to your safety and your security. The readers of RV Travel have been a great asset, adding aspects and comments that I fail to touch on. Space limitations prevent deeper discussions, but today is different. Read more, and please participate in a discussion if you have ideas on what can be done to prevent further shooting tragedies.

Work Camping

Why leave a review?

Whenever we travel somewhere new while full-time RVing, whether we’re work camping or just commuting at a campground, it’s a first-time experience. It’s safe to say that if it is our first, then it is, or will be, someone else’s first too. Leaving a review for the place of business tells others who would venture down that same stretch of road of our experiences. This helps those travelers to have some information and our opinion of what we have encountered. Read more.

Alert, alert! Space-saving amazing gadget! 
As RVers, we know the importance of space, especially in the kitchen. This brilliant gadget is both a knife and cutting board in one, so you can save some of that prized cabinet or drawer space. Cut, chop and slice food in seconds, and let it fall right into the pan or bowl. It doesn’t get any easier than this. Click the image to watch a quick video and order one for yourself here.

Ask the RV Doctor

How important is leveling for an RV absorption fridge?

Dear Gary:
We recently purchased a used 2007 motorhome and haven’t actually camped in it yet but have done some local driving to get used to it. We’ve been reading about the leveling for the refrigerator and understand the necessity. We have a two-door unit (top freezer and bottom refrigerator). My husband is concerned about leveling while driving such as on hills and mountains. Should we be concerned? —Rosemary P.

RV Electricity

Reverse Polarity Bootleg Ground update

Hi Mike,
I’ve read all the articles you’ve written about Reverse Polarity Bootleg Grounds but was unable to post a comment, since they are more than a year old! My question, which I don’t believe was answered in the articles, is: Are surge protector companies, like Progressive, working to fix this problem in their products so they do detect this condition? Appreciate your comments! Thanks! —Jeff

Be like Mike: Don’t forget the fuse!
Mike says: Your RV has both 120-volt AC electrical systems (like your house), plus 12-volt DC battery systems (like your car). If the power goes out, it could be a circuit breaker (like in your house) or a blown fuse (like in your car). Always carry spare fuses that fit your RV’s battery system. Confirm the exact type and size of fuses your RV needs, then get a set of replacements. Here’s one pack, but be sure to check what your RV actually uses before ordering it.

RV Tire Safety

How old is too old for RV tires?

For RV application this is a tough question because “it depends.” There are several factors that can shorten tire life, which Roger Marble explains here.

Building an RV Park

When it rains, it pours!

From Machelle James: There is one thing you can count on here in Arizona during the summer: Monsoon Season. It rains every day here anytime from noon to 8 p.m. It can be a light rain to a downpour with hail. That happened every day here for the last two weeks. It has been making our chore list hard to do … So we wait! Read more about their progress in spite of Mother Nature.

Western Views

Honoring Old Bill

From Len Wilcox: Williams, Arizona, is a place that has always piqued my interest. It’s high up in the pines, about 30 miles west of Flagstaff. Nowadays it’s a tourist town, famous for being the southern entrance to the Grand Canyon and the last stretch of Route 66 to be replaced by interstate highway. But once it was a high-living Western town. … [And] even before that, it was the home of Old Bill Williams, one of the most eccentric of that strange breed of Westerners known as Mountain Men. Read more, or let Len Wilcox read the story to you.

The RV Kitchen

No Noodle Tuna Casserole

There is no extra step in this recipe for boiling water, cooking noodles, draining and mess. Just put everything in a pan for the stove top or a baking dish for the oven. Serve it over biscuits, toast, crisp Chinese noodles, shredded cabbage or spiralized zucchini. Make it ahead and keep it cold to bake or nuke up to two days later. Double it for a potluck. Get the recipe.

Climate change and succession

From Dennis Prichard: I attended a meeting of forest ecologists some 20 years ago wherein the scientists presented speeches on what might happen in the future in respect to forests in the Southwestern U.S. Their predictions were rather dire. Read more.

That’s connected to … what?
The Klein ET310 transmitter/receiver figures out what electrical outlet is connected to which circuit breaker. Plug the transmitter end into the outlet in question, then scan the circuit breaker panel with the receiver “wand” and voila – you know which breaker is powering that outlet without resorting to flipping random breakers on and off. The transmitter also doubles as a 3-light outlet tester letting you know if there’s a Hot/Neutral polarity reversal, open ground, etc., and it also checks GFCI operation. Learn more or order.
