If you’re excited to get on the road but you’re just not sure whether the F-150 that falls in your budget can pull the travel trailer you want, you may be wondering what your options are. The real towing capacity of an F-150 depends on a lot of things, but I’ll try to break them…
When you’re living the RV life, you need quite a bit of propane. Propane keeps your camper warm, lights the stove and the oven, and keeps your refrigerator running. You won’t want to be caught without propane, which is why you should always know where you can get refills to stay ahead of the game….
My wife and I get this question a lot. To be fair, we asked it a lot in the beginning, too. We had absolutely no clue what boondocking was, and people outside of the RV community don’t either.
Some call it dry camping, but essentially, boondocking is camping without the hookups. You can stay in your RV or camper, but you won’t have water, electricity, or sewer.
It’s a chance to get off the grid and be in the quiet. You’ll find plenty of beautiful destinations with epic scenery, outside of the confines and rules of a traditional campground.
Not to mention, without having to pay for hookups, you’re living dirt cheap for days, weeks, or months at a time.
It might sound like you’re getting closer to nature, but there are a lot of implications here that you might not think about.
When it comes to RVs, Airstream and Winnebago are probably the two most popular names. They immediately come to your mind when you think about RVs and they offer some of the most iconic designs in RV history.
They each have their own advantages, and despite being very popular, are very different. We’re going to review each in detail and then leave it up to you to decide which better suits your needs.
The main differences between Airstream and Winnebago are:
While talking about RVing may be one of your favorite things to do, talking about taxes probably isn’t. However, it’s a necessary evil, and the two overlap, believe it or not, so you’ll want to read on to find out how you can maximize your deductions at tax time.
If you have an RV that you use for traveling, you may not already know that you can take some deductions on it. Whether you live in a house and you only use your RV part-time or you live in our RV full-time like a regular nomad, you can take advantage of some of these deductions to get the most out of your RV lifestyle.
For RV owners who full-time, our tax deductions are limited when it comes to the traditional brick-and-mortar homeowner. However, there’s an overlap you’ll want to know about because you can still take some of these deductions and you may not even know it.
Replacing the subfloor in any camper can be a daunting task, but a step-by-step guide can make it a bit less overwhelming. This guide will explain how to replace a subfloor in travel trailer, so you don’t have to panic. There’s not much worse than walking through your travel trailer, or any trailer for that…
Shopping for an RV can be overwhelming, and not just because there are so many options. There are a lot of places you can shop. You’ll find different price ranges depending on age, mileage, and other factors. And you need to decide how old of an RV you’re willing to buy. There’s a lot that…
Airstream trailers are instantly recognizable as an icon of American camping. Sleek, stylish, and durable, these trailers upgrade your tent to a full-fledged house on wheels. They’re pricey, but they hold their value really well, and they’re everywhere because people love them.
However, if you’re having a hard time justifying the cost, but you really want something similar, you’re in luck. There are plenty of Airstream alternatives out there from lookalikes to the modern retro interior, you’ll find the perfect knock-off that’s right for you.
And for the record, these knock-offs are just as good, so calling them knock-offs is doing them a great disservice. Check them out for yourself.
These lookalikes are pretty pricey, too. You’re not escaping the price tag of an Airstream, but you may enjoy the modern architectural touches of the interior more. It’s a luxury upgrade from the Airstream, featuring an interior that
Whether you RV full-time or you take your big rig on vacation once a year, you should be prepared. As a matter of fact, with any vehicle comes maintenance. The bigger the vehicle, the bigger the maintenance jobs, and the bigger the tools you need to tackle it. When it comes to maintenance, a lot of times you need to lift your RV to get underneath it. That means crawling under a really heavy ride. Along with that comes the need to be able to trust whatever is holding it up.
In addition to maintenance, sometimes you need RV jacks or stabilizers to keep your rig steady while you’re parked. Especially if you don’t have a self-leveling system, you need tools to help you get the RV le
RV leveling blocks are something that every RVer needs. Even if you have an auto-leveling rig, leveling blocks can serve many useful purposes at a campsite. For one thing, if your RV has an absorption refrigerator (and most RVs do), it has to be completely level.
Many smaller RVs and travel trailers don’t have auto leveling jacks, so it’s up to you to do it yourself. But even if you do have auto leveling jacks, you can benefit from some leveling blocks in certain cases.
Let’s learn a little bit more about what leveling blocks do, the different types there are, and why they’re useful to you.
For obvious reasons, it’s not very comfortable to live, e
