You know you’re in trouble when cars passing you on the highway are honking their horns and waving their hands, then pointing back toward your trailer. One clear, sunny day just before Thanksgiving, this happened to us as we were driving through the high desert of California. We pulled over to try to figure out…
When you have to go, you have to go. It may not be the stuff of polite conversation, but it is a fact of life. Everyone needs to use the toilet.
One of the great advantages of RV travel is that you have your own bathroom with you wherever you go. Not all RV toilets are the same, however, and there is a surprisingly wide range of options available.

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.

RVs and travel trailers are a lot of fun, but they’re also a lot of work to maintain. It’s common to want to change and upgrade things inside and outside your RV as it gets older. Just like with houses, upgrading is entirely possible, as long as you know what you’re doing and have the…

Spend enough time with other RVers, and you will inevitably end up talking about poop at least once. Regardless of experience level, just about everyone has an unfortunate black tank story to tell.
