From Lynchburg, VA, we are thinking of taking US 29 to US 15, and then
pick up I-81 at Harrisburg, PA and 209 through Delaware Gap NRA.
Are there any serious problems with this plan?

Recently I ran across http://rv-dreams.com (no affiliation). Several
of the pages discussed budgeting and suggested a three thousand dollar
(USD) per month budget. If I did the numbers right a person must gross
fourty-four thousand dollars per year to be able to net thirty-six

I live off-grid and I'm looking for a full size, 30" wide range that does
not need electricity to operate.  I'm very familiar with the smaller RV
ovens and one would be ideal if I could only find one that's regular, house
size.  I like the RV feature of having the "Off" position for ...

OK here is a question for those who have roofs that have to be washed
often what do you use to preclude stripping the wax on the sides of the
coach?  Just curious.  Seems it would be tough especially on those who
use wax or is it the same for the stuff Bob uses/sells?

***Many times, we see members of certain backward groups utilizing the

In a couple of weeks we'll be heading south from Montrose, CO to the SW corner
of Colorado.  I drove this route 13 years ago and if I recall correctly it was a bit

Planned to stop at Meade Lake State Park but some ambitious farmer has

Hey thanks Lon, Bob and Albert for your replies.  My biggest concern is
that the soap used on the roof to clean it would strip all the wax or
the DriWash off and you would have to start from scratch! Those rubber
roofs don't clean easy.  Soap will remove wax so that was my worry ...

Do most 5th wheel owners carry an auxiliary generator along on their
travels?
If so, where is it stored when not in use?
Which type/model is the most popular?

My wife and I went camping in a local Ohio State Park (Mohican) with 3
other RV's ( annual shakedown cruise). Before we left I downloaded
some geocaches in that area. We got on our motorcycles and went
looking for them. We came across a Castle/Inn/Restaurant that was

We had been looking forward to going to Libby's (for the first time)
in York, but found out that no oceanfront sites are available in
July.  We have no interest in parking in a site that looks at another
trailer....We usually go to Boothbay Harbor, but would be open to

OT? I don't think so. Ford builds trucks and Chassis
for RVs. Right?
Some may think this Ford Commercial is political.
IT IS NOT.

I am in need of a recommendation of a good stainless steel cleaner.  The
stainless steel stove top and cover in are motorhome are a bit of a mess and
I would like to give it a good cleaning.
Thanks
