An interesting thing happened the other night as I watched TV. A car commercial came on with some grainy 1950s footage of happy Americans packing the family car for a trip. For the next sixty seconds the viewer was treated to a montage of scenic locations and campsites and endless miles of unfolding roads. There […]
The next two months will be the best time to buy an RV -ever.
Is it safe to say that 2020 is turning out to be one of the strangest years in memory? And we haven’t even hit the halfway point yet. I’m hoping the rest of the year pales in comparison. (Would everyone agree that we’ve all had enough excitement for a while?) Both RV manufacturers and RV […]
Bucket List Destinations:
Flaming Gorge, Utah is a beautifully rustic slab of land, sprawling over two states (Utah and Wyoming), and featuring a multitude of recreational activities. First time visitors will quickly realize why so many of their fellow campers have returned numerous times. Not only is the scenery world class, but there are accommodations for every class […]

Shopping for an RV in a sea of information
Congratulations! You made it. If you’ve been trying to research an RV, you’re probably a bit shellshocked by now. There’s a lot of info swirling around about who builds the best RV and a lot of it is contradictory. One blog loves this RV, another claims it’s the worst thing to hit the market in […]
RoadTrek: The Return
Where to begin? For those who haven’t been following the soap opera saga that has been unfolding at Canadian-based RoadTrek this year, the plot isn’t easy to summarize. There’s been board room drama, cast changes, rumors worthy of TMZ, bankruptcy, arrests, lawsuits, and three plants shuttered. Who would have thought our cheerful neighbors to the […]
RV Manufacturer files for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Protection
We never like to see an RV manufacturer announce their closure. Especially a boutique manufacturer. And even one with an annoyingly cute name like Lil Snoozy. But Lil Snoozy didn’t announce anything. It was there one day and gone the next. At some point earlier this year, someone unplugged the phone lines, soaped the windows, killed the […]
The tariff war and the price of an RV today

While most of the RVs in North America are built and sold right here in the U.S. (and Canada, to […]
