New RVers: Although summer’s well under way and many RVers have already hit the road, we don’t think you can ever get enough good travel-planning advice – especially if you’re a newbie. Check out Prepping Your RV for the Road to be sure you’re on track. While you’re at it, jump-start your RV wish list with recommendations from Essential RV Products.

RV Living: This is our most popular section, and we’re going to be adding lots of new features. First up, articles about cooking on the road are soon to be added which will include a series on regional and seasonal dishes and recipes. Also on the dock are keeping your kids and grandkids entertained (and educated) as well as green travel and green technology (because we know you love this).

And More: Look for coverage of quirky festivals and seasonal events, reviews of some truly unique RV parks, RV travel posts from the road, and lots more how-to and troubleshooting tips. Get involved today. Start by checking out The RV Doctor Is In video series in which technical guru Gary Bunzer answers questions submitted by RVers.
