Opinion — A Class C RV really was my best buy

Why I chose what I did when making my RV decision Okay, so everyone’s situation is different but in my humble opinion my Class C was definitely the best way to go based on what I’ve seen around me in my travels. Here’s why. First, my experience with camping and RVing: Went with parents in...

Needles KOA Journey, Needles, CA

Last time I was in Needles, I stayed for a week at another RV Park by the river but this time, I was just going to stay for a quick overnight and needed a pull-thru so I booked here. It's not by the river but there is a quick view of a piece of the...

Tucumcari KOA Journey, Tucumcari, NM

Tucumcari has some fun places to check out when you are passing through, including iconic Route 66 motels and museums. Last time I was here, I stayed at a picturesque historic RV Park called Cactus RV Park that, unfortunately, ended up going the way of many of the original Route 66 businesses and was sold...

Lubbock KOA, Lubbock, TX

I was just traveling through and needed a convenient place with a pull-thru for the night. It appeared that I was the only over-nighter with the majority of spaces taken with long-term workers. However, it seemed clean and quiet and there weren't any piles of stuff laying outside or a junky look at all. Most...

Edgewood RV Community — Midwest City, OK

This lovely long term RV park is off the radar, which is why I didn't know about it the first two years I summered in OKC while visiting my son. In my third year here, I decided to go outside the box with my search because I wasn't happy with the other parks I'd found...

Long Term Stays in Your RV

I spent the first two years with my new Class C motorhome about the same way I’d been tent and truck camper camping before buying it. We would pack everything up for a trip, load up, and then take three to six days somewhere relaxing and less crowded for a short vacation, always returning to...

Sea Rim State Park, Sabine Pass, Texas

I love the gulf and when friends said they were coming here for two days and wanted to know if I wanted to join them, I jumped at the chance. This is a small state park, mostly pull-thru sites, with water and electricity. Don't be discouraged as you pass all the oil refineries on the...

Cat Entertainment On The Road

When I decided to sell the house and go full time in my small 24' Class C motorhome two years ago, I was a little concerned about kitty. Oslo had just turned 7 and had spent most of his life outdoors because he prefers to sit outside in the garden than be in the house....
