To me the term "RVing" always meant loading the RV and hitting the open road for another adventure in the RV. That changed a little when we purchased an RV lot on the NC coast last year. We bought a used 5th wheel trailer to put on the lot and we added a 10' X 20' screened enclosure. It's like having a small apartment at the beach. This is a new type of "RVing" for us. It's only a 90 minute drive from our house and we really enjoy spending time there. It's like having the best of both worlds. If we want a relaxing weekend to just unwind we head to the beach trailer, and when wanderlust hits us we load up the RV and hit the open road.

It took a while but warmer weather and camping season are finally upon us. Last month I de-winterized the RV and went through my spring checks. Afterwards we took the RV on a shake-down trip to the spring Auto Fair at the Charlotte Motor Speedway. While there I remembered that our TV antenna had some issues going up and down (something I missed during my spring checks) so when we got home I decided to update it with a new HD digital RV antenna. Be sure and read this month's feature article to see how the antenna installation went. With warmer weather ahead it's time to prep your RV, plan some RV trips and go have some fun! If you did not prepare your RV for this year's camping season you can go to last month's article for ideas on what to check. ...

When you prepped your RV for winter storage you most likely winterized the water system and performed some preventive and routine maintenance on other components like batteries, tires and the exterior. Now, after the RV sat in storage for a period of time we need to get it ready to hit the road again. This month's feature article will concentrate on some post-winter checks that I feel are essential to getting the RV ready for the road. ...

March moves us one step closer to another fun and adventure packed RV camping season. The weather is still unpredictable, so it might be too soon to start our RV spring preparation tasks but planning RV trips is not out of the question ...

For some RV owners February can be a bit dismal. It's extremely cold and in many regions the snow is piled so high you couldn't use your RV if you wanted to ......
