This is a blog about everything RV, but mostly about everything about the life experience. We will blog about RV maintenance tips adventure travel, RV campsites, weight loss challenges, info for potential RV buyers, RV dealerships, and hotel reviews. We will have information on products and ultimately have our own product line. Our goal is to educate the reader on areas of skepticism and make clear the question many RVers and potential RVers may have.

My first campsite, and travel adventure in my new RV
I still remember the day we loaded up in our RV to start out on our first trip. I remember checking in, and then going to the spot selected by the receptionist. Right away there were people there so friendly helping me back in. I remember my wife helping me plug in, putting the jacks down, connecting the hoses, and finally letting out the slides. From the inside we connected the cable up with the parks cable system and we were settled in. I pondered if I had connected the sewer hoses correctly, if the jack were set appropriately, if the slides were all the way out. The excitement in the RV was on 10.
On the way going to my destination, I remember stopping to gas up. Man, it was more fuel than anticipated, but nothing could deter my excitement. I remember trying to get used to steering the vehicle as cars, and trucks literally flew past me. I also remember swerving a few times as I tried to stay within the lanes. I loved the feeling of sitting high in the seat of my RV(I have a sign sitting on my dashboard that reads, "YES I DO OWN THE ROAD". I remember pulling in to a particular gas stop, feeling as though I had mastered driving my RV and damaging the cargo door on the drivers side. OH!! I was disappointed to see my brand new rig with damage on the side. I could see cars passing by looking at the damage to my rig that I caused. Non the less we continued on our journey. During our first trip at the park, people were so friendly and helpful. Now Ive got to be honest with you, me being a minority in the RV industry it was very different from what I was used to. It was a loving helpful community of individuals at the time that did not see anything negative, but just to lend a helping hand. In fact, in my many but limited experiences camping, the same love has been shown to me everywhere I have traveled. Our first trip was a business trip, so it was not long, and we did not get a chance to really get our feet wet so to speak. But it was long enough to formulate some opinions about camping.
1. I love camping
2. No experience is the same
3. I always meet good people
4. Many of the people I have met are wealthy
5. Every campsite has something different to offer campers
6. We always try to eat out away from the camp.
I have nothing but positives when it comes to camping.
But, I would prefer being on concrete over being on dirt/grass.
Nothing but memories for the camping situations I have encountered. I would recommend it to those that I know, and those looking to break into the camping lifestyle.
