One of the surprises you don't want to get out on the road is to realize that there are items on your RV or trailer that are lower than your bumper...such as the valves on your dump.  When backing up your vehicle be sure to watch for railroad ties or other blocks that are often designed to set off an RV site. It's very easy to hit one of your dump valves and just the slightest bend in that valve can render them unusable.  Look below yo...
Before you back in to your site, don't forget to remove your anti-sway bar...first of all, with the sharp turns you make when backing up, you can damage your device..and secondly, it will impede the turns you want to make..finally, it often makes a lot of noise when you're trying to back up with it on that makes it sound like there's something wrong...so, first thing, before you start to back up..take off that anti-sway bar....

Bringing out the RV after having stored it for awhile can bring you some unwelcome surprises particularly inside the refrigerator.  Nasty, mold and mildew.  One of our neighbors here at Pismo Coast Village gave us a great tip. Before you shut the fridge door for awhile, prepare a solution, that is two tablespoons of bleach in two to three quarts of water.  Then, wipe down every inch of the refrigerator with the solution.  ...
With 400 sites and families gathering....At times here at Pismo Coast Village there can be close to a thousand people staying here...With all those people, what is amazing is how quiet it is..particularly in the evening...There is a written and unwritten RV law that it's quiet time after 10pm and it stays that way to at least 7 or 8 in the morning.  The only sound you generally hear after 10pm at Pismo Coast Village is the dominant sound...
Crank Up That Antenna!

RV'ers like to watch TV while they are on their road in their beautiful rigs.  It's rare when you don't stay in an RV park that doesn't have cable TV..but generally, it's fairly limited as compared to your Direct TV or Dish Network.  Of course, there's always the chance you are under a tree with that slick RV dish on the top of your rig.  We've seen more than one big rig extend one of those spare lit...

You know how it goes, sometimes you just gotta have some pizza.  Nothing else will do, no matter how hard you try to distract yourself.  And it's only worse when someone else in the car has the same mindset.   Rose and I were both struck in such a way after a quick Wal-Mart run.   I remembered seeing a small pizza place near the sushi place Ham and I visited several weeks ago so we thought we'd give it a try.

We wal...
For the first time in my life, I am an evacuee! 

You see those news stories all the time about people who have to "evacuate," and at 5am in the morning in Pismo Beach,  Pamela and I became one of them...

During the construction of our New Radio Star report for our morning radio shows on Thursday night,  we got the news flash there had been a massive earthquake in Japan...an 8.9, in fact. We immediately began monitoring the TV news ...
Couples who RV, quickly face a new definition of their relationship, whether they are full timers or just spend extended weekends together in their home on wheels.  It's one thing when they live in a big house with their own private get away spaces such as a home office or work room.  On the road, they are generally in one room that can range from 16 feet to 45.  Privacy and alone time is suddenly at a premium.  Recently, we ...
Before I became an RV'er, myself,  my picture of the RV'er was that it was grandma and grandpa, now retired, put a camper shell on the back of their pickup and went out to see the world they'd never been able to see because of being chained to work.  Wrong!...and Wrong again!  About the time I settle on a definition, someone like Flo of Hamburg, Germany pops up.  The only reason Flo and his family RV is because it's the easie...
