There’s a shift in the way we are traveling, a movement you could say. Perhaps it was due to the health implications of the past couple of years or maybe it started before that, as pushback from our busy everyday lives. The desire to slow down. To quite literally stop and smell the roses. In simple terms, it’s as small as taking the longer path

Camping is an exciting and fun way to spend time with family, but it can be hard for kids to wait for the trip. One way to make the time go by quickly and to build excitement is to count down the days to your camping trip with kids. There are many creative and fun ways to do this, such as making a countdown calendar, creating a scavenger hunt, or reading camping-themed books. These activities not only make the time pass quickly but also educate and involve kids in the planning process. Here are 20 fun ways to countdown to your next camping trip with kids and make the wait an exciting and memorable experience.

We all know we need to maintain our RVs to keep everything running smoothly and prevent a vacation-ending event from happening. For most of us, it’s easy to become overwhelmed when it comes to everything that needs to be done to keep all these moving parts shipshape. When NRVTA’s Todd Henson took the stage at the E3 Association National Conference all attention was on him to set the record straight on what we need to do and how to do it right.

A new RV purchase is very exciting and oftentimes overwhelming. Many people will tell you about all the immediate purchases you must make or upgrades you need to do in order to create the perfect rig. There’s no doubt we love our RV Lock, Anderson Levelers, and Level Mate Pro. But our favorite upgrades to our 2017 Heartland North Trail travel trailer are the things that make life inside a little more reliable and comfortable.

Earlier last month I had the amazing opportunity to attend and write about the E3 Association National Conference. If you’ve never heard of E3, I would highly encourage you to check them out. There are several divisions to E3, but our favorite, of course, is E3 Camping from co-founders Marc and Tricia of the ever-popular Keep Your Daydream. Jason and I have been founding members of E3 Camping since its launch and have found it to be a wonderful resource for RVers and campers.

E3 Association recently released a special edition digital magazine featuring just a few highlights from the conference and I am excited to share my contributions with my readers.

As the world begins to return to “normal” one thing we will soon see return is the RV show. It’s no secret by now that the RV industry is booming. More and more people are purchasing RVs than ever before and choosing the ultimate social distancing getaway by heading out camping. Once the RV shows begin to return there will be many new changes. These are just a few of the things you’ll need to know whether you are just browsing or if you plan on purchasing.

It’s easy to get caught up in the RVing dream especially when there’s so much inspiration everywhere you turn on social media and YouTube. But RVing can be overwhelming and it’s easy to make a few gaffes when you first start out. Though we had both grown up RVing, Jason and I made our fair share of mistakes when we got our pop-up and then a few more with our travel trailer. We still make mistakes now, but we understand that it’s all a learning game.

When we picture ourselves RVing it’s easy to get caught up in the ideal image of our RV parked next to a picturesque lake, sitting in a comfy chair with our favorite morning beverage, and listening to the bird’s sing. But for many people, it’s not always that simple. RVing can actually be the opposite of serene and relaxing. And sometimes it feels like you’re doing it wrong.

Do you decorate your RV like it’s your second home? If so, you might be looking for some new wall art. This printable is super cute and easy to hang!
