Winter RV Life: A snowstorm and a GREAT ski day at Discovery...
https://rvacrossamerica.net/discoskiday
I find myself enjoying Discovery Ski Area more and more! We recently got snow - and it made a BIG difference. Conditions improved, more terrain opened, and the "fabled" back-side of "Disco" opened - and boy did that open my eyes as to just have impressive (and massive) this ski area is.
Enjoy the video and be sure to visit the post. I welcome comments, thumbs up and new subscribers!

https://rvacrossamerica.net/winteranaconda
Like skiing uncrowded slopes? Typically good conditions (or better?) Anaconda, Montana is a great candidate to base your winter trip.
In my video I share a bit about the region, what a typical winter is like here, and what THIS winter has been like (to date.)
Discovery Ski Area has become a place I am growing to enjoy and respect. Great photos and some back story in my post here...

RV Travel and Bannack: One of the BEST Ghost Towns I've ever visited
https://rvacrossamerica.net/bannack
RV'ing and Ghost Towns seems to go hand-in-hand, and Bannack is incredibly well preserved. As you may imagine, there's a story behind that - and behind the former Territorial Capital of the Montana Territory.
Bannack is now a State Park and as such is preserved, protected, and VERY accessible to visitors. Most of the 50+ buildings are open to spend time in and allow your imagination to see life as the original residents saw it as early as the first winter in 1862-63 during President Lincoln's administration and the Civil War raging farther to the east.

Winter RV Travel Tips: Crossing Lost Trail Pass on SNOW AND ICE in October!!
https://rvacrossamerica.net/winterrvtraveltips
As the title says, I encountered VERY unusual road conditions after a MASSIVE snowstorm (for October) and a subsequent ARCTIC AIR outbreak.
I delayed my exit from Salmon Idaho for 24 hours to avoid the worst of it, but time came to "hit the road" for Wisdom, Montana. This video and its associated post detail my drive - a drive that Google said would take 1.25 hours but easily required twice that!
RV travel with a trailer in tow presents unique challenges for most drivers, but those challenges become potentially quite serious when the roads become ice and snow covered.
In 12+ years of RV life and RV travel, I've managed to avoid the kind of conditions I encountered on October 27 (not even anywhere near winter yet!!) on this most SPECTACULAR drive over Lost Trail Pass, join me...

The latest "blue book" RV Values were just released, and they tell a powerful story...
https://rvacrossamerica.net/autumnrvpricingupdate
Used RV's get revalued 6 times each year (every other month), the latest update by JD Power (formerly NADA) was VERY telling - and powerful. It's not good news for sellers.
I share the facts and my analysis, both in the video and in my post linked above. I hope you find it to be of value.

Buying an RV Camper? Learn from these RV buyers COSTLY mistakes...
https://rvacrossamerica.net/rvbuyingmistakes
A damning report on one RV manufacturer and what we can learn from this couples purchase of a new RV Camper.
They bought a Thor Tuscany 45mx - but WHAT they bought is NOT as important (to you and I) as how they handled things both BEFORE and AFTER the purchase.
I want to thank them (and Liz Amazing) for posting and sharing their story AND I want for us to learn from their experience. In my view, they made several mis-steps throughout the purchase process. Here's their story and my analysis...

The Red Cloud Loop on a SNOWY afternoon - October 12, 2023 - join me in my first "snowstorm" of the '23-24 season. Hopefully 1 of MANY to come!

RV Life on the road. Where I've been since I left my Soda Lake dry camping excursion. Rock Springs... Saratoga... and now Vernal (Utah), and soon... new horizons!
Saratoga is as always - great hot springs, good people, nice kayaking (in the Snowy's), and good access to Laramie for U Wyo football (and the food co-op natural food store!)
Enjoy - especially the Wy-70 video footage!

RV Dry Camping (Boondocking) 101 - How to set up YOUR RV Camper for extended off-grid camping
https://rvacrossamerica.net/boondocking101
I received requests from a few readers to show my actual components and connectors in my boondocking setup. In other words, they want to know the precise HOW I set up my system that has worked for me - with boondocking experiences of up to 3 weeks at a time (and frankly, I could have done double or triple that time!)
In this video, I share from my solar panels to the batteries, inverter, adapters, etc. how everything connects and ultimately produces the alternating current power I need to stay "off grid" for a truly extended period of time. (Not a bad thing to be prepp'd for considering... eh?)

Two weeks of boondocking and counting - still going strong, mostly on the power of my solar panels. I do have a generator and explain all in my post.
Soda Lake continues to be wonderful. The biggest problem I have is choosing which lake to paddle in each day!

Boondocking (RV camping) in the Wind River Mountains of Wyoming - A return to Soda Lake (Pinedale)
https://rvacrossamerica.net/soda23
I am *finally* back on the road. At 4.50/gallon for diesel.. we'll see for how long! Regardless, I made the trek from Rigby to Soda Lake, Wy. on 8/15/23 and have been here since.
Soda Lake is a return visit - for many reasons. Pinedale is a VERY habitable town, the lake affords great lake front site and kayaking opportunities (along with the other lakes in the region.)
Check out my post for details and information not covered in my video narrative.

RV Life: Independence in East Idaho - A Good Way of Life
https://rvacrossamerica.net/independence
RV Life takes you to many varied places. For the past few months, I've made Rigby, Idaho my home. This is "LDS Country" - and I've come to enhance my respect for mormons, their patriotism and their values.
July is the month we celebrate our Independence from the king - as sovereign citizens with inalienable rights, rights that are embedded in the lifestyle of east Idaho residents.
My video and post share celebrations from Rigby, Rigby (Jefferson) Lake, and Menan - with many (hopefully) inspiring photos.
Enjoy.

Summer RV Life in East Idaho - A Visit to Grand Targhee
https://rvacrossamerica.net/summerrvlife
East Idaho allows me to do something I could not do when I lived on the east coast... beat the heat by heading to high altitude! In just over an hour, I was able to drive from Rigby (elevation 4700 ft.) to Grand Targhee Ski Resort, in westernmost Wyoming and only accessible from Idaho.
Grand Targhee's base elevation is 8000 ft. and the Dream Catcher chair takes you to 9800 ft. in minutes. From there you can ride back down - or - hike down. I chose to hike - I have lots of inspiring photos and more in my post - linked above.
