https://rvacrossamerica.net/RVOutlookmid23 Thinking of buying a RV Camper? Selling a RV Camper? Here's my "up to the moment" take on the state of the RV industry. What's selling, what's not, what you'll pay book (or over book value for) and what you can get for FAR under book... and WHY. #rvindustry #rvlife #rvsales #rvbuyingadvice #rvsellingadvice #rvbuyingtips #rvsellingtips

https://rvacrossamerica.net/rvtravelermedicare Next month (July 2023) I turn 65. In preparation for this landmark, I started the process of enrolling in Medicare in April. I needed to learn about "Parts A, B, D", Advantage plans, Supplemental plans, medigap, plans G and N and more. I created this video and post to try to make sense of the entire range of options and share my process through which I arrived at the best Medicare plan(s) in my view (and I'm NOT an expert) that make sense for RV travelers. #rvlife #rvttravel #medicare #medicarefortravelers #rvmedicare

https://rvacrossamerica.net/wyomingspring After an epic winter featuring the biggest snowstorm EVER in parts of the state and tons of snow (literally) across the mountains and ski resorts, this springs prolific rains have created a very unusual lush and marshlike scene across much of Wyoming! I traveled in early June from East Idaho to Casper and took a number of inspiring photos and some brief video seen here. I welcome your thoughts and comments.

https://rvacrossamerica.net/idealrvkayak Kayaking is one of my summer passions. The Aquaglide Deschutes 110 simply enhances the experience! As an experienced RV'er, living full time in my camper, I appreciate anything that provides fun and when not in use doesn't use up much storage space! The Aquaglide Deschutes 110 answered the call for me! Visit my post for a 15% discount on any Aquaglide kayak you'd like to experience and enjoy. And... get an update on life in East Idaho this summer (and on the RV industry as we head into the summer of 2023.)

https://rvacrossamerica.net/lithiumrvbatteryguide Ever considered "upgrading" to lithium batteries? Have you wondered if all lithium batteries are the same? If they are simply "drop in and go"? If there are downsides to lithium and reasons to stay with older technologies? My video and article cover all these questions about lithium batteries AND MORE - like emerging technologies that MAY render lithium batteries outdated before they even take hold with most rv'ers for their campers. I also explain (in my article) the difference between the troublesome lithium batteries for vehicles and lithium batteries for RV campers (motorhome house batteries and trailer batteries.) #lithiumrvbatteries #lithium #lithiumupgrade #rvlife #rvtravel #rvbattery

https://rvacrossamerica.net/rvlife2023 Your RV can be a KEY to your and your families survival with what may be coming our way across the nation. There are several factors you may wish to consider when purchasing your camper - and - how to outfit it BEFORE the need arises. I get into storage and availability of water, producing your own electric, the importance of electric, storage of (and production of) food, medicines, and more. #survivalinyourrvduringacrisis #rvlife #rvtravel #crisissurvival

https://rvacrossamerica.net/rigbyrvtravel As the most amazing ski season of my life draws to a close, I hooked up my 5th wheel at Mountain Shadows RV Park in Draper, Utah and headed to a far more rural location in SE Idaho. There were still 2 days of spectacular skiing - at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort - days that would enable me to "test my progress" by skiing one of the (clearly) toughest mountains in the nation, and skiing terrain that was really "above my head" when I instructed there in 2020. RV Life in SE Idaho - its a good place to be! Enjoy the video and the related post at https://rvacrossamerica.net/rigbyrvtravel

https://rvacrossamerica.net/skislc RV Life in the Salt Lake Valley - Spending an entire Winter - and Skiing the IKON Pass. Thoughts on the region, the ski resorts, the IKON Pass and MORE. A Winter with nearly 50 days at Solitude, Brighton, Alta, Snowbird, Snowbasin and Deer Valley. Incredible glades, steeps, canyons, and more... Oh, and the BEST snow on Earth! Utah's Wasatch Mountains. #rvlife #ikonpass #winterRV #skiandrv

https://rvacrossamerica.net/brinkley Brinkley is a new 5th wheel builder - and I'm favorably impressed (with some significant reservations) with their first efforts. As you may know, I'm a full time traveler in a 5th wheel and live in extreme cold in the winter - so when it comes to 5th wheel rv campers, I have high standards. Brinkley after my initial inspection of them MAY stand up - but some changes are warranted. Read my full review with extensive photos for details. https://rvacrossamerica.net/brinkley

https://rvacrossamerica.net/rvshow The RV show is a great place and time to purchase a brand new RV camper... OR IS IT?? (Hint: NO!! Don't buy at an RV show!) Hype and nonsense - that is my main take away from the RV show. So, in preparing my post, I thought about what would be MOST valuable to YOU my RV lifestyle and RV life readers/viewers. And then I set about taking photos - Photos of what you CAN see that leaves telltale signs that the camper you're considering may not be "all that" and in fact should be avoided. Of course, there's also the "hidden" features - whats inside the walls, how well is it constructed, the chassis, etc. Those are issues I address with my Concierge RV Buying Clients. (rvAcrossAmerica.net/buysell) Anyway, check out my post, and please do let me know your thoughts.

https://rvacrossamerica.net/healthupdate From a heart attack in February 2019, just 4 years ago to achieving perhaps the best physical condition in my life (or at least in the past 45 years.) All this while living in my 5th wheel RV (camper) as a traveler. Here's my story about making some MAJOR changes in my life - JUST over the past few months and I have SIGNIFICANT results to share. Why am I sharing changes in MY health? Well, perhaps a few of you care - but - MANY may find that the health challenges I've faced are the VERY SAME that YOU have faced. In short, I sought insights and advice, took action, and the results speak for themselves! YOU can do it too when you see what I've done. I also update you on this winters SKIING, the IKON pass and much more that is RV related. Incidentally... I'm skiing better than I EVER have in my entire life - now at the young age of 64. In my video, and on my post, I talk about metabolic syndrome, obesity, high blood pressure, insulin resistance, and overall dietary improvements. The picture for ALL of which can change QUICKLY and without a staggeringly difficult diet. #rvlife #rvlifestyle #metabolicsyndrome #insulinresistance #obesity #highbloodpressure

https://rvAcrossAmerica.net/skiseasonbegins Opening day at Solitude on 11/11/22 - and now 3 weeks later, conditions are genuinely "mid-winter" as near record snow has fallen in the Wasatch Mountains just outside of Salt Lake City! Not only is this great for the ski industry, but if it continues, it spells good news for lakes and water supplies in this region come spring and summer. https://rvAcrossAmerica.net/skiseasonbegins

https://rvacrossamerica.net/hitch Ever wonder what goes into selecting and installing a 5th (fifth) wheel hitch into a truck? In my post, video, and photos, I try to demystify the process, provide some guidance on what choices I made when it came to hitches and hitch prep by the truck manufacturer and WHY I made those choices. Further, I share a (rare) GEM I found in Vernal, Utah - a RV dealer with a superior repair/installation crew and honest owners whom I respect - Esquire RV of Vernal, Utah.

https://rvacrossamerica.net/ford It took 11 months - but its here! Better fuel mileage, quieter, better turning radius - and - very soon I'll be testing its ability to tow my 15000 pound 5th wheel trailer. I designed this truck to be a powerhouse for 5th wheel towing... come see the choices I made and more. In this video I talk about towing ANY type of trailer (travel trailer, fifth wheel) and what YOU need to do it safely... #FordF350 #TrailerTowingTips #FifthWheelTowingTips

https://rvacrossamerica.net/saratoga22 Travel from Vernal Utah to Saratoga Wyoming - and basically a step back from mid-Spring to late-winter/early-spring! Two snowfalls between May 20 - 23rd, nights down to 19F, but... you can't beat the hot springs here in Saratoga AND the life at "the lake" - see photos and narrative at rvacrossamerica.net/saratoga22 Saratoga has become a regular stop of mine. I like it here - great town, great people.

https://rvacrossamerica.net/bunkers Are you a RV traveler? You'll encounter some weird places as you criss-cross our nation - and the bunkers - is definitely one of the weirder ones!

https://rvacrossamerica.net/trike The time has come for a trike - and I LOVE it. Here's how I selected the ideal trike for my needs; who I ended up buying from; and... how I transport it with my 5th wheel.

https://rvacrossamerica.net/bordervisit After a winter in Texas, I decided to head for the border - if only for a few hours. What I saw was both SHOCKING and EYE OPENING.
