 Blazing Star Luxury RV Resort
The Blazing Star Luxury RV Resort provides a wealth
of positives and a few bothersome negatives. First and
foremost, it is Texas big. The interior roads are all
paved, as are the RV sites. The sites are mostly level,

They also have cabins for rent. It is located just a
couple of miles from Sea World on the west side of San
Antonio....

Top Ten Non-Essential Essentials To Take RVing
Ahhhhh. The cold of winter is finally gone, and it's time to dust off the camping gear for another summer of fun in the sun
- after you do a little happy dance, roll up your sleeves, and get to work because there's a lot to do.
The RV needs servicing and nearly everything from sandals to bedding has a layer of off-season ick that requires cleaning. You'll even have to make sure Rover gets all of his shots before you take him anywhere....

 Joel's Journal:
See the "Moonbow"
at Cumberland Falls State Park
Cumberland Falls is the "Niagara of
the South". The 125-foot curtain of
water falls 68 feet into the
Cumberland River below. When the
river is at flood stage, the width of the
falls can quickly expand to 300 feet,
making it the second largest waterfall
in the East by volume. But the real
attraction of Cumberland Falls is at
night, during a full (or nearly full) moon when you can see one of the truly awesome
sights in nature: a "moonbow," a rainbow effect by moonlight....

 Is An RV Right For You?
The truth of the matter is, an RV is simply not right for
everyone. Maybe you wouldn't use it enough to justify the cost,
or possibly, some member or members of your family can't
imagine themselves in an RV. Possibly, the idea of taking care
of an RV holds you back, so the decision-making process for
you has to include all of that and much more.....

 Baileyton RV Park
Baileyton RV Park is located at Exit 36 on Interstate 81 in northeastern Tennessee. My experiences at the park are limited to a one-night stay, but my impression is that the park is well run. One indication of how well the park is operated is that the owners live right in the park. Our site was about 20 yards from the owner's home....

Lessons From A Tow Dolly Newbie
After moving up to a 32-foot Class C from a much smaller Rialta (21 feet), we quickly
decided on the need to tow our car for increased mobility at our destinations.
Unfortunately for us, neither of the cars we currently own could be towed four on the
ground. That meant either a new car or a tow dolly. We opted for a tow dolly. Used tow
dollies are out there somewhere, but my searches didn't find anything close enough to
our home so I began looking at new ones......

 Crazy Gas Prices and Your RV
Given the current state of our federal government, there is little
chance that fuel prices will come down in the near future. So here we
are, owning vehicles that are less than fuel efficient and wondering

whether we use our RVs or not.....

 Cleaning Your RV Awning For $1
Our new Jayco Greyhawk RV has an electric awning, and while an awning can provide
needed shade and a good place to sit while grilling burgers or just people watching,
nobody wants to sit under an awning covered with mold, mildew and dead insects.
Unfortunately, my awning was becoming quite the eyesore with the aforementioned mold
spots all over. It was so bad my wife was embarrassed to extend the awning on a recent
trip to Gulf Shores, Alabama....

 Buying A New RV
After selling our 21-foot Winnebago
Rialta, we took a deep breath and for a
little while pondered the possibility of not
purchasing another RV. We thought about
insurance, parking fees, regular
maintenance, cleaning, payments, down
payment, and the high price of gas. We
considered the possibility of buying a new
car instead and staying in hotels when we
travel. ......
