We do live in a small world and the internet makes it even smaller. I just read where a fellow camper recently camped at one of my favorite camp grounds and had a very similar encounter as mine. This led to me pull out my own story from the archives.

Yes it was the spring of a couple years ago when my wife and I camped at Lake Cowan in Ohio and I had my own close encounter. I left the some of the Hummer doors open while I transferred food and clothes to the...

If your in the market for a used RV, the most important thing you can do, is DO YOUR HOMEWORK!

A used RV, much like a vehicle, will have depreciated in value, even if its less than a year old and hardly used. That's not great news if your selling one, but it is great new is your a potential buyer.

You should take the time to go over a used RV/Camper with a fine toothed comb, regardless if its at a dealer or individual.

Typically you will get some kind of...

Fun Facts about S’mores

Posted 07-18-2008 at 09:38 PM by merrystrong

I love s’mores… more than I probably should. To this day, every time I eat one I’m magically taken back in time to my Girl Scout day camp days. This yummy snack is truly a camping tradition.

S’mores have evolved at bit, since way back when. I was actually quite surprised to learn they have been in existence since 1927, the year the recipe first appeared in the Girl Scout Handbook.

These days many new and sometimes crazy ingredients have been added to the basic...

A Cool Picnic Cooler

Posted 07-16-2008 at 12:14 PM by merrystrong

I’m currently in search of a new picnic cooler. It won’t be a replacement cooler. I’m looking for an extra one. (I’ve come to the conclusion that you can never have too many coolers, especially on a camping trip.)

A cooler like this would also be great for the beach, tailgate parties,...

Thanks to a fellow camper Ron and Peco Campers, I’ve gotten a chance to see the new décor that Fleetwood has for the Evolution series.

I can only speculate if the rational for the change was cost reduction or customer feedback. Yes I know...
