This site is dedicated to helping all RV’ers and researching, reporting and compiling reports on money saving projects along with tech tips, technology tips, RV maintenance and related articles. I am currently in the central valley of Calif. My goal as it’s always been is to help fellow future, and current Full-timers and RV'ers in general. Look for more special RV and camping projects, helpful hints and tricks, RV accessories and modifications at a big savings.
After many requests over the lest few years I have finally finished my long awaited eBook of my 6 years on the road and it is now available for purchase (see below). I have also condensed all my Tech Tips into my new Tech Tip eBook (see below). I will add to it as more projects come along. This was necessary due to the tremendous amount of traffic and downloads/bandwidth. The price is very reasonable and if you buy my regular eBook “Adventures of the Firedude” I’ll email you the Tech Tip eBook FREE. It’s got over 40 pages of money saving projects for all and all buyers will be notified of update and receive free copies as it is updated! !
As usual my blog will contain my daily adventures and antics for your viewing pleasure. Due to the huge amount of traffic and bandwidth my site now gets it was necessary for me to purchase a dedicated server and line in order to have more control over things and handle the load. Enjoy the site and safe travels!
I
have recently received many requests asking the simple question “can you make
money while on the road?”The simple
answer is yes. It of course all depends on you.Making
money on the road isn't as hard as it may seem. If you have a product
or to offer all you need is a have a website and a good Afilliate
program. I've done it. Many have. You don't even have to be on the road
and works just as well as a home based business! It takes a bit of
work, but the work pays off. For me I've been able to support my
dedicated server and line and manage to have a few extra bucks left for
things like replacing my printer, fuel and other things. It all depends
on you and if you have the energy to make it fly. It's not very
difficult. Making money on the road is a great way to supplement your
income especially if you are on a tight budget already!.Read myfull article here !

move, remove or shift to maintain a safe RV. It also calculates and recommends the correct pressure for the axle weights.
* RVer’s Notebook lets you keep text of anything you like and/or pictures in your scrapbook.
* Campground ratings and beneficial notes, along with pictures, are easily kept for future reference.
* Expenses are entered using a familiar check book style form that changes design based on the type
of expense.
* An Event Planner (Calendar) is provided to keep up with RV meetings or that special rally you don’t want to miss.
* Maintenance records for your RV,Vehicle and Generator that keep up with who performed the service, what the service was, when it was done and how much it cost.

While in Wilsonville, Or. at Pheasant Ridge RV Park a few years ago I
met another full-timer who had a Keystone Everest and showed me some
insulation he had added. He said it made quite a difference in both
cooling and heating of the coach. Now that I have done it I can see
why. He had taken a styro-foam insulation and had placed it in the
ceiling of his basement between the aluminum floor rails/studs. I took
it one step further and also removed the cheap 1/4" cotton bats of
insulation betwen the belly pan and tanks and replaced it as well.
Below I describe what I did....
Here
is a picture of the basement ceiling before the insulation. You can see
the aluminum floor braces and the plywood flooring, I first measured
the voids where the insulation would go then cut them slightly
over-sized and then wedge them in.
