Hello Fellow RV’ers.
We just bought our new “Traveling Home” and are excited about getting out to see the country. Wife is retiring in a couple of months and have been looking forward to getting out to enjoy “Our Time” together and see the country, wherever that may take us!
We are in Idaho and would like to start with a couple of relatively short distance trips to get use to the new home. We have owned a 5th wheel in the past but it was a much smaller one. We also currently own a 27 foot “Bumper Pull“. It has been great, but it’s not really “Livable”. Great for weekend camping/hunting trips but decided that if we are going to be spending months at a time, that we needed something a little more comfortable.
That said, we are looking for any Tips, Tricks and suggestions to make life on the road simpler and more enjoyable. Looking for destination suggestions on the west side of the continental divide to start with.
We purchased a 41’ 5th wheel so parking it is going to be a little bit more limited than I am use to but as long as we plan in advance...
Also looking for feedback on any of the multitude of RV publications to consider. Don’t want to spend hundreds of $$ on subscriptions that I may never use so I will gladly take any suggestions.
One of our first trips is probably going to be to the Grand Canyon and would like input for specific things we should look for, inexpensive places to camp…
I have also heard that there is a Hot Air Ballon festival in Arizona, but don’t know when or where. Does anyone have any information or suggestions about that?
Thanks in advance and hope to meet some of you out there across this big, wide, beautiful country.
