For several years, we’ve been dreaming of a Yukon adventure, but various factors, including timing, have delayed our plans. The main obstacle, however, was technology-related. My job demands constant internet access. While I can manage with working 2-3 days a week, a reliable internet connection is a must.

During these hours, most people are away from their RVs, leaving the Wi-Fi largely free. I aimed to complete my tasks by 3 PM, the time when people usually r ..read more

This situation is quite familiar with concert tickets, and it’s also a source of frustration for RVers trying to live the RV Life due to “junk fees” at RV parks. You might visit a park’s website and think the cost per night is one thing, but when it’s time to pay, unexpected fees like “campground fees” or “reservation fees” pop up.

Airstream trailers are well-known for their distinctive design, but the 25-foot 1971 Avion travel trailer we are exploring today shares a similar aesthetic. Bill and Kim have impressively restored this classic model, a remarkable feat given its age and condition. Avion, established in 1956, produced aluminum trailers until 1990. Their designs were so similar to Airstream’s that a lawsuit ensued, which Avion won, highlighting the common practice of aluminum construction among various manufacturers like Spartan and Silver Streak. The restoration by Bill and Kim took three years, involving a me ..read more

CAMERON, N.C. (WNCN) — A woman and man were busted — and their young child was found — in an RV meth lab very similar to the hit TV show “Breaking Bad,” Lee County officials said Friday.
