Welcome to our 2nd Weekly Round up of the latest RVing and camping tips from across the web. Every week we choose five great articles or blog pieces from across the web and highlight them. If you have an article you would like us to highlight, contact us.
How to Build the Perfect Fire
Clint Carlson from 50campfires.com shows us how to build the perfect fire everytime in his How Do I Build a Campfire post [tweet this]. Not only it is hot (I know…bad pun!) with great tips, but breaks down each step in a YouTube video. Clint mentions the importance of having tinder, kindling and your fuel logs. The video and article was short, simple and very useful. As we live in Florida, I would only add that in my experience palm tree bark makes great kindling as well! Thanks Chris for a great video. It gave great “fuel” for this weeks weekly round up!
Staying Fit while Traveling
Nomadic Matt is one of the most experience traveler and owner of the popular blog nomadicmatt.com. Though, I don’t think he does much traveling in a RV, this video interview, How to Stay Fit and Healthy on the Road, with Steve Kamb from NerdFitness is perfect for any avid RVer. They touch on many struggles and excuses many of us travelers use for not staying fit while traveling. I really liked Steve’s Rule Of 2 that insures he keeps up his fitness habits. The video is around 30 minutes long. If you can’t watch the whole thing, don’t worry, they put the highlights in the blog post below! [tweet this]
Breaking Camp…the Right Way
Have you ever had that feeling in the back of your mind that you forgot something when you broke camp? Curtis Carper in The Ultimate RV Camping Checklist: Don’t Forget To Do These Things Before You Leave Camp! [tweet this]shows us the importance of going through a checklist before breaking camp. He points us to several pre-made checklists for download or to check out ourselves. I think the best advice he gave was to make your own list. Every RV is different after all. Thank you, Curtis for this reminder!
The Newest in Class B RVs
Our friends over at RV trader recently highlighted the brand new Travato by Winnebago in their post, Introducing the New Travato. It’s really an amazing Class B motorhome. They have thought it out quite well. RV Trader does a great job pointing out the most important features like the new Ram ProChassis, LED lighting throughout and the new bed that simply folds up when you aren’t using it! This RV really gets me into the RVing mood. Thanks RV Trader for keeping us up to date with the latest! [tweet this]
Mike and his Wife Decorate Their Roadtrek
Mike and Jennifer, from Roacktrecking.com just recently posted their experience at the biggest Christmas shop in the US! They also included a video of their trip. It was a great watch and really gets you in the spirit of Christmas. In their post, Decorating the RV for Christmas, Mike lets the workers at Bronner’s decorate the RV for him. Mike has been a journalist for years and is shows in the quality of his stories and the way he engages with his viewers. [tweet this]
