Camping is fun and easy. Common sense and a little knowledge are all that you need. Be prepared and start with the basics.
Does the cost of travel have you wondering if you can afford to take your family on a vacation this year? Then you might want to consider a camping trip. State parks, national parks, and national or state forests make great camping destinations.
When you need good, first hand information the natural thing to do is to talk to someone with personal experience. There are tons of resources for RVers: Magazines, books, outlets like Camping World, and many, many RV websites.
While these may not answer your specific questions there are many RV forums you can join that are ideal for asking questions and getting quick answers. These groups have members from all RV backgrounds who, collectively, possess volumes of knowledge about any type of RV, RV problem and RV solution. Each forum offers a wonderful opportunity to begin making lifelong friends.
