RV camping is a popular way to explore the great outdoors while still enjoying the comforts of home. RV stands for “recreational vehicle,” and these vehicles come in a variety of sizes and styles, from small trailers to large motorhomes. RV camping provides the flexibility to travel at your own pace, with the freedom to choose your own route and schedule. RVs typically have all the amenities of a home, including kitchen and bathroom facilities, sleeping areas, and entertainment options. Many RV parks and campgrounds offer full hookups for electricity, water, and sewage, as well as amenities like swimming pools, playgrounds, and hiking trails. RV camping allows travelers to experience nature up close and personal, with the ability to explore national parks, forests, and other natural areas. However, RV camping also requires some preparation and planning, such as obtaining proper permits, researching campground options, and ensuring that the RV is properly maintained and equipped. Despite the preparation required, RV camping can provide a unique and memorable outdoor adventure for those who love to travel and explore.
This is a trip that Carey took for Habitat for Humanity. It was a build with a group called the RV Care-A-Vanners which is similar to Habitat’s Global Village, only it’s within the US and for people with RV’s. There were 7 of us in the group and most of our time was spent painting two duplex homes in Hobbs.
I took the camper and drove to Oracle, AZ to join fellow RVF’ers in a working rally to help fix-up a YMCA camp in conjunction with the Tuscon, AZ Rotary Club. The trip was a success and four of us even got to go zip-lining on Sunday afternoon.
We traveled over 5,000 miles, 4,800 by truck and RV, then a flight to Churchill, Manitoba to see polar bears in their native habitat. The weather was cold most of the time, but it made the experience even better. We also visited 7 US national monuments going there and on the way home. Great trip. The tour with Fantasy RV tours began at the International Peace Gardens at the North Dakota/Manitoba border and ended in Winnipeg. We traveled with 36 other people on the tour.
This was an RV trip to attend the annual RVF rally in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. We took Donna’s parents with us, dropped them off at her brother Steve’s home, then drove to Toronto. After that we toured the Bruce Peninsula, including Flowerpot Island. We then drove north skirting the US/Canada border, arriving in Michigan, where we camped near the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. After that we drove back to PA, stopping at Cuyoga Valley National Park in Ohio. We returned home on the traditional route (Interstate 81, 40, 30, 20, 10). The total trip covered 7,000 miles over a 4-week period.
We co-hosted the RVF Rally at the 2017 Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta with Bob & Betty Traister & Bill & Linda Jo Hendron. What an incredible adventure – we witnessed the mass ascension of over 500 balloons on two separate days. We camped at the Enchanted Trails campground near the event and had great fellowship with our other 29 RVF campers.
We took the camper and headed west to Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument where we stayed for 3 nights. We enjoyed hiking and listening to the ranger talks at night. From there we drove to the RVF Rally in San Diego at the Chula Vista RV Resort. We had a great time with our fellow RVF friends.

Charlie & Barb joined us on this trip. On the way we visited cousins in Cincinnati as well as kids and grand-kids in York, Lebanon, Reading and Harrisburg, PA, then more kids and grand-kids in Mableton, GA. We camped in various campgrounds along the way where Charlie had an opportunity to fish, and we had time to do some sightseeing. We had a fun trip and it was great to see family again.
We traveled with our camper to the ghost town of Goldpoint, NV to join our fellow RVF’ers for a fun 3-day rally, then onto Yosemite National Park for two nights, camping at Toulumne Meadows Campground. After that we headed west to Chowchilla, CA to join another group of RVF’ers for a 3-day rally in that area. We visited several ghost towns and abandoned mines when in Nevada and had the opportunity to see how almonds and pistachios are harvested and packaged during our visit to Chowchilla.
We traveled with our camper to Platte City, MO to join the Rotary RVF group for the annual rally. On the way we dropped Donna’s parents off at her sister’s house in Denison, TX. While camping at the rally, we enjoyed visiting several museums in Kansas City, MO, including the national World War I Museum, Hallmark Museum, Arabia Steamboat Museum, Union Station and Crown Plaza, and the Harry S. Truman Presidential Library & Museum. It was an interesting and educational trip. Good time with fellow Rotarians at the rally.
