My wife will be out of town, as per the usual, for her annual gambling trip with her cousin later this month, and on a whim, I decided to make a trip for myself as well. So, I booked a campsite at one of our usual stomping grounds...

Well, we're off for another weekend adventure with the camper for the second camping trip of the season soon to be on the books. Not a bad trek. The campground is only about 2 hours away near Indiana. We visited the campground on...

Well, that's it. The camper is in hibernation until next year. A couple of weekends ago we towed it to Camping World about an hour away to have it winterized, and just yesterday we went and picked it up, and now it's back in...

A possum checks out our wood supply

Judy Evans @JudyEv (381960) • Rockingham, Australia 18 Nov

We camped with our Bavarian friends in Dryandra forest not far from the farm where I grew up. We’ve camped there before and, once darkness falls, the little marsupials are likely to come visiting. Sure enough, once we’d settled...

Dr Souvik Chatterji @sathviksouvik (23240) 2 Nov

In the himachal pradesh and kashmir, in the Himalaya mountains many travellers like to do camping. There are a lot of hilly rivers across the valley. Travellers love to stay in the tents to hear the sound of the hilly rivers and...

Caravan Parks in Australia - Part Two

Judy Evans @JudyEv (381960) • Rockingham, Australia 6 Oct

Carrying on from my last post about caravan parks, in many areas there are places where you can ‘free camp’. In some you need to be self-sufficient meaning you have to have your own toilet, water supply and waste water storage...

Caravan Parks in Australia - Part One

Judy Evans @JudyEv (381960) • Rockingham, Australia 6 Oct

I haven’t given much thought about whether some of our members really understand or know much about caravan parks so I’m going to tell you a little about some of the ones we’ve been to. I hope I don’t sound condescending....

House Still Not Done

Loretta @noni1959 (13035) • United States 25 Sep

We still are not in a house. The foundation is finally in after a failed attempt of the cement truck trying to make it up the 20% grade driveway. They had to run several hoses up the driveway with crews working together. I was...

A Big Closing Adventure

Jim Bauer @porwest (112805) • United States 11 Sep

It's the last camp of the season for us, and very soon we'll begin prepping to have the camper winterized, and this year it looks like we will replace the tires. Last year they quoted me $700 for all four, which I thought wasn't...

There's Still Always Prep

Jim Bauer @porwest (112805) • United States 10 Sep

The camper we have is sort of "built in," when it comes to what's inside that we need. We keep clothes in there, for example. Towels and rags. The scissor legged grill is in the pass through. There are certain seasonings we keep,...

There's something fishy about these slip-ons

Judy Evans @JudyEv (381960) • Rockingham, Australia 1 Sep

We went BCF today. That’s a Boating, Fishing and Camping shop. We needed to get our gas bottle filled. We’re planning to go away in the motor-home next week, just for three nights but it’s better than nothing. The shop has...

My Setup This Morning

Jim Bauer @porwest (112805) • United States 25 Jul

Normally when we're in the camper, the Keurig is in the kitchen/living room area and I spend my time sitting at the dining table. We have a bunk room, and when we have guests, they generally choose to sleep in there. It's like...

Maybe I'll Give Y'all a Tour of the Camper

Jim Bauer @porwest (112805) • United States 24 Jul

Well, it's that time again to get out, hook up, and hit the road for another camping trip. We will be back on Sunday, and after this long battle getting a green pool to blue I am really hoping we come home to blue water. Ugh. In...
