I’ve been involved in RVing for over 50 years — including camping, building, repairing, and even selling RVs and motorhomes. I’ve owned, used, and repaired almost every class and style of RV ever made. I do all of my own repair work. My other interests include cooking, living with an aging dog, and dealing with diabetic issues. If you can combine a grease monkey with a computer geek, throw in a touch of information nut and organization freak, combined with a little bit of storyteller... you’ve got a good idea of who I am. To date, I've shared my RV knowledge in over 300 articles here at The Fun Times Guide! Many of them have over 25K shares.

When my wife and I headed out as fulltime RVers, we had 2 middle aged cats and a small dog. They were never a burden and many times they were the life of the party -- creating lots of fun memories. Here are my RV pet tips -- before you go RVing with a cat or a dog.

With an effective RV disaster plan, your ability to escape a rapidly spreading fire is greatly enhanced. For example, if there's a fire, smoke and toxic gases can leave you with mere seconds to get out! Here are some tips.

RV boondocking fans can greatly extend their RV battery life by converting to LED lights throughout their RV. Using less power means you run your generator less and you can get by with a smaller solar panel system. RV LED lights save you big money in the long run!

Most RVs use the same key for all outside storage compartments. The entrance door lock isn't much better when it comes to RV security. Keep this in mind, especially when storing your RV for the off-season. Never leave valuables inside.

You might think that RV jobs are hard to find, since you're moving from one place to another all the time. Here are 2 fun ideas worth considering: being a traveling RV Workamper, and transporting RVs for an RV dealer.

Once the RV is parked, you need a way to get around. Bicycles are good if you like the exercise. A scooter will get you farther, faster. Here are some things to consider.

Boondocking with your RV means you bring your own electricity. Portable RV generators make it possible to use all your electrical conveniences, no matter where you are.

How do full time RVers simplify their lives? They only take what they need! Full time RVing requires ridding yourself of excess baggage. There just isn't room to take it all with you. Here's how to simplify your life and make fulltime RVing even easier.

RVs make great portable temporary housing -- on the job site, when evacuating after a natural disaster, even when relatives come to visit!
