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.

If you plan on leaving your RV in Arizona more than 6 months, then you need to register your RV in Arizona. It's the law.

RV shows are a great place to get acquainted with what's available in the world of RVs. Here are some things you should know before you attend your first RV show.

RV tires that sit in storage for long periods become weak -- especially if they've been exposed to the sun much of that time. Even though they may look fine, at highway speeds your RV tires can disintegrate and cause an accident.

Winterize Your RV

Just like the RV water system, your RV batteries need to be winterized to prevent expensive damage.
