What RV should you buy?
Interested in RVing, but don’t know what type of RV to buy? Here’s an article that discusses the advantages and disadvantages of a motorized vs. towable RV. The first major decision that any prospective RV buyer has to make.
Propane vs. Electricity for heat?
Fulltime RVer has a post discussing the relative costs of using propane vs. electricity to heat your RV, assuming you have to pay for the electricity. He does a good job of comparing the numbers, but he didn’t consider if your rig has a heat pump, as ours does.
As I recall from my intro to thermodynamics, oh so many years ago, a heat pump typically runs 1.5 to 2.5 times more efficiently than electricity, depending on temperature difference between inside and outside. The heat pump is not turning electricity into heat, but using the electricity to move heat from outside to inside, so it can move more heat than the energy content of the electricity used.
Bottom line, the heat pump will probably almost always be more efficient except when temperatures drop down into the 30s or below.
Add Slide-Ups to those Slideouts
RVs in the News is reporting on a new travel trailer from Keystone that features a soft-sided room that adds a 6 foot second story. The comments are interesting (and predictable) as well.

Camping on the Beach
Rich in Tour of America posts about camping on the beach at Oceano Dunes, California.
There aren’t many places to do that, but you can at least drive on the beach in many places in Washington.
Note that kelli in Watch and Learn notes that that quiet beach turns into a super-highway on weekends.
