Solar Panels for RVs????

Click HERE

What are solar panels?  They are basically flat material that is generally put on the roof of a house (or might work for an RV - why not try?) to save money on electricity bills.  From what I've learned about RVs, they take a LOT of electricity. 

Why not?  Solar Panels can be made for homes.  Why not check out this website and see if it would work for your RV?  Wouldn't you like to save money on electricity?  Also, some of you aren't full-time RVers, so you could use this on your house.  Why not use the natural renewable energy source called the sun that we receive (and many bask in whenever possible) each day to use for something that helps save money and helps the environment as well?!

So, looking at the photo above, if you use solar energy, you aren't CREATING man-made energy.  As we all know, natural energy is better for the environment.  The more natural, the better.  Not only will solar panels help your electricity bill and save the environment, making your own is a LOT cheaper than buying one.

I heard a couple of quotes that a retail solar panel can run between about $600-800 or, if installed, can be upwards of $20,000.  Why not save that money by doing it by yourself.  It could be a bonding experience with a child or spouse, or, some needed alone time. 

Let me know if I can help in any way of if you have any questions about this information.

RV Park Reviews - take two

Trailer Life RV Parks, Campgrounds, and Services Directory 2011
I already posted about one website a few months ago RVParkReviews.com, but I wanted to include some other websites that are similar, so to give you more options.
  • http://www.campgroundreport.com/ This website lets you choose a certain area in the United States to find an RV Park review and also lets you submit your own critiques of an RV Park at which you've stayed.  It has a simple, yet useful, design.  It also includes tent campground reviews.
  • http://rvbuddy.com/ This site also has tent camping as well as RV Park Reviews.  You can also rate the RV Parks at which you've stayed.  It is in blog form, with the posts about the RV Park sites reviewed on the left and the states to choose from on the right.  I like how it lets you just browse through the last sites reviewed or go to a certain state if you want.  You can also comment on the reviews if you agree or disagree to give other RVers your opinion.  
  • http://www.rvparking.com/ You can rate RV Parks, read reviews, find an RV Park and also read their blog.  This seems to be a website which has it all.
  • http://www.americaonwheels.com/ This site has an RV Park directory, place to review (rate) RV Parks, articles about full-timing/industry resources/trip planning and directions of how to get from point A to point B (trip planning).
  • http://www.rvshark.com/ This site has a very simple design, but basically has information about RV Parks and reviews for USA.  It advertises it also has reviews for RV Parks in Mexico and Canada, though I couldn't find that information.
  • http://www.gocampingamerica.com WOW!  This website appears to have it all.  It has RV Park Directory, Reviews, tent camping, stuff for kids to do, RV rental, park highlights, park events, photo gallery, products to buy, information for park owners and even a few destinations where they went. 
Happy hunting and hope that helped!

    Money making while RVing



    I just started a new website that talks about affiliate marketing (read next paragraph for more information) and also might help in finding what to get for those who are hard to buy for on your Christmas list.  There are many products to buy and some you can sign up to sell.  If you have access to the internet, or can find some at the RV Parks at which you stay, you can make money.

    I explain more of it on my website (on the first page- right hand side - third blue box down "Navigation" - second article down called "selling products you didn't create"), but many companies will pay affiliates to advertise their products.  Clickbank is the biggest company I know that you can just pick a product you'd be interested in telling others about (of course it's always best to buy the product first and test it out for yourself, but it's not necessary), sign up and start promoting.  Recently, I've been getting e-mails from some people who have been able to pull in 6-figures (I'm talking upwords of $200,000) a month by reviewing and promoting products.  I don't make that much - yet.

    However, if you're interested in learning more about it, I also have some articles throughout the website that you can learn more about it.  Feel free to comment on this blog post, or ask me questions through my e-mail (lpstarr@gmail.com) for more information.  If you would like to be a full-time RVer, or be able to STAY a full-time RVer, this is the simplest (not easiest - that would be the lottery) way I know of to make money where you don't have to go to school to learn and you can make money as you earn.

    The URL for my website (or you can click on the word "website" above) is: http://www.gincomes.com/7689
    Like I said before, feel free to contact me if you have questions.
