Summertime and RVing is easy

Summertime
Title of this post used words of a song from this



 

I have taken a long break from this blog and now that it's summertime, it's time to get started again.  It is now past Memorial Day weekend, which, according to the National Parks and Recreation Association, is officially the beginning of summer.

I figured I could start the summer reminding us all of some great websites that can help with our summer RV plans (or dreaming of summer RV plans as the case may be).

RV Camping with Woodalls.com - WOW!  This has a lot of great information, including (there is much more, so don't think this is all - I'm just including some highlights): RV Camping, Tent Camping, Family Camping, Tips for RVing, Places and Parks RVers must see this month, their own blog, Browse RV Camps by state.  Go check it out - I'm sure you'll find something you're wanting.

Campgrounds from Woodalls.com
- Same as above and also a place you can enter a sweepstakes for voting for your favorite North American Campground as well as register for their Diamond Club which gives you many benefits for free.   I also noticed a Rally - The "Greatest RV Event in the World."  If you're interested in socializing with RVers, why not check out this RV event?!

RV Parks from TrailerLifeDirectory.com -This is Woodall's partner site. It is also the Official Directory of the Good Sam Club, which means that you can find many RV Parks that are featured as well as top rated Good Sam RV Parks across the nation.  For those of you who may not know what the Good Sam Club is, there is also an explanation on the website.  You can also make online reservations as well as take virtual tours.  You can learn about what's happening in RV news.  There are plenty other things you might be interested in on the site, and it's definitely worth a look (if not a bookmark, tweet or post on Facebook).



Sorry it's so short, I've gotta get back into the swing of things.  Let me know what else you'd like to know information about this summer.

My Other Blogs - dun, dun, dunnnn

I have a Squidoo blog and a HubPages blog as well as this one. There are different things on all of them. If interested or just curious, my Squidoo page is: www.squidoo.com/skaggsrv and my HubPage is: www.HubPages.com/hub/rvparks

I made the Squidoo page and the HubPage as more ways to get the word out to the RV community. The reason I'm doing all 3 blogs, besides what you see in the "about me" section is to benefit the world in my own little way. I want to help RVers and aspiring RVers to get the information, humor, opinions they want/need all in one place. I want to have a different take on things or put different information, so I can find those who connect with the way I present information.

All 3 blogs have different information presented a little differently, so feel free to keep tabs on all of them. I update at least one of them 6 days a week (I still hold the belief that the Sabbath is for God and worship of Him - and always will).  Either that or I will create more hubs and lenses, depending on what I decide will work best.

RV - Which type are YOU?


If you scored:
15 You're more like a Class "A" RV
10-14 You're more like a Class "B" RV
5-9 You're more like a Class "C" RV
0-4 You're more like a Travel Trailer
-5 to -1 You're more like a Camper
-10 to -6 You're more like a Toy Hauler/Sport Utility RV
-15 to -11 You're more like a Fifth Wheel
-20 to -16 You're more like a Park Model home

Class “A” RV – You’re large and in charge. You like being in control. Yet, you also like being pampered and taken care of by others. You are very competitive and like to be in the lead. You also like to take care of what you own because you like the feeling of ownership. You may not tell anyone, but you want to be respected, and maybe a little feared, by others.

Class “B” RV – You like family togetherness. Unity is more important to you than being in the lead. You would rather have people around you and be crowded (like eating at a table) than have anyone feel left out of the party. You want people to like you, but you don’t want to stand out from the crowd. Helping others is a high priority in your life.

Class “C” RV – You like to travel, but you don’t want to take up too much space doing it. You are a little old-fashioned and environmental. You like the feeling of being out in nature more than you like the feeling of being home sometimes. You like to venture out and do new things, but are a little reserved rather than adventurous. While traveling, you spend more time outside of your RV than in it. You use your RV for the basics, but are off to explore most of the vacation.

Travel Trailer – Others might call you a follower, and you like it that way. You like to see what the world is all about in a controlled environment. You like to spend time in nature, if everything is safe. You observe the world from your safe place, and if you find it is to your liking, you explore your surroundings. You like to stay put at times, even if your friends or family are urging you to step out of your comfort zone.

Camper – You change your mind often. First you like one thing, then you want another. You are very outgoing, but want to make sure it’s safe. You don’t like being alone, and will sometimes do things with others you don’t really like just so you won’t have to be alone. You have a very strong personality when around others, but when on your own, you aren’t quite sure who you are or what you stand for.

Toy Hauler/ Sport Utility RV – You like to play. There’s no doubt about that. You work hard, but play harder. You just try to find the biggest thrills possible within your means. You are not invincible, but almost. Sometimes while playing, you feel invincible, and that has gotten you into trouble a few times (or more). Life is for you to enjoy to the best and most of your ability. You will stretch your ability just for the next thrill.

Fifth Wheel – Sometimes you’re in charge, and you like it that way, but deep down inside you feel a little insecure. You don’t let anyone know you feel this way, except those closest to you. You feel uncomfortable sharing your feelings. You would rather just play, talk, or let someone else talk. When other people talk, you listen; sometimes it beats them knowing how you truly feel about them or what they’re discussing.

Park Model Home – You just like feeling comfortable. While family and close friends are around is when you feel most comfortable. You like nature fine, but you like home better. You only go out in nature when other people you want to spend time with go out in nature. You would rather do what feels natural to you and that is entertaining and making others feel comfortable. You don’t necessarily like being the center of attention, but you don’t mind it for brief periods of time, especially when giving instruction.

This is for entertainment purposes only. I don't know how accurate any of these are, so take them with a grain of salt. If you'd like to take the quiz associated with this, I should have it done by the end of the day, visit my HubPage at: http;//hubpages/hub/skaggsrv

Changes

I hope you will permit me to be a little personal on this post. Within the past two months, I have had a brother, grandfather, and (3 month old) niece pass away. With each passing, one expected and two unexpected, it just brings to mind how fragile life is. I'm not going to get religious on you, we all have our own beliefs, and I can respect those which are different than mine. Whatever you believe, I hope you treat life (yours and those around you) with respect. We never know when this will be our last day, nor the last day of those we love. I suppose some choose to RV to visit family, or our nature family. I just hope you get in touch with loved ones. If you do regularly, you can never regret visiting them too much. I know I don't feel like I visit my family too much, and after these recent changes, I take the visits when I can get them, even if it is at a funeral. I know one of the reasons I want to start RVing is to making more memories with family and visiting family. I just know time is too precious a thing to waste, and so is family as well as our own lives.
