Some helpful hints when looking forRV Appliance Replacement Parts

RV consumers are sometimes disappointed when shopping for RV appliance replacement parts. Consumers think the RV parts staff should know what appliances are in their RV by the make of their unit. RV's are not like automobiles, every OEM will uses different appliances so unless the RV dealer you visit sells that brand there is no way to tell which appliance is in their unit. When looking for replacement parts for you’re appliances, if you have the manufacturers name and model number for that specific appliance finding replacing parts is a very simple task.

Happy Trails!

Campfire Paper Bag Bacon & Eggs

Campfire Paper Bag Bacon & Eggs

Ingredients:

2 strips of fatty bacon

1 egg

Salt & pepper, hot sauce and/or Ketchup

You will need;

1 paper lunch bag

1 green pointy stick

Directions:

1. Cut both bacon strips in half, giving you 4 pieces. Line the bottom of the paper lunch bag with the bacon to make a nice, fatty bacon nest for the egg.
2. Crack an egg into the nest.
3. Fold the top of the paper bag down carefully, 2 times, and poke a hole through the thick part with the stick.
4. Carefully hold the bag over the fire so the bacon cooks slowly and the fat melts. This makes an oily paper & bacon "skillet" for the egg.  Take care & keep cooking it until the egg is done.
5. Eat it out of the bag... Put it on a plate!  If you put it on your knee it will be hot and greasy and will ruin your pants!
6. Serve with salt & pepper and your choice of ketchup and/or hot sauce.

Variation:

Add a handful of frozen hash browns or finely chopped cooked potatoes over the bacon but under the egg.

Traveling Game - Counting Cows!

Road Trip Game - Counting Cows

It's the official start to the camping season, the May long weekend!  Here is a fun travel game that will avoid the "are we there yet" question.  It's fun for the whole family!

Counting Cows

Here's how to play:

Each person counts the cows they see and mark it down on a piece of paper, they get extra points for other animals/objects that you designate before the game starts.  If someone see's something, ie a golf course and calls it out then everyone else looses all their points and has to start over.  The person that has the most points at the end of the trip or the designated time wins :-)

Here is some idea for points:

1. Cows = 1 point each
2. Sheep or Goats (in place of cows) = 1 point each
3. Barn = 5 points
4. Bear = 25 points
5. Deer = 10 points
6. A white horse = other people loose 25 points
7. Golf Course = everyone must start over but the person who spotted the course

Add anything that you know you will see on your road trip to make it fun, set up teams and split it up so each team can only count what's out the window on their side of the vehicle.  

Happy Camping everyone!

The Best Reasons to go Camping!

The Best Reasons to go CAMPING!

1. Let's you escape the hectic every day life - Camping is different than most vacations, when camping you can literally do nothing for an entire weekend.  You can prepare all your meals before leaving home so even meal prep is easy.  You don't have to do all that running around that you seem to have to do every weekend.  You could even turn off your electronic devises and be completely removed from that hectic every day life.
2. Enjoy the fresh air - Spending time outdoors, in the fresh air, you take in more oxygen.  Just pay attention to that feeling you get when you take a deep breath of that fresh air.  That feeling of happiness is because of the breath of fresh air, it releases serotonin!  Think of all the health benefits from breathing in more fresh air and less pollutants
3. You'll get a new appreciation of Mother Nature - From the majestic mountains to the ocean, lakes & rivers you can have your pick of what to do.  Hiking, biking, swimming, canoeing, kayaking are only a few of the activities that you can do outdoors.  No experience will be the same, even if you've been to that campgound before, it's always a new experience.  To top it off... When was the last time you looked up at the night sky and saw the endless stars and if your lucky the Northern Lights!  Get a constellation map and you`ll be up for hours!
4. A great night sleep - After your day of fresh air and your night of star gazing you'll have the best sleep!  Tucked away in your comfy RV, leave a window open to continue breating that fresh air, you will hear the crickets, frogs and, well, pretty much nothing and just let yourself drift away.  No traffic, sirens or horns, just the comforting smells & sounds of nature.
5. Quality time with family & friends - Keep the electronic games and devices to a bare minimum.  Play a board game, cards or sit around the campfire and talk.  You'll be surprised at how much you laugh.  An old fashioned story time (ghost stories depending on your camping group) is a ton of fun, especially when everyone joins in!
6. You can take your ENTIRE family! - Camping is a dog friendly, cat friendly, most pet's that live with you can go camping (of course there are some exceptions)! Here is a blog post that we wrote to give you tips on camping with your dog, stay tuned for a blog post on camping with your cat. 
7. Exercise - When camping you spend more time doing physical activities.  Even on a fishing trip your burning more calories than sitting at your desk at work or on your couch at home. You also have more energy to DO more activities, which of course makes you extra hungry to eat all that good camping food :-)
8. Camping is affordable - When it comes to budgeting for your family vacation, camping wins hands down!  You can go on several trips throughout the camping season(s) for cheaper than taking your family on a trip where you need to fly, stay in a hotel, eat out & paying for the tourists activities.
