    Will be in Quartzsite AZ from Jan 4th 2014 to Feb 4Th 2014 helping out our friends who own a store/booth there called Games4U we love it there the RV show is great and the whole month there is a ton of vendors. We always meet a bunch of other RVers and we chat about our rigs and just have fun walking around, socializing and chatting... we go every year. We camp in town with full hookups but a group of our friends stays a few days in the desert... huge campfire, food sharing, and lots of laughter, great fun.

    We have very light cream colored captain’s chairs in the front for the driver and the passenger, when we are camped we turn them around so they are facing the living room and more people can sit, plus it makes for seeing the view easier.

    When people go in and out they tend to grab on to some part of the seat (especially my 4 year old grandson) and this leaves dirt on them or.... kitty likes to jump up on the top and we are afraid of little claw pricks. So far we cover them with heavy blankets that match but we would rather have something that is made for them if possible and we would prefer not to have a seamstress special make it.

    so you like the convection oven? this is the first one I have had, am a little afraid of it..... I will definitely try it for Thanksginving and I hope/am sure it will work out well. It has to be a great day as our family and 3 1/2 year old grandson will be there, it does not get much better than that.

    Thanks for the response.

    This year for the first time we are going to spend Thanksgiving in the RV with family. I am debating ... cook the turkey on Wednesday and reheat it in the motorhome? Or cook it in the motorhome? Or buy a pre-cooked one. The pre-cooked seems boring. Am leaning towards cooking on Wednesday. What do you do?

    before I purchased my new RV, we stayed in a luxury motorhome park in Lebanon, OR. I wondered what they would say about my older RV when the first thing I saw was two 40-foot Marathons all decked out and towing full-size Hummers.

    When we went in to get a spot they had an employee come out and walk around our RV before they checked us out. We passed and got a nice spot more toward the back. I asked the person what the criteria was and they said no paint falling off and generally it should not look like the motorhome was falling apart.

    That was actually one of the funnest places we have stayed -- golf course, great steak restaurant, paper at your door in the morning and very friendly campers to talk to.

    Tom and Louise,

    I do agree with what you said. We do like to be free and go to different places and do whatever comes to mind that day. We are not going to retire for another couple of years and then we plan to travel two to three months at a time, come back home to stay a while and see the girls and our grandson and off again. As far as cost goes, those membership resorts are very expensive; it would probably take a long time to spend that much in camping fees at individual parks. Good thought you posed: No, it did not have the same open and free-spirited feeling as the Oregon parks or as national parks do.

    Good food for thought.

    Thanks

    Recently we went to a sales pitch at a Thousand Trails campground. We were not that impressed with the one we toured, but did think that if you get the whole package they are trying to sell, it becomes expensive.

    We also felt that they do have some nice sites, but is it worth it to tie yourself into something like that? Or would it be better to just go around free? One good thing: We did get $100 in free gas and a nice three days, so our stay was worth it.

    Recently we had our oil changed at Camping World and all went very smoothly, very timely and nice people. Before going there to have it changed, I called several places for pricing. One of the ones I contacted was EconoLube, as we had driven by it right behind Camping World and seen an ad in their window saying they offered this service. We looked at each other and said, "I don't think EconoLube would be very experienced in this?" Then we thought, well, maybe they could be as they are right behind Camping World and there are a ton of RVs in that area, so what the heck? You can't loose anything with a call. Here's how it went ...

    "Econo Lube, May I help you?"

    "Yes, I would like to know the price of an oil change for a National RV TropiCal class A diesel motorhome that is 36' long, please."

    "Oh, that would be $42.99"

    "Are you sure? That does not seem right."

    "I'm new here. Let me ask my manager..." yelling goes on... "Hey, Joe, how much is an oil change for a motorhome?

    "Excuse me, sir? Tell him it is a class A Diesel ..."

    "Hang on, Joe, Mam? I don't think that makes a diffence? It's just a standard motorhome, right?

    By now, of course I know that I am not taking it here, but I am amused so I keep on.

    "Just tell him please? It might make a difference."

    "I don't think so but ok ..." Hey, Joe, it's a Class A diesel 36'.

    "Ohhhhh," said Joe, that's way different, "$75.

    Then I said, "It is very tall like a bus. Can it fit in the bay?"

    "No problem. We can go as high as 9.5 or 10' we are well set up here.

    "Will you be over today?"

    "I will let you know, but actually you guys better check your facts and your setup. You can't handle RVs at all."

    Then we went to Camping World.

    Always ask a bunch of questions. You never know what response you will get, and by the way ... what exactly is just a standard motorhome?

    We always take our kitty Reno with us on the longer trips and we have one of those cat carriers that attaches to wheels so that you can stroll them around while you are parked. We put him in the carrier and attach it with bungi cords so that in case of sudden stop he does not fly forward. The carrier is mesh and he is in the space between the two front seats so he is happy being near us and most of the time naps.
    Any better/other ways you are doing it?
