Resources For RVers


A wealth of resources for RVers is available on the Internet, but who has the time to search through them all?

Many websites provide nothing but links to other websites. That can be a good thing -- if that's what you're looking for.

I've devoted this website to writing about what I know. Everything I write is based on my first hand experience. I could write about a lot of aspects of RVing but I've found my niche. As my logo states, my website is all about "affordable adventures" - Sharing how Randy and I have been able to travel extensively on a very small budget.



My intent with this page is to provide you with links to some of the best related websites I've found-- resources for RVers as well as backpackers. These are sites that we refer to ourselves, so I think you'll appreciate them too.

Affordable Small Camper Vans For Rent
Finally! A rental option for those who don't want or need a big RV. Based in San Francisco, California, you can rent a completely equipped camping van for little more than it would cost to rent a car. Unlike the big RV rental companies, you're allowed to drive a Lost Campers Van on gravel roads to access the free campsites listed in the Frugal Shunpiker's Guides. Higly recommended!



RV Dumps In USA And Canada
Search by state or province. A comprehensive (visitor generated) list of dump stations across the continent. Many are free. Where a fee is charged, it is listed.



Free "How To" Videos
Thirty excellent free videos provide tips for buying, driving, insuring, and maintaining your RV plus many other aspects of the RV lifestyle. RV industry expert Mark Polk is the producer & host of America's most highly regarded series of DVD's, videos, books, and e-books.



Geeks On Tour
provides computer education for travelers who want to learn to use their computers for managing digital photos, making blogs, using maps and other online resources. The geeks, Jim and Chris Guld, are computer support professionals and on the road full-time in their RV.




Possibly the most comprehensive RV related site on the Internet today:
RV Basics.
RV topics, links, news, and editorials. My favorite section is the RV Tip Of The Day.




Free attractions and free things to do in all 50 United States and over 1,500 Cities, are listed in a data base at
Free-Attractions
Listings include free museums, parks, concerts, parades, festivals, and zoos. The website gives a brief synopsis of each free attraction and usually a phone number -- a follow up to the official website for each listing is usually needed to get more specific information.




Traveling with a laptop? This data base of wi-fi hot spots is one of the best resources for frugal travelers.
Wi-Fi-FreeSpot Directory
It lets you find free wifi internet access by typing in the nearest city or zip code.




See more of the world without paying to rent an RV. Much like a home exchange, here is a reputable RV exchange program to connect you with motorhome owners in other countries including Australia, New Zealand, Canada, The United States and many European countries.
Worldwide Motorhome Holiday Exchange
Registration and particiaption is free for the first year.



Think you can't afford Hawaii? Check the official Hawaii State Park website for information on
$5.00 Campsites In Hawaii State Parks



Who can afford to buy a new RV? Instead, why not pick up an older model (for a song) and refurbish it?
GMC Co-operative Motorworks specializes in beatifully
Restoring Vintage Motorhomes
A full restoration done by this unique shop is not cheap but the website is full of information and inspiration!




Why pay for campground directory guides?
Road Camping
is a free comprehensive guide created to help you find campgrounds by highway routes or by town name in all of the United States inlcuding Alaska and Hawaii. Along with campground information you'll find google maps and geographic co-ordinates for most campgrounds.




RV Shark is the place to find
Unbiased Reviews Of RV Parks
all across the U.S.A. posted by RVers who have stayed in them. You're invited to share your own comments about a positive or negative RV park experience.




Here's a website that will ensure you don't miss a single stop along the scenic route you're driving.
RV Itinerary Guides
The Itneraries list what you'll find, mile by mile, along many popular tourist routes in The USA, Canada, and Mexico.




Finding free natural hot springs is always a highlight of our travels. A $10.00 lifetime membership to
Soakers Bible
will give you access to directions and information for all the developed hot springs in the eleven western states.




While my website concentrates on my niche - RV boondocking and affordable adventures, there's so much more to know about RVing in general. When I'm looking for links to more general information, these websites are my personal favorites:
Everything About RVing
and
Love RVing
While my website may save RV travelers a lot of money, these sites will surely save us all a lot of time.




RVers who are heading to Texas will find
Fun Things To Do In Texas
a good place to start. Frugal travelers who (like us) are always on the lookout for a (free) festival or other affordable entertainment will especially like the Events Calendar and Cheap Tickets pages on this website.




Talk about affordable adventures!

What could be more adventurous than the Australian Outback?
The Kimberley Australia Travel Guide
shows you how it can also be affordable. It's the best place to start planning your trip "down under."

In his youth, Randy lived in Australia for several years. Someday we hope to travel there together and I'll write about those adventures myself. Meanwhile, this is one of the best resources for RVers who want to explore the real Australia.





More to come...

More links to resources for RVers, particulary those of interest to frugal travelers, will be added as I discover them.

The traveler's way of paying it forward:

Share information that may enhance a fellow traveler's journey. You will always be paid back ten-fold.
