Increasing Pessimism about RVing
Over the past two months I have seen eight articles stating that the current costs of fuel has killed RVing. And I have seen many more articles that hint at this attitude. If you can afford to own an RV and have it sit in your driveway (it's still costing you even if you don't use it) there is no reason you cannot still enjoy it -- if that's why you bought it in the first place.

Vacations using your RV can be much less expensive
If you take family vacations even without children -- just the two of you -- a vacation using your RV will almost always cost less than that vacation using public transportation (Air or Amtrak) and paying for a hotel room -- even if it is a cheap one. Here's a real-life example of a trip we took last summer, with two children, to New York City. The total trip took two weeks, one week of which was spent touring New York City.

Charlotte to New York City
We picked up the children, ages 10 and 8, at the Charlotte NC airport, drove east on I-85 to I-77, north on I-77 to I-81 and followed I-81 all the way to I-78 near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Then east in I-78 to Elizabeth, New Jersey where we signed into the RV park on the west bank of the Hudson River. On weekdays you can take the ferry to Manhattan (about 15 to 20 minutes) and on weekends there is always the subway (also 15 to 20 minutes). Once you park you don't have to move your vehicles again until you leave for home.

We made many stops along the way, e.g., Endless Caverns in Virginia, Hershey's Chocolate World and the other venues in Hershey, Pennsylvania and just about every rest stop (the children need frequent breaks and the driver should). We have an upright freezer (in addition to the refrigerator) in the 5th wheel and we stock it to the brim including plenty of ice cream. Note that, while it is legal to carry passengers in the fifth wheel trailer in North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania and New Jersey, we rarely do that unless it is nap time (in which case my wife is in there with them. In that my wife and I each have our own individual cell phones, we use them for communication rather than investing in an intercom system. (With Verizon, the calls are free if both phones are Verizon.)

Touring New York City
New York has a lot of thrills for 8 to 10 year-olds (actually for all ages). They could spend a week in the Museum of Natural History, all day in fascination at the Panorama of the City of New York at the Queens Museum of Art (a 9,335 square foot scale model of the entire 320 square miles occupied by the five boroughs of New York City with over 800,000 true-to-scale buildings -- the largest scale model of any city in the world). See: http://www.what-where.info/new_york.htm

Touring New York City requires a lot of walking and, frequently, standing. Little legs get tired. So we made a few extra trips across the Hudson on the ferry so they could eat and take naps (New York restaurants can be expensive and we do have a refrigerator and freezer full of food.) This allowed us to revisit the Big Apple in the evening with the children fresh and full of energy. The entire week-long stay cost us $380 at the RV park, $236 for fares and $160 for admission charges (many things are free in New York), -- a total of $776 for the week. The least expensive hotel within manageable distance of midtown Manhattan is $250 per night for just one room. And we didn't have to worry about picking up bed bugs! With the two children you really should have two rooms (we have two bedrooms in the 5th wheel).

Return to Charlotte from New York City
Although the children would have loved to revisit Hershey, Pennsylvania, we returned by a different route. I-78 takes you to Lancaster, site of Dutch Wonderland -- a kids' paradise -- and connects with I-83 which takes you to I-95 and Washington, DC. We think all kids should get a dose of our nation's capital -- but not an overdose. We parked in College Park, MD, and used the Metro subway system (it's really great!). Still there was a lot of walking. Then it was back to Charlotte and their return home to California on the plane.

What the costs could have been
The cost of the trip north was $433 which includes $313 for diesel, $90 for RV parks and $30 for admission fees. Of course, if we had flown or taken the train the kids would have missed these sights and thrills and it would have cost at least $600 by train and at least twice that by air (plus parking fees, of course).

What were the real costs
The cost of the return trip was a little less than $500 which included $270 for diesel, $180 for RV parks and $48 for admission charges. We spent a total of $607 for fuel (including 6 gallons of gasoline for the Onan generator); the grand total for the whole trip was only $1,731. The hotel room in New York would have cost more than that!

Don't forget the 'fringe benefits'.
And, remember, -- if we had flown or taken the train from Charlotte to New York and back the kids would have missed out on all the sights and thrills they took in on the way up and back. Now tell me, can you really afford to give up RVing?

Bob Masters started RVing in a converted 1958 Flxible bus in the 1960s. He has traveled extensively throughout the 48 states and has written many 'travel logs' describing some of his journeys. Having traveled extensively with children, and, later, grandchildren, he has become very familiar with the best places to stop and enjoy what a local community has to offer. Recently he started the RV Guide project to make available to RVers a graphic directory of the locations of RV parks and campgrounds near the Interstate highways (http://www.RV-Park-Guide.org) including locations of RV sales and service centers.

This article is for the picky loader - those who want everything that is best for their camping trip. Think everything fun, comfortable and luxurious.

Let us face it, some campers would not want to go out camping at all if they are not sure they would feel a lot at home. Some campers would not settle with just the basic camping equipment out there. We definitely understand that. Living in the wilds could be intimidating, and they need all the comfort they could get - even at the point of spending their whole paycheck on all of the best camping equipment they could find.

Everything, as in everything. The average loader would settle for the just the top necessities when it comes to camping, but the picky loader would go for everything that will make his vacation the best it could be. And the best it could be would mean bringing a load of extra camping equipment. Everything you will be needing from intricate lighters to portable DVD's. If you want your camping trip to go an extra mile, then don't forget these luxuries.

Not all types of camping are the same. Some are just as simple as going through the night in the outdoors, with the simple joys like stargazing. Some are challenged to go unharmed in an un-chartered territory. And some like to party-ay in the woods without a single care in the world. Nonetheless these things would be impossible if you happen to fail in packing the ultra needed camping equipment that go alongside your dreams and ideals of the perfect getaway in the ultimate outdoors. Here is the best you could get when it comes to camping.

1. Beer and loads of uncooked steak.
2. Recipes.
3. Wine glass.
4. Martini glass.
5. Champagne glass.
6. Champagne.
7. Ziploc bags.
8. Picnic towels.
9. Foldable furniture. Camping chairs and tables.
10. Coolers, even a portable refrigerator.
11. Blender.
12. Hibatchi grill or Coleman portable stove
13. Your own grilling smoky firewood.
14. Firestarter or quick start sticks.
15. Propane lantern.

32. UNO. Bunco dice. Bingo cards.
33. Deck of cards.
34. Books
35. Mags.
36. Crossword puzzles.

I put this generator thru hell, we ran it for 18 hours a day for 5 days when hurrican gustro came thru louisiana and it never failed us. we ran a 110 unit, tv,freezer,fridge,fan and when the heavy rains came i would plug in the 1.5 horse power pump on the pool to remove excess water. it was well worth the 649 i paid for it.
Customer Review: Power Back GT5250 3 years Excellent for the Money
Purchased a GT5250 real cheap because someone did not put oil in the motor and blew the connecting rod clean out of the engine with half of the piston. Put a shot block in it and it has run great for 3 years. Use it for storms in southern Louisiana - many times! Works every time and powers everything necessary like the frig, freezer, pc, satellite, cell phone chargers, freezer, router, switch, lights, TVs, DVDs, and a whole bunch more including the water pump. Not quite like a Honda but great for occasional use for a few weeks a year. Extremely fuel efficient and only have to fill up twice a day for continuous use.

Tarpaulins are more commonly known as tarps and they have a wide variety of uses. Tarpaulins are large, durable, flexible sheets of fabric that are waterproof or water resistant depending on the make. These tarpaulins are very usually coated in a latex or plastic, which gives them extra strength. Tarpaulins used to be made of canvas, but now they are mostly made of other fabrics such as nylon. Tarpaulins have been in use for more than a century now, and they are still being improved on and used for new things all the time.

There are so many uses for tarpaulins that it would take quite some time to name them all. They are often used for construction sites as well as home and garden. They can even be used for protecting sports fields like baseball diamonds. They are great for protecting any outdoor property you may have. Tarpaulins are also great for camping trips and any other outdoor adventure you may have. They come in different levels of toughness depending on what job you need them to do. For everything that they are used for these days, they have only one or two specific purposes. Their main purpose is to be used for any outdoor endeavors and how they are used should be taken into account with the situation.

Tarpaulins will come in various colors. If you are looking to color coordinate anything with your outdoors, tarpaulins are an easy way to do so. You can even purchase camouflage tarpaulins. Tarpaulins will be made of different materials, depending on what they will be used for. The strongest tarpaulins will be made of a polyethylene or another synthetic fiber. Many tarpaulins will be waterproof and some will even be fire retardant. You will find that they also come in many different sizes to suit your many different needs as a consumer. Some will be smaller squares of fabric that only measure up to a few feet and some will be large enough to cover a baseball diamond or football field. Tarpaulins have a long list of practical uses. These tarpaulins should taken advantage of as they may end up saving damage to something you cherish that is located around the outdoors of your home.

Customer Review: not bad
Steamer took a while to heat up. Using door hanger was quite awkward, as tube didn't want to flex freely to reach garment. Cord length didn't allow door to be opened while in use, so I had to remove steamer and place to the side to get the next garment from the hotel closet. Did, in fact, steam quite well once we got the set-up taken care of. Bonus- makes an array of awesome gastrointestinal noises! Bad side- Be careful with screwing the hose back on after refilling while hot! The lid jammed the second time I used it, took three days and a liberal application of elbow grease to open. Wouldn't work correctly during that period.
Customer Review: Do not waste your money on this
it's essentially a boiling pot of water that has a hose connected to it. It took me double the time to try and steam my clothes, and I ended up burning myself multiple times and having large blotches of water on my clothes. Purchase the Steamfast model. It's works great.

You can get some nasty back problems from backpacks if you don't know what you're doing with them, or if you are careless.

One common problem is wearing a badly-adjusted backpack. That will give you some painful back problems from backpacks, I can tell you.

It takes a fair amount of camping equipment to keep you warm, dry and comfortable on a camp. And adds up to a whole lot of weight when carrying all your camping gear on your back.

It's okay for the car campers. They just throw it all in the back of the automobile and drive to where they're going.

It's the hikers foot-slogging away who'll feel the discomfort after the first hour.

You need to have a backpack which adjusts properly, so it can fit you well and distribute the weight in the right places.

There are two schools of thought here. The old fashioned European frame rucksack usually had a steel frame, with leather padding, which placed the weight on your hips and lower back.

Then US-designed, tall framed backpacks came along later and put the center of gravity much higher up. That way, you could stand up much more erect when walking. You didn't have to stoop.

There are also backpacks with internal frames, and packs with no frame at all. I don't recommend frameless backpacks if you're going to be toting a heavy load - more than 20 pounds - but they're fine for carrying some sandwiches and a bottle of water or soda. Nothing more.

As long as they are adjusted well, with the weight in the right places, you won't expect to get any back problems from whatever kind of backpack you own. But if your back pack is badly adjusted, you'll get quite strained after walking a few long miles.

It's worse if there's something hard or pointy digging into your back. That will make every step of your nature walk into plain torture... So make sure the side of the pack towards your back is well-padded with soft things like clothing, a towel or your sleeping bag.

It's better to pack everything carefully in the first place, that to have to call a halt in the middle of a group hike. Do that, and you'll have all your walking companions waiting around impatiently while you fix what you should have gotten right in the first place!

The most important thing to keep in mind when hiking with a rucksack or backpack is to keep your load as light as possible. That's the best way to avoid any back problems from backpacks.

Some people take this wisdom to a whole new level, byt lightweight camping is another subject - for another article!

Hydrogen gas saver devices have become popular nowadays. The reason is that it is more important than ever to save money currently, as the economy is in the worst position that it has been in for a very long time.

Even the people who normally never worry or care about saving money or buying a bargain brand, are now thinking twice before they make purchases or investments. It is quite a phenomenon, and gasoline plays a major role in it all. That is where the hydrogen gas saver comes into play.

With gas prices soaring higher than ever, it makes everything go up in price, because everything needs to be shipped, delivered and transported which all takes gasoline to make happen.

There have been many devices over the years that have claimed to convert a car or truck to run solely on water, and many of them have either been a hoax altogether, or just a failed attempt at building a hydrogen gas saver.

What is a Hydrogen Gas Saver?

A hydrogen gas saver is a device that can be built out of regular, everyday materials, and which converts water into its hydrogen gas form. This hydrogen gas is also known as HHO gas.

Hydrogen gas or HHO gas, is extremely combustible. What's perfect about this, is that cars, trucks, and many other modes of transportation run on internal combustion engines.

That means that hydrogen gas can be used to run a car, truck, SUV, etc. Although it is powerful enough to run a car or truck on its own, it would be far too expensive and almost impossible to convert your car to run on hydrogen gas only. That is why they call it a "hydrogen gas saver" device.

The device, once built, can be installed on to a car's engine (or truck, SUV, etc.), and then combines the power of hydrogen gas, along with the car's regular gasoline to create enormous gas mileage savings.

In a sense, the car becomes a hybrid of it's own, running on both water and gas. People have reported (and proved) results such as doubling and even tripling their gas mileage when using a properly built hydrogen gas saver device.

Right now, it doesn't matter who you are, money is tight and the economy is suffering. Gas prices are through the roof and nobody should have to pay three and a half dollars for a gallon of gas. Well, people don't really have a choice, and that is why so many thousands of people are resorting to the use and implementation of hydrogen gas saver devices.

Hydrogen gas saver can be built at home, with materials that can be gathered for under $200 from local stores. All it takes is getting the materials and following instructions to get it done, and it is well worth the process -- which isn't even that tedious.

We bought this to cover a Yamaha 3500 gen set, and it is perfect. It is exactly as stated and we are delighted with it.

Before you part with your hard earned cash on a second hand car, it`s wise to spend some time taking a good look at what you are buying. Below are some simple checks you can make without even lifting the hood.

Before you reach this stage, however, you should have already satisfied yourself that the engine, transmission, suspension, brakes and fluids are in good condition. Also, the body itself should be free from, or have little rust.

Check the condition of the belts and the hoses.

Check the operation of the parking brake on a hill.

Check for an unusual amount of wear on the brake pedal.

Check the condition of the exhaust system. Is it noisy? Is it loose?

Check shocks and springs. Does the car sit low, or when you push down on each corner in turn, does it bounce more than three times?

If there is an air conditioner, does it work on all blower speeds?

Do the lights, wipers, horn, seat belts, and windows work?

Check underneath the rear of the vehicle for any telltale signs that a trailer hitch was installed. If so, caution is recommended, as towing may have put excessive strain on the transmission.

If you are unsure of any of the checks mentioned in this article, it might be wise to have the car assessed by a professional mechanic before buying it. Ask him to look the car over and make a list of the following:

1. The repairs the car needs immediately and an estimate of the cost of parts and labor.

2. The repairs the car may need in the next year and an estimate of the cost of parts and labor.

This inspection by a professional mechanic should take less than an hour. While this may cost you the price of labor for an hour, the expense is small compared with the unknown cost of needed repairs. Find out from the seller what work has recently been done on the car. Ask to see service records. Were the oil and the oil filter changed regularly? Has the automatic transmission ever been serviced? When was the last time the car was tuned up? Remember, a good car is one that has been maintained well and does not need a lot of work.

Sit down and calculate the expense first-with all the facts and figures about the car. Then decide if the car is worth it and if you have budgeted enough money to cover not only the purchase price but also other expenses.

Want to build a HHO generator kit but have no idea how to start? Well, it is not that difficult once you get the instructions. Here is a summary of how you can build your very own HHO generator kit using parts bought from a local hardware store.

Why build a HHO generator in the first place?

By now, you may have known what it is used for. If not, this HHO or Brown's Gas generator is a mini-system that converts water into Brown's Gas or H-H-O. This gas is meant to mix and burn together with gasoline in the internal combustion engine for better combustion. A better combustion will increase the gas mileage significantly, sometimes as high as 60% or more.

How to set up this HHO generator kit for cars

The whole setup consists of a water reservoir, bubbler and an electrolyzer. You need not modify your engine at all. All you are required to do is to fit the hydrogen generator into your carburetor. No external power source is needed as you just need to power it with your car battery.

In fact the whole process is reversible and does no damage to your car engine. In fact, when you power your car using the hydrogen generator, it does more good. You get a cleaner, quieter and more durable engine. And your car can travel longer distances while saving as much as 30 to 50% on gas.

Compulsory Parts needed:

1. Electrolyzer - the Hydrogen Generator
2. Electrolyzer Wiring Harness
3. Tubing for Water Charging
4. Vacuum-T and Hose
5. Vacuum Hose for Air Filter

Other Optional Parts include:

1. The Optimizer commonly called dual edge map sensor enhancer
2. Fuel Heater
3. PCV Enhancer
4. Vaporizer for Water Charged System

Pure baking soda is also needed to speed up the reaction. The whole HHO generator kit can be built within 4 or 5 hours, or even as fast as 2 hours under a cost of $60 to $80.

Thousands of drivers are now powering their cars on water fuel. When are you building your HHO generator kit?

Read this full guide that teaches you step by step on how to run a car on water using an easy to assemble hydrogen generator for car for less than $90 with parts from any local hardware store.
