3 Must See Recreational Vehicle Destinations

Published by veno under Recreation

Once you get your first recreational vehicle, a world of vacation spots open up for you. All you have to do is hop in your RV and hit the open road. For some people, it is all about the journey and for others, it is all about the destination. If you are about the destination, then here are three spots for you to vacation.

Tunnel Mountain Camp – Canada
Located in Banff National Park in Canada, this vacation destination is has breathtaking scenic views. Anyone heading to the Canadian Rockies will want to stop off here and surround themselves with snow-topped mountains that overlook a gorgeous valley.

If you are the type who likes to explore new cities, Banff is a quaint little town with an indoor amphitheatre. Here you can see documentaries and programs about the region.

For skiers and snowmobilers, you will want to pack up your toy hauler with ski gear. These slopes are the destination of professionals. You can find challenging slopes to make your trip both awe-inspiring and fun.

Orchard Vacation Village – Mexico
Located in Mulege, Mexico this is a perfect destination for those going south of the border. White beaches welcome the sun worshipping campers. Just don’t forget your suntan lotion or you will be missing out.

Those who love culture will find the missions quite intriguing. The whole town is full of history and it is walking distance from the RV site. If you are into art, history or both, don’t miss out on the cavepainting tours.

Scuba divers and snorkelers will find the crystal clear water too good to miss. While you are down by the water, you can fish or even go clamming.

Madison Arm Resort – USA
Located near Yellowstone, this motor home site is a great place to stay away from the crowds. Yellowstone often gets overcrowded and Madison Arm Resort is just a short drive from Yellowstone.

Sightseers will love the raw beauty. Elk, bison and numerous other wildlife surround the campground. Stay here and you can be sure to catch a glimpse of some wildlife.

Fisherman will want to head over to the trout filled lake of Hebgen. This RV campground is located right on the lake for plenty of fishing opportunities.

Of course, this is only three places that you will want to try once you get a recreational vehicle. Once you start traveling around in your RV, you will find that a whole other world exists outside of the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Cat Cat, Vietnam Amazing View!

Published by veno under Amazing

Pause to load, then watch in HD and fullscreen for the best viewing experience! If you like, go to endsofearth.com to see other videos, pictures, and writings from my travels. Please rate, leave a comment, and/or subscribe. Cat Cat is a small village adjacent to Sa Pa, in NW Vietnam. It is the easiest place for travelers to visit, requiring only a short walk. The village, the mountains, and the people are beautiful. I traveled to a few other villages, deeper into the country, and all had similar views. I literally stopped my motorbike a few times on the side of the road in wonderment. The bold green mountains, rice paddies, clouds, and peacefulness of it all give it a fairy tale-like feeling. Here at Cat Cat, I climbed up a small hill where a restaurant or building had been abandoned before completion. Like most of SE Asia, there were no safety warnings and anyone could easily walk right off the ledge. Because I was filming, concentrating on holding the camera steady, I made sure to stop a few feet short of the ledge. One step too far, and I easily would have plummeted several dozen feet, probably with fatal consequences. Ouch! You can see a picture of the building from where I filmed in the “Around Vietnam” picture entry on endsofearth.com

Recreational Vehicle Salvage

Published by veno under Recreation

Salvaging a recreational vehicle, or an RV, is more than a hobby or a goal. Salvaging a recreational vehicle is an adventure. The key to salvaging a recreational vehicle is the vision. The vision keeps a craftsman going through the ups and downs and the varying costs.

Adventure before cost
Before embarking on the adventure that is salvaging a recreational vehicle, the builder needs to consider the costs, and weigh those costs against the benefits. In doing so, I think most dedicated recreational vehicle builders will find the cost is nothing compared to the fun of having an adventure vehicle to carry them wherever they want to go.

Just a quick note: check your state salvage requirements before purchasing a salvageable recreational vehicle. Some states have different requirements that add steps to the process. A missed step can make it hard to get state approval for the vehicle later.

Parts for recreational vehicles can be hard to come by as there are fewer on the road. Additionally, recreational vehicles are bulky and expensive without factoring in their rarity. That’s why salvaging a recreational vehicle and building with purchased parts is the best option. The best choice for salvaging is an online salvage auction at Auto Bid Master.

Once the cost is considered, a builder should imagine the benefits of salvaging a recreational vehicle. The journeys across the country or across large states like Texas make the thought exhilarating. The comfort of traveling at your own will with no worry about hotels or stopping is an ease few ever experience. They say motorcycles offer ultimate freedom, but they haven’t asked a recreational vehicle owner.

Pieces of the Puzzle
The first physical step in salvaging a recreational vehicle is picking the RV itself. The selection starts with phone book listing and Internet sites for junkyards and salvage yards. From there, a person must find a vehicle that is worth being salvaged. Many will not be, but a good recreational vehicle is worth salvaging. Also check for recreational vehicle listings in newspapers to locate sellers. Finding a direct seller wanting to get a vehicle off their hands can be essential to getting the best price.

Best Fits for the Budget
Internet auction sites offer databases of cheap, quality parts that cannot be matched. Rather than having to settle for inferior parts within a certain region, the Internet opens the opportunity to parts across the country. The greater the option, the closer a builder gets to their vision, their dream recreational vehicle. On such a large investment, being choosey is essential. Having more to choose from means better chances for better choices. No place offers more and better choices than Auto Bid Master.

Before embarking on the adventure of salvaging a recreational vehicle, get yourself a trusted friend and a seasoned veteran of automobile mechanics. Journeys are best taken with trusted, skilled partners who can show an amateur what to look for and which path to take.

Recreational Vehicle (RV) Sales on the Rise

Published by veno under Recreation

As the baby boomers retire, the recreational vehicle industry has seen an upsurge in sales. For many people, nothing measures up to the independence and flexibility of enjoying the open road in a recreational vehicle (RV). There is certainly much to be said for taking your hotel with you wherever you go, and the savings on hotel costs can more than pay for the initial cost of an RV.

RV travelers realize the cost savings of this type of travel. There are no hotel rooms to book and dining in your RV can save an enormous amount of money compared to eating in restaurants every day. Owning a fifth wheel or travel trailer, whereas you can unhook your RV from your truck, saves you from having to book a rental car. For those in motor homes, many travelers will tow a vehicle behind them.

When considering the purchase of an recreational vehicle, you will be faced with three choices; a fifth wheel which is pulled by a pick up truck and attaches to a wheel inside the truck box (hence its name fifth wheel), a travel trailer which is usually pulled by a truck with a rear hitch, or a motor home. All three types of RV’s have their pros and cons and each point will need to be considered based upon your needs and your budget. Other consideration for the RV lifestyle is the price of gas. However, it is still more economical than staying in hotels and eating at restaurants every night.

Traveling in a recreational vehicle or motor home is often a good choice for those who want to travel to different locations; however, it may be less suited to those who visit the same location year after year. Travelers who visit the same location every year may find it more economical to buy a vacation home. Buying a vacation home, and renting it out when it is not being used, can be a good way to both save money on lodging and build equity for the future.

Many RV travelers come to love the freedom of the open road and the easy care lifestyle. Traveling cross-country and stopping a various parks along the way is a wonderful adventure. The traveler can choose to stay a day or as long as they want at a particular location.

A well-known fact in the RV community is the free camping at Walmart. In most states, you are allowed to camp in a Walmart’s parking lot for as long as you like. I am sure you have seen recreational vehicles lined up in Walmart’s parking lot at least on one occasion. This is a win-win situation for the traveler and Walmart. The traveler has a well-lit place to camp for the night, at no cost, and Walmart receives income from those RV owners who frequent the store. However, recently there has been an uprising among campground owners against Walmart’s free camping policy. Therefore, it is well advised that you check with the local chamber of commerce before you decide to stay a week at Walmart.
