Our hot water too hot. Like most RV hot water heaters, ours is set to heat to a scalding 140 degrees... unnecessarily hot. Not only would a lower temperature be safer it saves both energy and money. Here's a three-minute segment from the RV Today video archives shows how to replace the original fixed thermostat with one that can be adjusted to a lower temperature. Keep in mind lowering the

The owner of a motorhome videos his Class C motorhome go up in flames. The driver of a car behind him got his attention that his rig was on fire. The RVer used his fire extinguisher, but it wasn't adequate. The buzzing sound and erupting flames below the RV is the propane tank pressure releif valve releasing propane.

The Long Long Trailer as one of my favorite movies. In my opinion, it is far better and more entertaining than RV with Robin Williams. In the Long Long Trailer, Lucille Ball and Desi Arnez play newlyweds Tacy and Nicky Collini. Nicky's job keeps him moving around the county. Tacy thinks having their own traveling home... before they were called RVs... is a much better idea than staying in

Did you know that tires have an expiration date? Okay, they don't officially have expiration dates but they should. Manufactures may not want you to know but tires have life-span that has nothing to do with tread wear. Watch an ABC television video that explains what can happen if you drive on old tires. Get more information on how to read the manufacture date on your tires.

We RVers need to always be conscious of the heigth of our rigs. Even a low-hanging tree branch can cause costly damage but low-overhead structures like overpasses, tunnels, and even gas station and other low-clearance canopies can ruin your day. See what happens to a fifth wheel owner who takes for granted his rig will clear while he was circling Texas State Bank in Center, TX to park in the

I'm not sure why manufacturers are still building RVs with stick and tin walls. It seems to me the additional warranty issues would eat up any savings in construction costs. But this video should give you reason to think twice about buying a traditionally built travel trailer. Of course there are many factors that go into a properly constructed RV besides its wall construction so, even though

Sean from TheLongLongHoneymoon.com says,"There’s an analogy here with RVs. All RVs toss together the same basic ingredients. You get a bed, a bathroom, a couch, and a kitchen wrapped together in the shell of your choice. But these core ingredients get cooked up in an amazing variety of ways."

This is a demonstration of prototype toy hauler. It's biggest feature is a hydraulic suspension that allows the trailer kneel to the ground so you don't need ramps. The builder says it can be used for hauling toys, camping, hunting and you can even use it for ice fishing with the optional holes in the floor. --- RV Living in the 21st Century: The Essential Reference Guide for ALL RVers For

Here's a great video of a restoration done by Tim Shepard of a 1960 Airstream he purchased on eBay. Tim completely gutted and re-built the inside including all new appliances, air conditioner and furnace along with new wiring and plumbing. On the exterior major frame repairs were done and new dexter axles with torsion suspension and hydraulic brakes replaced the original factory axles. And the

This short Video shows just how fast things can get out of control when a wind guest catches your RV. It's also a good example of why you should keep plenty of space between you and the guy ahead. In windy conditions slow down to decrease the risk of being blown over. If it really gets windy pull off the road.

Some years ago while staying the Tyson Wash LTVA at Quartzsite we saw, off in the distance, the black smoke of an RV on fire. We have also seen the aftermath of an RV fire a couple of times.

Welcome to Big Tex's RV ResortEven though this movie was made on a next-to-nothing budget with a cast of unknown actors I thought it was ten times funnier that that movie staring Robin Williams.
