We all want to have hot water when we are RVing, but not too hot. Many RVs come with a fixed water heater thermostat set on 1400F and that is just too hot for many people. If this is the case for you, watch Stew Oleson find out the solution: to exchange the fixed thermostat for an adjustable one so you can lower the temperature to where you find it comfortable.

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 water

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 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 motels

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.

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.

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.

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.
