...Are campsites hard to find and book for big rigs? I have downloaded RV tip wizard, harvest host, and all stays.
Have you stayed at any harvesthosts? If we had an option we would prefer quiet and spacious locations and campgrounds.
We can’t wait to meet new people on the road and learn as...
Check out HarvestHosts, you could stop at one nearby the night before check in.
I’ve also parked at Lowes’s for the night if it was well lit and in a nicer part of town. I like Lowe’s because they are usually in nice enough places and they usually have well maintained, large parking lots and...
...to campgrounds, there are also a few businesses that will allow you to stay overnight at no cost (Walmart, etc). Also, consider using HarvestHosts for those overnight stops. Those are businesses (breweries,wineries, farms, museums) that allow travelers to overnight for free as long as you...
...and silos is such a liberating experience. Getting away from the hustle and bustle of city/town life is a great opportunity as an RVer. HarvestHosts offers opportunities for this but when looking for campgrounds, don't overlook some amazing opportunities of an escape you may not expect by...
...While I have 1800W solar, I rarely use it and my boondocking at the EAA AirVenture airshow worked great last July. Last night at my HarvestHosts I had a significant SOC drop, woke up to 64%. I didn't see where I was at gen stop / bed time 10 PM last night. I did leave my PC running which...
...until I do some boondocking tests is the impact of dual inverters. I asked SES after I saw the same SOC decline the first night at a HarvestHosts if I could turn off inverter 2 and if the additional inverter was a drain on the batteries and the answer to both is yes. I don't know how much of...
...here I can leave. I may single hop home which is 10 hours of driving at the least, doable, all interstate. Or find an overnight with HarvestHosts or private CG in NC. Lots of decisions to figure out. Flexibility is key! Safety is paramount. I don't know how this virus is spreading though so...
...it seems that there are more people in RVs, so it probably won't get better any time soon. There are some other alternatives such as HarvestHosts...https://harvesthosts.com/
As for the cost and resale of a motorhome, let's just say that they aren't "money makers." Buying used will help...
...picky and I think I'm going to have to start State Park hunting for good deals. I doubt anyone else is doing that!!!! :rolleyes: HarvestHosts is a unique opportunity but not really a money saver typically as what you would spend at a campground for a night you essentially give them in your...
...spot with the FWS against a grass median, which allowed us to put it out for the night without risk of collision or interference.
harvesthosts, cabelas, Cracker Barrel, Lowe’s, and Costco are all great alternatives too. If it’s well lit, the area is clean and there aren’t a bunch of...
...that on travel days and will usually go down as the gray tank goes up. Not usually a problem except lately since I've been staying at HarvestHosts where I don't have access to city water, so I can't just take the fuse out and flush away. Today I'm at a KOA in Des Moines, IA and NOTE TO SELF...
...of campgrounds in a single app that I have found. So its nice to have all of that in a single place, rather than spread across 3 different apps. I would be really nice if they added HarvestHosts and integrated HarvestHost booking into the app, but that's not a capability it has at the moment.
Well for me that just takes the fun out of it . Especially when it cost as much or more to lodge in your own rig . That's the price of a hotel or motel . I won't pay it
Thank you for your response. Your answers and our thoughts that we kinda keep forgetting about for some reason ( that we won't be driving ALL the time) and that motels are getting higher and higher and a lot of times are not where we'd like to be, helps with the probably inaccurate idea of...
Canada is just as bad. Provincial parks here are pretty much reserve only and that adds a reservation fee on top of the site!
Fuel cost up here are causing heart attacks. $1,70 + per L in BC (aprox 4 L to a US gal) That is $6.80 Cdn or $5.08 US per gal of regular. One would think that the...
Thank you for the ideas and yes maybe we will see you both in our travels. 😀
Glad to meet other Canadians with full time travel experience!
I agree with the boondocking as could cost more then a campsite as I would also feel obligated to purchase things we may not need.
I know everyone’s...
...joint any membership camping outfit, and my few experiences with Thousand Trails have been suboptimal to put it politely. I am in HarvestHosts because one night at a HH spot can pay for the whole year and I’ve had some very pleasurable experiences at wineries and farms. I also have the golf...
Do as I did, put a water pressure regulator inline after the water hose reel and forget about it.
Cut the water line and install this:

...places only 1-2 weeks. This does make the cost higher. We have reservations at campgrounds and had to put deposits down. We are using HarvestHosts in our planning more now.
Full timing costs can be as expensive or as cheap as you want it to be. We have recently met some folks who are FT...
