With the miserable winters that so many places experience, it’s no wonder that so many retirees flock down south to warmer climates rather than stay for the sleet and frost in the north. As with any lifestyle change, it’s good to have an idea what you want and need to be happy with a life on the road.
The biggest decision that you will make when deciding how you’re going to spend your RV time is that of what sort of RV are you going to travel in. Whether you choose a motorhome and vehicle to tow or a trailer/fifth wheel towed by a truck, there are some important things to consider.
The number one most important issue is that of space in your RV. Many fifth wheels and motor homes have numerous slide-out sections to make the RV wider. This can give a lot more living space to your traveling home.
Your needed space in an RV isn’t just space for moving around in though. Make sure that your vehicle has enough storage space for what you really need to take with you. If you have any medical equipment like portable oxygen for emphysema or a scooter, you’re going to need the space to put it.
Some RVs now come with small laundry facilities. If you don’t mind stopping at laundromats once a week or so, and storing a week’s worth of dirty laundry in the heat, then you might opt for more storage space instead. It’s well worth the money for many people to have the convenience though.
The kitchen set up may be important to what RV you choose, especially if you enjoy cooking. Some RVs may have a much roomier set up in the kitchen than others and may contain quite a variation in appliances.
Something you might also want to look into if you enjoy watching television in the evenings, is installing a satellite dish so that you can follow your favorite shows. You may be able to buy an RV with a dish already installed if you buy a pre-owned vehicle, but it is relatively easy to install one yourself on a new RV as well.
To best enjoy your time spent on the road, make sure you take the time to really think about what options are going to serve you best and make your RV time most enjoyable.

Good place to park our RV close to the lake at Lake Martinez in Yuma?Anyone know of a good place/camp ground to park our RV close to the lake at Lake Martinez in Yuma? We went last year in Aug. & hung out on a sand bar all day but this time we want to park our RV close to the water so we can be close to our bathroom & kitchen.
Anyone know if it gets too crowded there Labor Day weekend? Any suggestions?

I have to agree with everyone. This looks just like a photo! You never cease to amaze me! This has to be your best work yet! Definitly lookin’ forward to more masterpieces from you, Will. : D
wow O_o this is great!
When I first saw this I was like “that’s a photo.” SO INCREDIBLE.
The best answer to all of your questions is this: It ALL depends on where you are going and on YOUR SPECIFIC teardrop.
As for what your teardrop is capable of doing? I would do forum searches based on the make, model and year. Yahoo has an awesome one: RV Basics. I would start there.
As for park costs? When traveling in an RV (teardrop, 5th wheel, Class A or B) whether or not a site has electrical, water, and sewer hook-ups is usually directly proportional to how established the park is. Some places offer everything you might need, right down to a gym, locker rooms with showers, and a laundry facility on the premises. Some offer nothing and you are self-reliant for water and electricity based on a clean water tank and generator.
Cost is completely dependent on the site…some charge monthly electrical and water fees and each site has its own meters, some charge a flat rate that is included in your daily/weekly/monthly charge. Again, the more established the park the greater the chances these charges and quality of amenities go up. Bottom line: Each park has its own set of rules and fees. I suggest checking this site for resources too: http://www.exceldistributors.com/resources.html
Well, I live in Long Beach and the RV park called Golden Shore is 700 to 1300 a month. My parents lived in a mobile home park for many years, though not in an RV. It was called Del Amo Mobile Home Park and there were people who had RVs who lived there. Here is a link to addresses and phone numbers for several mobile home parks in Long Beach. Some may not take RVs, and of course the prices will vary. Del Amo wasn't fancy but it wasn't pricey either. My parents lived there until they died a few years ago.
It really depends on the park.
Usually there are only on-lot hookup for waste when they are permanent trailers. i.e. park models…
Most parks have a dump station, where you either drive your RV to dump, or haul the 'honey bucket' to dump it.
Make life easier… only use the RV's toilet for having a squirt (unless it's an 'emergency')… and do other 'business' at the park's public washrooms. Saves you trips to the dump site and helps with the smell and clean up.
it feels like my brain doesn’t want to believe that is a painting and more of a picture. haha
i missed your stuff man
omg so you played this on ur keyboard x)
cool man and lots of respects to ALL of youre paintings
Rancho Jurupa is probably your best bet. Since they only allow two weeks at a time, you can simply roll out, and roll in, for a new rental period. If you are nice to the manager, they probably won't make you go to that extreme, and you can simply renew every two weeks.
Good luck!
I don't know, but don't forget to have your mullet in full-force when you get there.
LOL! I have to keep watching this! so Beautiful! Musics Perfect!
wow it looks as if it was taken by a camera, awesome work man
Well I found this link for you. I have never been to this RV park, but it is near Wild Adventures. I don't think it'll be busy in October. All the kids are back in school now and Wild Adventures is usually a summer trip. Anyways, check out this link. I hope it helps!
ITs possible that a few do, becasue I have heard this before. I've been RV'ing since 2000 and haven't run into any park that did. I really don't think that you'll have a problem. Buy the Trailer Life Directory so that you can call ahead of time and find out. http://www.trailerlife.com/
Check around the Homestead area. There is a nice one down there
Hey will,, man could i get the mp3 for this tune??? please is absolutely amazing.
