Hammock Camping

Hammocks really enhance any camping adventure.  They are lightweight (great for backcountry camping) and easy to set up.  Hammocks offer an extremely comfortable camping bed to sleep in as well as the perfect chair to sit in during the day. No need for a heavy and awkward folding chair or an aching butt from lounging on a rock all day.  I love to gently swing in mine while reading a book (don’t have to go camping to do that, just go in the yard). After my first hammock camping experience, I nearly got rid of my bed and couch in favor of setting up camping hammocks throughout my apartment.  No joke! But don’t take my word for it, check out these websites to get the best hammock camping information available.  And, remember, there is no substitute for personal experience.  Get out there and camp!

Choosing a motorhome

Buying a motorhome is a decision that should not be made lightly. To find the right model, you must first know the difference between a van, an integral motorhome and a profile.

Maintaining your caravan

A caravan needs maintenance after several months of use. The maintenance of the vehicle should preferably be done before taking to the road. This will reduce the risk of breaking down.
