They are the scourge of the campground. Wasps are out everywhere right now and they can be pretty aggressive. Most of the time you never know you’ve disturbed one enough to attack. I just want to remind you to bring your wasp spray with you where ever you camp. I always have one at arms …

Every year during this time, I make sure to pay special attention to writing an article about RVing and Fire Prevention Week. This is actually one of my more important topics and usually, dissolves into an outright fire prevention rant by the end. But, that’s OK, it is that important, and I get fired-up about …

Fall is in the air and there is no better time of year to enjoy the RV lifestyle. Campgrounds all over the nation are getting into the spirit of the season by planning big events that both young and old will enjoy. In fact, I am planning to go down to Galveston for a Spooktacular …

I love RVs! That’s not really a surprise now, is it? I also love all the cutesy “stuff” that goes along with the RV lifestyle. Again, not really a surprise. A few years ago, I took an old washtub and made it into a Fairy Garden. More specifically, I made it into a Fairy RV …

What a difference a week makes. Last week, I would have never imagined that my PPL and RV family would be facing every possible emotion, when we heard about the pending storm, my amazing PPL team jumped into action. It takes a lot to prepare 500+ vehicles for the uncertainty we were about to face. …

Going RVing is supposed to be a relaxing, fun filled adventure, but all too often the adventure happens before you even hit the road. I’m talking about trip planning. For both those new to the RV lifestyle and all of us “seasoned vets”, just planning a stress-free RV trip can be stressful in itself. Regardless …

Taking the kids out for a summer vacation is always a pleasure. To get them out and experience new things and watch them having fun us always a bonus for me. Here in Texas there are so many destinations that are kid-friendly and RV-friendly, it’s hard to choose which ones to write about. The best …

It’s a dream that most of us RVers have. Selling all of our worldly possessions and heading out on the road full time. While it sounds like a great idea to many of us (including those here at PPL Motorhomes), it requires a lot of work and isn’t as easy as it sounds. There are …
