Why You Should Buy a RV
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=D_MacKay]D MacKay
One of the greatest freedoms we have in this great country of ours is the freedom to travel: To go where we please when we please. The reason more people do not travel with their families as much as they would like is the hassle and the cost of traveling. With air travel and hotels getting more expensive and restaurants increasing their prices, traveling is becoming more and more difficult. Airlines do not always fly to where you want to go and if they do the cost of renting a car to get around is extremely high. So if a person wants to travel without breaking their bank account, what options do they have? Travel in an RV.
This is the best way to see and truly enjoy this great country we live in. When you own a RV you get to go where you want without the hassle of checking luggage or going through security checks. Instead of seeing little squares our country from over 25,000ft in the air, you get to experience the country at eye level. There is nothing better than this for viewing the purple mountains majesty from sea to shining sea.
You also meet the nicest people traveling in a RV. You meet people who are not angry and stressed out because they were 1 minute late for a flight that would not wait, their rental car was not ready on time or their hotel was over booked. Instead, you meet people who are glad to be where they are. You meet people who are friendly and considerate and more importantly, relaxed. Couple this with the fact that when you travel in an RV with your family, you strengthen your relationships and create lasting memories for your children.
It is also less expensive to travel in an RV. No smelly hotels rooms, sleeping in a strange bed in a strange place or eating expensive restaurant food. In your RV you sleep in your own bed and eat your own food and you are on your own time table. You have all the comforts of home and none of the hassles of being in a strange place.
No matter where you travel to, from Disney World to the Grand Canyon, you can always find a space in a good RV park at a good rate. Even with the cost of fuel today, when you factor in the price of air travel, hotel expenses, car rental fees and time wasted stranded in airport lines, it is still cheaper to "Go RVing."

The Goldilocks Syndrome
I met another full time RV'r for the first time yesterday. His name was "Mo." Although he had been here two days by the time I met him, I hadn't gotten to visit with him even though he was parked right next to us. We had been traveling to our grandson's baseball playoff games and it didn't leave time to visit.
Mo owns a big beautiful rig that most of the rest of us only get to see now and then, and of course his rig had lots of folks talking about it. I finally got a chance to visit with Mo the evening before he left. I learned that he was here because he had read a book by the name of "The Shack." He loved the book and that is why he came to the Wallowa area. We discussed other books and general topics while we had the time, and then we both had to go.
Mo is a neat guy and even though I only met him once and we talked at most for half an hour, I already miss him as a friend and neighbor. I hope he makes it back here someday!
I titled this "The Goldilocks Syndrome" because of one of Mo's witticisms. Mo says that as you struggle through life, sort of like when Goldilocks was sampling the porridge, chairs, and beds of the Three Bears, just as soon as you think your comfortable, the Three Bears come home again, and all is no longer well!
Mo, I wish you a gentle road with the wind at your tail and a new friend at each stop!

Toilet Paper and drain clogs
When we got our first new RV back in 2000, it came with a starter kit that included a freshwater hose, a plastic pressure reducer, a sewer hose with a couple of connections, and a package of RV toilet paper. The rig came with manual that explained how to use most of the features of the trailer and the individual installation manuals and so on for all the important components like axles, brakes, refrigerator, air conditioner, water heater, ..You get the idea.
One of the suggestions listed in the manual was to use specially designed toilet paper in your toilet to help keep it from clogging. This paper is designed to decompose faster than regular paper and so helps prevent problems. Oh! we were also given a sample of toilet chemical to use to help decompose solids and paper products in the tank.
Well it's now nine years since we bought that first trailer. We have fond memories of that rig but we have learned a lot since then. We don't buy the special toilet paper anymore. We buy regular paper, the same as we used when we had a house. What we learned that is more important than the kind of paper you use is that when you are full timers like we are, you need to empty your tanks more frequently than those who are not full timers. The paper in the tank, no matter what kind, does not have time to decompose as fast as we need to service the rig. Instead, the key to preventing clogs is water. Whenever you use the toilet in your rig, take the time to fill the bowl about halfway before using it. Just make sure there is lots of water going into the tank each time you use it. It will force you to empty the tank more often but you will also have fewer clogs to deal with.
