One thing that Donald and I have noticed is that for the most part, the people we run into in RV parks are some of the nicest people. Of course the Rainbow RV rallies involve some of the nicest people we know, however, when we venture off on our own for either a weekend getaway or holiday week, we have noticed that the people around us are just more relaxed and have a carefree attitude about life. Perhaps it is because of the type of resorts we go to or is it because by nature, the people who we run into are on vacation and therefore, much more relaxed. We love going for frequent walks and seeing all the different types of RVs and getting to know the park, and almost every single time, we get frequent "hellos", "how are you" or even strike up conversations. Just an observation that I wanted to share to see if any of you have had similar experiences. Anyway, we just signed up for the Temecula Wine Rally in June which is kind of silly because we literally live about 7 miles from the RV park, but again, there is something magical and cathartic when we go on a trip, even if it is in our backyard! Looking forward to reconnecting with existing friends and looking forward to making new friends as well!

Happy Holidays! We are heading up & down the southern coast, from palm springs to san fransisco & back! May not be exciting to you, but we are STOKED!! Please, any one that has done this that may have words of wisdom, chime in. It's a week, and seems like enough time to get a real sense of the PCH. Maybe not. We're reaching out to anyone that might by chance be doing the same thing or has done it & has irresistable advice or recommendations. Driving a 24' Tioga dark gray with a golden retriever at the helm. Peace!
Chris and I are starting to plan a week long honeymoon road trip starting December 26th. Were guessing the Southwest is a better destination than heading north that time of year. We're looking for suggestions! RV Parks? Must-see sights? We're open to suggestion! You can contact us here or at This email address is being protected from spambots.

Any others out there? Northeast Wisconsin?
Hi, just purchased 34 ft type A. Looking for Wisconsin GLBT that may want to travel together, or meet at other campgrounds. Looking for other GLBT peeps to do the same.
A Year in Review of Two New RVers
July 2013- July 2014
What a year! In July, the US Supreme Court upheld that Prop 8 was indeed unconstitutional! Donald and I were elated and we wasted no time in scheduling our appointment to get married, On July 9, 2013, Donald and I were officially married, after 18 years. Our marriage ceremony was quiet and simple, with our best friend Shirley and our god-daughter Randi, as our witnesses. I wont say we did it on the cheap, however, I did make sure we were coordinated in Donald's favorite color; yellow.
Anyone else planning to be at Chula Vista RV Resort over the Labor Day Holiday?

When, a few years ago, I suggested to my partner Dave that giving up our day jobs, selling our B&B in New Orleans and setting out in an RV to tour America for a couple years would be a swell adventure, I was expecting an arched eyebrow and withering stare. Dave loves New Orleans. Dave loves familiarity. Dave hates surprises. And yet…he agreed. With surprisingly little hesitation.
An act of love? Of course. But there is an adventurer’s spirit deep in his soul as well. And this particular solution to feeding that spirit comes with a bit of familiarity hitched to the back of the truck.
And so, much to my astonishment, the adventure began.
Our first year on the road has been more fun, more fascinating, more fulfilling than either of us imagined. And I've been blogging about it all along the way here: http://fabulousfifthwheel.com/.
Well this was my first pride event, and my first event in Long Beach. The park was great and I couldn't have had a better site location. The meet and greet as well as the potluck was fantastic. Hooked up with some old friends, made some new friends, and lusted after some others ;). I had a blast. This was my first time participating in the parade and I must admit, Rainbow RV was looking good, as well as all the guys and gals that participated. In my humble opinion we were the best entry in the parade. Thanks Tim and Greg, and all the people who attended. After all, Tim and Greg provide the vehicle, but it's the participants that drive it home, and this was one ride, I didn't want to end. Overall another 5 star event.
