Camp Kamp

Looking for an upholsterer in the LA area. Our couch is in desperate need. Do they take the couch away? Do they do the work in the rig? Do they come to us or do we go to them? Any input & recommendations welcome! Thanks, Buck & Chris...

Who do we have to thank for so many of our beautiful state parks? President Franklin Delano Roosevelt and the young men of the Civilian Conservation Corps, that's who. And there is a wonderful museum to honor those people at Highlands Hammock State Park in Sebring, Florida where we camped last week. Forest fire at camp The heat kept most campers aw...

St Pats is March 17 but we celebrated it two weeks early this year. Naming an event is mostly a way to give it character before the characters show up to camp. We set up Pala Indian Casino for this years StPats SoCal event. Tim and the caterer set the theme and decked the halls. I am so glad he likes to decorate because it sets a mood and makes the...

Tim and I visited the Northern California group last year and so much wanted to make it back once again to see the folks we don't get to see at event south of Pismo Beach. One of the best things that came out of this event was the formation of some other event choices. Keep an eye on the calendar for more information on that. On the way up to Jacks...

Quartzsite is an event everyone should try once just to say they did it and an event Tim and I attend each year because we both enjoy the desert and quiet fellowship.I often state that there are over 100,000 motorhomes dry camping in the desert for this event and my numbers are backed up by the many articles you can find about the gathering.Quartzs...

Tim and I once again hosted the Pala Casino RV event for 2017.  This is the second year the casino rv park was open and the second year RainbowRV attended that event.  There were few surprises and the RV park staff greeted us with open arms.  The year prior they were apprehensive due to our requests and a bit of confusion as they lea...

Tim and I meet up with 20 or so members at the Chula Vista Marina in San Diego California and RV Park for a Friday night cocktail hour. A conservative number of only 3 Costco Pizza fed the crew who were there to support the next days events ​ Terry and Sandy made the trip to keep every one safe Security Detail, 2017 Everyone in the parade setup cre...

Tim and I had a great time camping with the group at the Pala Reservation in Northern San Diego County. Three days after we got back home we decided to spend a week dry camping (camping an RV without hookup to Utilities) along the coast at the Rincon Parkway in Ventura I started the morning early with a quick drive to San Diego to visit a customer ...

Kenny and I have been referred to this club by some friends we met at the 2016 AZ Lake Pleasant Bash (Spring). We're sampling the free trial subscription. So far looks like fun!

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.

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?

Hi all!

My gf and I just purchased our first Class C today.  Only trip on the books is Bar Harbor and Eastport, ME in August.  

Looking for community members in the Northeast.?

Hi there, just joINed.  I can't find a list of upcoming trips for the chapter. Can u please let me know where that is?   Thanks sharon

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/.
