I’m Kayla, and I sleep picky. I’m also a road girl. We camp at least two weekends a month when the weather plays nice. The stock mattress in our fifth wheel felt like a cracker. So I changed it out for an RV king. You know what? I finally slept. If you’d like the detailed, …

I’m Kayla, and I travel with two kids, a patient husband, and a lot of snacks. We camp in a 2016 Forest River Sunseeker. While planning one of our loop trips, we spent a long weekend at Riverhouse Acres, a quiet riverside campground that turned out to be the perfect place to put these new …
Note: This is a fictional, first-person narrative review written for creative purposes. Meet my fridge (well, fridges) I’ve lived with two kinds of RV fridges. The first was a 2-way propane unit in a small travel trailer. Later, I had a 12V compressor fridge in a bigger rig. Both did the job. Both also made …

I’m Kayla, and I live small but sit well. I’ve had three different RV recliners in two rigs. I learned a lot the hard way. Some good. Some not so good. You know what? A chair can make or break a rainy day in a campground. If you want the quick version of every win …

I’m Kayla, and yes, I actually did a rent-to-own on an RV. We used it. We camped in it. We fixed it. We even fought with a water pump in the dark outside Moab. So I’ve got thoughts. You know what? I didn’t plan to do rent-to-own. We rented a couple rigs first, loved the …

I thought my old fresh tank would last forever. It didn’t. A hairline crack showed up right by the outlet on a hot day in June, and I learned fast how fast 20 gallons can vanish onto a gravel pad. You could hear the pump sigh like it was tired of my nonsense. Same, buddy. …

I’m Kayla. I camp with my husband, two kids, and our loud but sweet lab mix, Millie. Our trailer is a 2019 Grand Design Imagine 2400BH. It’s not huge, but when the kids jump, the whole rig can shimmy like a wobbly table. Coffee? Spills. Dishes? Rattle. My nerves? Yeah… a bit fried. Before I …

I camp a lot. Two kids, one dog, and a 32-foot trailer. So yeah, I live with an RV septic tank. And you know what? I don’t hate it. Not every day, anyway. For the full backstory—including extra details on what gear impressed me, what flat-out stunk, and which products I’d still plunk money down …

I’m picky about hot water. I camp with two kids, one golden retriever, and a husband who takes long showers. So yeah, the water heater matters. I’ve lived with two kinds in our rigs: a small tank model from Suburban and a tankless unit from Girard. Both worked. Both made me swear a little. Here’s …
