Leave no trace: The boondocker’s code
By Bob Difley
My inclination is that all boondockers know and practice the Leave No Trace principle. Unfortunately, I find that idea does not always match reality. I’m sure we all have found trash when we pull into a new boondocking site, and probably blame it on “those damn kids” that come out here in our [...]
Is there an “ideal” DP?
Well, we got several good comments about our first installment on this subject, so let’s push forward with more of our observations in our ongoing attempt to find the ideal diesel pusher motorhome. So, where are we so far in our project to design our ideal DP? Well, we want a fairly large, midship LCD TV [...]

Let your Voice be Heard on State Parks
Last week I wrote an article about state parks that are being closed because of state budget cuts. I received many e-mails regarding the article, including one that referenced this website www.americasstateparks.com When I started to research the topic more in-depth I ran across a Business Wire article explaining how the National Association of State Park [...]
What is space? A philosophical discussion
By Bob Difley Space. The last frontier. How big is it? Last week astronomers found another hundred million galaxies in a far, unobserved corner of deep space.

Is there an “ideal” DP?
For this post, I hope you will all indulge me as I depart from my perspective as an impartial observer, and offer some opinions. Linda and I have, for several years, RV’ed in a 40 ft. diesel pusher. Our personal opinion is that this is a wonderful way to travel and to camp. Our coach [...]
How to Improve the Towing Power of Your Ford F150
Last year, I blogged quite a bit on making modifications to your RV, from low cost mods like battery cutoff switches and drip rail extensions to the more elaborate mods like RV cold weather preparation and sliding cargo trays. While I will still continue to write about RV mods, this year I would like to [...]
How Safe Is The Hitch On Your Motor Home?
The Lug_Nut View. Trailer hitches, we all have them, most of us use them. Today’s trailer hitches, or Hidden Hitch like assemblies, are found on pretty well all SUV’s, pickups, vans, cross-over’s, trucks and motor coaches. They are out of sight, reliable and are not the shin bangers of yesterday’s design. At least as long [...]
