Stuck RV? Get Traction + RV Park Good/Bad News

SCROLL DOWN TO SEE THIS WEEK'S JUST-IN NEWS OF NEW, UPCOMING AND HAPPENING RV PARKS AND CAMPGROUNDS.

Get a Grip...

When Your RV

Is Stuck in Sand, Mud or Snow

With a sinking feeling, you realize that you're in a rut. Literally. It’s a helpless feeling to spin your wheels and go nowhere but deeper in sand, snow, mud or icy slush. Here are some pointers on avoiding the problem in the first place, then getting free before calling in a pricey tow service.

If you're stuck and the tide rushes in, the RV is lost

1. Before the trip, check out the weather and how it may affect the terrain where you’ll park. Before parking at your site, walk it on foot to check for trouble spots. If possible park where the drive axle is on or close to the cement pad or the most likely solid ground. If you plan to park on a beach, know the tide tables. Tragedies result when you're stuck in sand and the tide is rushing in.

2. Know what wheels propel your vehicle–front, rear or all four.

3. Find room for emergency gear including a folding shovel and traction boards. Shop and compare the many traction boards available online and at RV and trucking suppliers. A large, heavy RV requires a board that won’t crack under pressure. Large, flat boards can be mounted outside the RV.

4. One popular tip is to let some air out of the stuck tire(s) to provide a larger footprint, but this iffy. Don’t try it unless you can re-inflate the tire afterwards.

5. You might redistribute the load inside the RV to put more weight on the drive wheels.

6. First, clear away excess build-up of debris as much as possible. A shovel should be part of a traction emergency kit.

Towing services are costly and not always available

7. Review the directions that came with your traction boards. There are many sizes, models and types, from space-saving roll-up and folding devices to heavy duty truck sizes. Position the boards but don't gun the engine just yet. First check under the RV to assure that no obstruction, such as a large stone or tree stump, is hanging up the rig from underneath.

8. If you use a jack(s) to raise the RV out of the sand or mud before putting traction boards in place, put a sturdy board under the jack so it doesn’t sink into the mud.

We've all heard of homemade traction aids such as kitty litter or carpet scraps. You could even use the floor mats or grilling pans out of the RV, but a quality traction kit at less than $100 could save your vacation--and your rig.

RV YOUR SABBATICAL + CAMPSITE GOOD/BAD NEWS

SCROLL DOWN FOR THIS WEEK'S

RV PARK GOOD NEWS/BAD NEWS

Need a free vacation?

Burned Out? Seven Tips on

SCORING A SABBATICAL

Do you need a break from your job to take an extended RV adventure?

Taking time off is one thing. Getting a sabbatical leave is another. It is a real benefit offered by more and more employers. Depending on company policies, it may be paid or unpaid, lengthy or limited.

It may come with requirements such as taking a course or otherwise improving your value to the employer. A science teacher, for example, may be required to visit museums with science exhibits. An English teacher may have to write a book.

A sabbatical is usually offered every seven years but rules vary. Some employers now offer them more frequently. The advantage to a sabbatical compared to other leaves is that this lapse in your employment doesn’t affect your other rights to, say, a pension, promotions, retirement, job title or seniority.

1. Don’t rely on office scuttlebutt. Sit down with your Human Resources contact and ask if a sabbatical is available. Find out if you are eligible for this benefit and exactly how you can get it.

2. Get details on paper so you’ll have a to-do checklist, budget and timeline. There may be deadlines for submitting your request and other milestones along the way.

3. Start planning months and preferably a year ahead. The application process may require a detailed description of how you will spend the time, where and what costs will be. It also gives your employer time to plan for your absence.

4. What arrangements have to be made with your room mates, landlord and personal and family duties while you’re away?

5. Make campground reservations where possible. They are very hard to get at many private, state and national parks.. Advance reservations are also a must if you’ll be taking a Caravan or Road Scholar trip in your RV.

6. Establish contact with key players you’ll meet during your sabbatical. For example, as a teacher you may be required to visit certain museums, historic sites or archaeological digs. If you contact say, the public information office or docent or project manager in advance you’ll have an “in”. On the other hand, if the sabbatical is to be for self fulfillment, totally unrelated to your high pressure job, you may need to sign up for a writing or art course.

7. Prepare your RV for the kind of trip this will be. You may need a different roadside service policy, trip insurance, maintenance schedules. If you are about to be due for new tires, batteries and other renewables, get that out of the way before the meter starts ticking on your precious sabbatical time.

Many guides are available online and in book stores to shepherd you through the personal, financial and legal aspects of this wonderful work benefit. The journey begins with your own employer and the exact terms that apply.

Choosing an RV Base Camp + Latest RV Park Good/Bad News

SCROLL DOWN FOR THIS WEEK'S GOOD/BAD NEWS

On the Road Again?

How to Choose an RV Base Camp

One of my favorite campsites was a sooty, stinking, trackside patch of gravel in New Jersey. Trains roared through all night. Our neighbors were shady looking characters in shabby travel trailers. Yet it was perfect when I needed a base camp for business trips into Manhattan.

It was cheap, It had full hookups. It was on a a bus route that served the city from very early to late nights after the shows closed. For me as a full-time RV-er and a professional writer and author who had editors to visit and contracts to sign, it was ideal. Rather than spending hundreds of dollars nightly for a hotel and meals in the city, I came home to my own bed-on-wheels base camp for a fraction of the cost.

As RV-er travelers we can be “at home” in any season for any reason. One RV trip may be a splurge vacation in a swanky RV resort with swim-up bar, concierge, spa and golf pro. It could be a family weekend with a water park and food trucks. When we want to cover a lot of miles we need only a safe spot to sleep overnight at a truck stop.

Then there are times when we want to visit a major attraction for many days at a time but without spending a fortune to stay within the attraction itself.

Destinations that come to mind include national parks, Colonial Williamsburg, beaches and beach communities such as Virginia Beach, major theme parks, the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn , the Smithsonian in Washington. D.C. and Mystic Seaport. All these and many more are worth lengthy, multi-day visits.

How can you find the right base camp for your next RV adventure?

+ Location, location, location. How handy is the campsite to the place you plan to go each day? Many parks advertise “just outside the national park” but is it “just outside” the park entrance you actually need? However, you may also want to spend time in the many attractions in the surrounding area.

Staying outside a national park means long waits to enter each time

+. Getting there from your base camp. Some RV parks offer free or low-cost shuttles to major attractions. Others are on city bus lines. Know how you will get to and into the destination each day. I like the “Rails to the Rim” package at Grand Canyon National Park, where a trail runs from a campground to the heart of the park while drive-in visitors wait in long lines at entrances.

+ Package deals. Check both the campground and local tourism websites to see if package deals and tours might include, say, a Gray Line tour or a multi-day campsite plus admission tickets to the attraction.

+ Driving in. Getting there is one thing. Parking there is another. Is parking available for your car? Motorhome? Big rig? Is parking t free or fee? At Walt Disney World , for one, you’ll pay a hefty parking fee, then have to take a shuttle to the entrance.

+ Access. Does the RV park allow 24-our access? In and out privileges?

+ Bottom line: Carefully look at total costs for a base camp handy to all the area attractions versus a campsite within one destination.

NEW AND FUTURE RV PARKS & CAMPGROUNDS

Newly open In Fergus Falls, Minnesota is a totally rebuilt and upgraded campground in DeLagoon Park. The city-owned campground now has new hookups (10 sites with full hookups and 32 with water and electric), a modern shower/bath house and an RV dump station. Several of the new RV sites are on the shore of Pebble Lake. The public park offers softball, archery, hiking and a BMX track. Reserve at campspot.com/book/DeLagoon-Campground/

SCUTTLEBUTT

Keep an eye peeled for sneaky new or higher camping fees everywhere. Oregon just added 22 state parks to its list of parks that charge a parking fee. The state’s dump stations now charge a fee. Cancellation fees and rules are changing. A Midwestern city just added campgrounds to its list of accommodations, such as hotels and B&B's that impose a city tourism "bed" tax on top of state and local sales taxes. In some states this adds up to 20 to 27% on top of basic campground rates. The money goes to governments, not the campground.

We thought the 28-site Sandy Pines Campground in Kennebunkport, Maine had new owners but the deal snarled. Now we hear it’s on the market again. Stay alert for news.

CHANGES, NEW OWNERS, UPGRADES

New owners at the Webster/Douglas Forest KOA in Webster, Massachusetts have brought the campground back under the KOA flag as an upgraded KOA Journey.

A ribbon cutting signaled the recent opening of Paradise Acres RV Resort, Dayton, Texas. The former Liberty RV Park is now owned by a couple who have added a dog park, fish pond, family game room, frisbee golf, basketball hoops, tetherball and full hookups at 50 RV sites. Cabins are in the plans for the future.

RV Mission: Springtime Florida + Latest RV Park News

SCROLL DOWN TO SEE THIS WEEK'S BREAKING NEWS OF CAMPGROUNDS AND RV PARKS

The Tallahassee area is know for its ancient live oaks

MAKE IT YOUR MISSION

Now restored on the original site, the mission church had dirt floors and no pews.

Mission San Luis

It was 1607, the same year the Jamestown settlers landed in the wilderness known as Virginia. Far away in bustling Spanish Florida, the chief of the Apalachee asked the governor to send friars to teach his people about the white man’s god.

From their mighty stronghold at St. Augustine, Spanish settlers relied on agricultural tribes like the Apalachee to provide corn, squash and beans. A lively trade route existed from St. Augustine to Pensacola. By 1608 the first friars arrived at the village we now call Tallahassee. To time travel there is the perfect springtime trip.

The council house could seat up to 3,000

Today restored on its original site, Mission San Luis is a living community with a blacksmith working at his forge, chickens roaming, householders sweeping or cooking or candle making. Come to spend at least half a day. Take a tour and for festivals, miliary drills and special sessions in old-time skills such as pine needle basket making.

Today the restored village is alive with people and plantings

Mission San Luis stood for almost 200 years. When Spain lost Florida to the British, the Apalachee people chose to abandon their village and escape with the Spanish to Cuba. Located just south of I-10 in Northwest Florida, the long-forgotten archaeological site has become ione of Florida tourism’s best-kept secrets. See the giant council house, which can seat up to 3,000, the plank-and-thatch church, carefully tended fields of native crops and Spanish houses built of wattle and daub.

The council house is rebuilt on its original site.

This is a busy city area now, but ample parking is available for RV’s. Don’t miss the gift shop. RV campgrounds are seven to ten miles away.

For more information: Call (850) 487-3711, missionsanluis.org. Admission is charged.
