Class A Motorhome 101 RV DVD

Here's what Malia says about herself and her website:

I am a fulltime RVer and consider myself extremely blessed to be able to live this lifestyle I've chosen for myself. I've experienced a lot in these 5 years and one of the things I want to do is share some of what I've learned along the way. So much of it came from other RVers, who are some of the most friendly people on earth, always so willing to help and share. I hope to continue this tradition and "pay it forward" by being of service to other traveling souls. We most certainly are a special breed!
What inspired this site

I've kept an online journal called "Inspiration's Journey" since I took off as a way to share what I was seeing and feeling with my family and friends. My first article, "Alaska Alone," was published in the March 2005 issue of the Good Sam magazine, "Highways." The response to this and to my journal inspired me to begin work on this site to provide info to RVers with our specific needs in mind. After all, there's a lot of info we who drive something 36' long, towing a car behind us, need that a little Toyota doesn't!

I will provide my honest reviews of the campgrounds I visit, including pictures that they don't show on their own website. Beyond the dry stats, I will also give my impression of the feel of the place - how friendly are the people - the kind of things I would like to know before deciding on where I want to live, even if it's only for a couple of days.

Besides camping choices, I'll let you know about some of the local activities and businesses. And while I will partially support this site by selling ads to places I have visited and endorse, no one gets to approve what I say in my "2 Cents" section. I've had businesses want to change what I highlighted in my opinion, and that is one area in which I will never compromise. I want whoever reads this site to know that I mean what I say and that my reviews cannot be bought at any price. What I write about and what I say will always be my choice alone.

So as I begin this venture, I hope you will become my traveling partners. I will always welcome your feedback and want to hear of anything else you would like to see here. The site is most definitely a work in progress and will be expanding as I continue my journey. Visit Malia's Miles

Jose and Jill Ferrer, at ages 56 and 51 moved from a two story townhouse complete with basement and a two car garage... into a 40 foot-long motorhome. They continued to work for a while and adjusted to RV living.

Jose and Jill made the decision that they would rather spend less and live more. Accepting that they would have to pinch some pennies and probably work part-time along the way. They consider themselves to be pretty resilient and industrious people, and decided to get on with their RV dream.

So they started their RV lifestyle adventure. Over the years they have enjoyed the travels and the everyday living and the wonderful people they meet. They have found lots of things to like about RV life (and a few that are not so hot).

Fran and I had the opportunity to spend a couple of winters RVing in Texas and really enjoyed it. I will definitely go back. Of course Texas is a big place so even with all the miles we put on the RV we only saw a small part of the state.

Being big is a good thing for Texas since it means you have plenty of choices of places to visit. Climate and habitat vary greatly in the different regions of Texas so you're sure to find a nesting place to suit you. Below are a few selected sites that will give you more information about wintering in Texas.
