RV shows can be a great way to save money, but you have to have some idea about RV prices. Here we have listed some of the pricing from the 2022 Hershey RV show. There are some models that did not display the MSRP, only the sales price. This seems to be due to a dealership decision with the pricing labels.

Make and Model	Show Price	MSRP
Holiday Rambler
Armada 44B	$449,995	$628,037
Nautica 33TL	$279,995	$390,732
Nautica 35MS	$289,995	$403,370

We are now over one year into RV living, (though it is just part time). So far, we have been to one place that I would consider a resort and have also boondocked. Mostly, we go to state parks in Maryland, Delaware, Virginia and Pennsylvania. I think we now know where we prefer to camp, and that’s definitely state parks. Let’s take a closer look at each one.

State Parks

State parks are our favorite places to stay because of the trees, trails, boating and other activities that are available in one place. They can’t be beat if … Read More

When we purchased our motorhome in 2020, little did we know then, that we would start attending RV shows! We just got into the RV lifestyle, and we knew so little about camping in one, that every outing we ended up learning something new. Somewhere along the way, we found out that there were large shows with hundreds of RVs in one place, and we knew that we had to go.

Our first experience was at the 2021 Hershey RV show, which they call the World’s Largest RV Show. It was quite an experience! We have never seen so many … Read More

We have been RVing for one year now! Time really flies, and so do the miles! We now have over eleven thousand miles on our rig, and it has been great for the most part. It’s a great way to travel and we love the state parks, and many of the private campgrounds we have stayed in. The people are totally awesome and extremely helpful. It’s all great, except when it’s not.

Now I’m not complaining here, I just wanted to talk about some of the unexpected things that, as newbies, we have discovered in our travels. This is a … Read More

Dive right in now?

The first question we asked ourselves when we started thinking about getting into RVing was do this now or wait? This is a huge question. It doesn’t just refer to buying an RV, it leads to many other questions. Do we have time to travel? Will we like doing this? Can we handle the responsibility of caring for this vehicle? Where will we keep it? How much will all of this cost us? There’s really a lot of thought that goes into this decision.

I think I’ll wait…

I will say that waiting does have it’s … Read More

That’s easy…Read your manuals

In our most recent YouTube video we talk about the importance of reading your manuals for your new RV.

We understand it’s not the most interesting material. In fact, it can be quite boring and there are so many. But, its really important to read them, even if you don’t comprehend everything. And, while you are reading make sure you take notes and put together a maintenance spreadsheet. There … Read More
