had enough of sitting by the phone waiting for answers, one RV owner packed up his work setup—a folding table, laptop, and personal Wi-Fi—and brought it straight to Camping World. Day after day, he set up inside the dealership’s service area, determined not to be ignored.

He brought the rig in to Camping World for repairs, and didn’t hear anything back for 4 months while he waited for a simple repair

updates were scarce until October, when staff told him the delay was caused by unavailable parts—and then another setback when the replacements arrived in the wrong color. 

"I decided to just come in, make my presence known and make sure that they didn’t forget that my RV had pending work and it’s about time to wrap it up.”

After his story gained attention, Camping World contacted him with an update. The dealership reinstalled the original parts, and he can go elsewhere for the correct replacements.

The experience was enough to change his mind about where he’ll take his RV in the future. “You can pull all the publicity stunts you want but unless you take care of your customers, they’re not going to be coming back,” he said. “I’m going to go to a different dealer and I’m going to drive far away even though I live in Greenville to go see someone else from here on out.”

a property owner in southwest Denver had been using Airbnb to rent out trailers and RVs parked on his many properties to homeless. That must be against all the rules the rich people who own homes have made, they struck back

 

city authorities were alerted and began investigating. 

Denver's Department of Excise and Licenses hit Dickson with six notices of zoning violations, saying that his trailers did not have rental licenses. 

The Community Planning and Development Department followed up by issuing Dickson three "cease and desist" orders, saying that mobile homes, recreational vehicles, and trailers cannot be used as accessory dwelling units.

Evidently, someone hates the homeless getting a place to rent. They went to the right govt departments to get this guy one step away from being arrested, for something as harmless to all the rest of the city as making inexpensive places for rent.

a chance meeting in the Buellton Bash Vintage Trailer Rally, at the Flying Flags RV Resort, turned out to be a meeting with the historian of a Canadian travel trailer company

Susan was drawn to the vintage charm of our writer of the article in Vintage Camper Trailer magazine,  and she shared an unexpected and touching story. 

As it turned out, the author's trailer reminded her of some treasured family photos she had—images of trailers built and sold by her husband’s grandfather in Toronto, Ontario, during the late 1930s.

a Virginia family drove an RV just 45 miles on state toll road, gets hit with ‘legitimate’ $576 charge, because they too hadn't heard of dynamic pricing on the I-66's express lanes during peak rush hours.

The express lanes on I-66 use dynamic pricing. This means rates adjust based on traffic demand, charging drivers who want to skip congestion at peak times.

Larger vehicles, like RVs, incur steeper tolls because they occupy more space and wear down the road faster.

Bob and Doreen transformed a 2014 Class C Mercedes chassis Sprinter van and Forest River Solera RV into their dream 1950 Spartanette RV

the original Forest River Solera RV underwent a dramatic metamorphosis, replacing its cabin with a 24-foot 1950 Spartanette travel trailer. Clever engineering preserved the slide-out and bathroom, maintaining practicality amidst the transformation.

Salvaged lumber from vintage trailers adorns the door fronts, complementing the old-growth aesthetic. Trimwork crafted from 150-year-old Michigan white pine barn wood adds to the vintage allure.

it took them 19 months to do the work, 7 days a week, and they did this during Covid.

this guy got revenge, most perfectly, on an HOA with a rule against having large vehicles (an RV) in the driveway for more than 24 hours,

He wrote:

My parents used to have an RV and we would go on long trips several times a year.

Before each trip we would park their RV in the driveway for a few days to pack at a leisurely pace.

The HOA doesn’t like this, and eventually fines us and tells us not to do it again.

In our neighborhood, the roads are public, not private. We did a bit of research and found out that in our area, on public roads, a vehicle can be parked for one WEEK before it needs to move.

So, we did the reasonable thing and parked our huge RV in front of the house of the HOA head  of our HOA. For a week. Then we move it a few dozen feet, and leave it another week.

Facebook market place is the new craigslist, and it's flooded with stuff people need to sell. Here's a good example, a 69 Winnebago, according to the seller, an 18' was the smallest Winnebago RV they ever made.

Thank you Dennis!

this is nuts, a 65 Merc made into an RV... the Great Dale House Car is a car/camper conversion built of Denver, Colorado in the 1960’s. Estimates say there are a dozen of them still on the road today.

Dale Wasinger of Denver, Colorado got into a business of adding campers to cars that were only half wrecked in collisions
