RVers Have Everything, Including The Kitchen Sink!

Summer colors are brighter, reflected in nature's sunsets and flowers, in lush green forests and blue lakes and in fresh-picked vegetables and fruits that abound on farms from coast to coast. But unless you're an RVer who has everything - including the kitchen sink - summer vacations can mean lackluster fast-food meals and convenience-store snacks. With onboard refrigerators, stoves, microwaves and plenty of storage, RVers maintain healthy eating habits and save money. Experience a roadside stand to discover local delicacies as well as the locals who are often rich with history. What will you discover?

From the Road

Here's to Your Health

More than a century ago, Walt Whitman wrote an iconic bit of verse known as "Song of the Open Road." His opening lines were these: Afoot and light-hearted, I take to the open road... Healthy, free, the world before me... OK, sure, he was "afoot." But after all, this was the 19th century. I guarantee that a 21st-century Whitman would be canvassing the country in a house on wheels - poetry in motion. Free, he says? An RV is all about the freedom to explore America rather than merely passing through it and to do so on your own terms. But it's that first word of Whitman's second line that often gets overlooked: Healthy. In an RV, the free leads to the healthy - in many ways.

Ready, Set, Go!
Vacation + Relaxation = Happy Campers
Who doesn't enjoy a great vacation? You can't wait for it to begin and wish it would never end... You return to your everyday routine feeling relaxed and happier... You bond with your spouse and family while away, growing closer... You return to work with a more motivated outlook. Something happens when families spend time together... something good. Bonds are built between the generations. Secrets are shared. Discoveries are made. Moments are frozen in time. Sometimes the road to a happy family is an actual road. And sometimes, nothing brings a family closer together than taking them away. Away from the daily distractions that can get in our way.

Italian Sausage Kabobs
So you stopped by a local farmers market and the colors and smells were so enticing... it's fun to put color in your meals. For a quick meal, how about kabobs and a zippy side salad that can be whipped up in a jiffy? Let's put a little Italian twist on the common kabob, blending brightly colored peppers, pearly onions, green zucchini and some farm-fresh sausage. If you prefer vegetarian fare, substitute portabellas for the sausage in our Italian Sausage Kabobs. Maybe those bright green cucumbers also caught your eye, so pair the kabobs with a Spicy Cucumber Salad for a fresh, delicious and fairly simple meal. And there's no better way to top off your meal than with thick wedges of sun-ripened watermelon fresh from the field... yum, set an extra plate and we'll see you for dinner!
