100 years of RVing.

As another year of RV travel beckons, we invite you to help us create a list of 100 most memorable RV moments, or if you don’t own yet, 100 reasons why you’d like to Go RVing.

100 Best Small-Town Slogans

As memorable as a road trip can be, sometimes the rural hamlets that we pass by are mere blurs. Even if you happen to be driving an RV with an expansive windshield offering a perfect view, you may miss a town entirely if you blink at the wrong time. That’s one reason towns adopt slogans. These phrases - often witty, sometimes descriptive, occasionally desperate - tend to be shouted from highway signs, identifying each community as a place of some significance, a destination worthy of consideration.

An American Journey Continues

Is it any wonder why RVs first captured the hearts of Americans? In the great land of opportunity, early auto campers and trailers were allowing the adventurous to travel farther, more comfortably and at their own pace. No longer confined to the railway routes, there were out-of-the-way places to be discovered. Car parks, the first campgrounds, sprung up across the country to provide travelers with safe places to stop, rest and converse with fellow travelers.

Hard to imagine that the early Tin Can Tourists’ portable, often one-pot meals were very tasty at all. Many were probably made with filling ingredients that wouldn’t spoil and were meant to sustain the road travelers rather than tantalize their taste buds. But in their honor, we’d like to offer an easy, prepare-ahead, one-skillet dinner with a little sweeter twist that’s great for the road. As you sit to enjoy this tasty dinner, just think of how easy cleanup will be, allowing you more time to enjoy the evening with your new campground neighbors.
