DIY: Cleaning Your Headlights

1.       Clear headlights of every bit of excess grime you are able to and outline each headlight with tape.  This protects your paint job while you’re cleaning.

2.       It is likely that any product you try will require sanding of some sort—so be detailed, meticulous, and careful during this process.  After wards, the headlight should be rough and dull, yet clear of any yellowing.

3.       Polish them up!  This will rid your headlights of the small scratches caused by the sandpaper.  It will also rid them of the dull look and make them clear again.

4.       Since you’ve removed any protective layer that was on your headlights originally during the sanding process, it’s important that you apply a sealant with UV protection.  If possible, choose one with promised extended protection.

If you’re in the dark about the best UV sealant to use, check out what Popular Mechanics says on the issue.

Hack: Simple Tools to Improve Your Camping Trip

We wanted to give you a few easy tips and tricks on how to make your next camping adventure a bit more comfortable! Follow the link at the bottom of the blog to see more details on these great ideas.

1. Pencil Sharpener for Kindling:

Traditionally, most campers have a pocket or utility knife with them to shave off some kindling to make a fire. But, you may have lost or forgotten your life during your travels doing other activities with it.
Bring a pencil sharpener with you to create some simple kindling for your fire. You’re less likely to lose it since you’re probably not going to be using it else where.


2. Ice Shower To Go:

Made infamous from comment threads online, the ice shower involves using common household items to make a chunk of ice with half soap water and half clean water. One side to clean, one side to rinse.
Follow these detailed ice shower instructions and throw your ice shower in your cooler to keep on hand for your next trip.


3. Foam Tile Flooring:

If you’ve got little ones at home or know someone with kids, chances are you’ll be able to access foam tile squares quite easily. Bring some along to create a more comfortable flooring for your tent.
Alternatively, you can bring a yoga mat or two to achieve the same effect.

How to Find the Perfect RV for You!

So you're thinking about joining the ranks of millions of campers and RVers, but as you learn more about RVing you're becoming a little overwhelmed by the various types of RVs available. Soon you begin to wonder just what type of RV - fifth wheel, pickup camper, Class A - will best suit your RVing and camping needs.

Unfortunately, shopping for an RV is not as easy as shopping for a new outfit. You simply can't waltz in and say to the salesperson, "I'll take the green suit in a size 10." No, RV shopping means doing some homework and gaining as much knowledge as possible. But luckily, RV shopping is also a lot of fun!

As you begin your shopping, try thinking of RV types as either motorized or towable. Within each of these categories you'll then find subcategories, such as Class As, Class Bs and Class Cs for the motorized units; and conventional travel trailers, fifth wheels, fold-down tent campers, pickup campers and park models for the towable units.

Each type of RV has features that are attractive to some RVers, and less attractive to others. It's really not a matter of a towable is better than a motorized, or vice versa, rather, it's a matter of individual choice.

Here is a list of models types, and follow the link to see full descriptions for each class.
