RV Travel Newsletter. Issue 843
Dear Subscriber,

A brand new issue of the RVtravel.com newsletter is hot off the cyber press. As usual, we have a ton of great information for you.

In the issue. . .       

Editor's corner:
Jim Twamley fills in this week with thoughts about why RVers are not simply hobbyists. He writes: "Veteran RVers don't look at their RV and say, 'That's my hobby.' Rather, they see their RV as a magic carpet taking them to new destinations, a mother ship providing opportunities to visit and explore diverse landscapes, a time machine opening a window on the vistas of history."

The Editor's Soapbox: The RV industry continues to disappoint with its lack of vision. The RV industry president does not respond to the RV Travel editor over his comment that all RVers are all "obviously campers."

Cover Story:
RV hitch maker in hot water after vandalizing Utah arch: An iconic natural arch near Moab, Utah, was vandalized last week, and photographs on social media have brought the owner of an RV industry hitch company under scrutiny by both authorities and the public, which has shown outrage over the vandalism. 
 
Late breaking news: Do you cut back on your RV travels when gas prices increase? Then you might prepare for some shorter trips, as the news this week is not good: gas prices have jumped to one of the highest levels in years.
* Keep chipmunks and other rodents out of your RV.
* Ripped off surge protector needed protecting.

* RV Kitchen: Slow Cooker Blue Cheese Potatoes

And much, much more. . .
