Everything You Need to Know About RV Tires
RV tires contribute to both the comfort and the safety of your RV. Anyone who has experienced a blowout can tell you how terrifying—and damaging—such an experience can be. Purchasing the right tires and properly maintaining them is essential. Togo RV’s guide to RV tires explains how to inflate, store, and assess your tires and walks you through the process of purchasing new ones.
How to Make $16,000 a Year with Your RV
RV sales have skyrocketed during the pandemic, and rentals are surging as well. You can rent your RV out when it’s not in use, giving you more cash to pay for your rig or your adventures. Peer-to-peer markets for RVers include Outdoorsy, RVshare, RVezy, and others. An industry report shows that the average RV owner can make $16,000 or more each year from rentals offered through these platforms.

Reservations Required at These National Parks in 2021
As a response to the COVID-19 pandemic, several national parks are utilizing reservation systems to spread out the flow of visitors and reduce crowding in facilities. Some parks require reservations for specific areas and attractions, such as Acadia’s Cadillac Summit Road and Glacier’s Going-to-the-Sun Road. Rocky Mountain National Park is offering 2-hour time blocks for visitors to enter with reservations, and Yosemite is limiting the number of visitors who can enter each day. While these new procedures require advanced planning, ultimately, you’ll still be able to enjoy these public lands.
