We choose campgrounds based on proximity to the things we like to do (hiking, biking, kayaking, fishing). We like to be as remote as possible. But if you're going to sit somewhere for a month you...

I don't have a picture because we're traveling with a trailer right now but for a rack we use the Hollywood RV Rider because it works with fenders. We use a Kuat Pivot to swing it out of the way of...

We're currently on a 3 month trip and are towing a trailer so we can bring along our ebikes and kayaks. It's a pain in the butt. The main benefit of a class B is nimbleness and the ability to drive...

1 and 2: We picked our B based on quality and that's what we like best about it. Good components and excellent assembly. Open layout, plenty of storage, and true 4 season. Enough lithium for 4-5...

Suitcases are good for air travel but not for vehicle travel. We use soft bags like duffels or packing cubes. They're much more space efficient.

But it ignores the cost of buying a class B and the depreciation when selling it. It would be like buying a boat thinking you'll save money on fish.

It's been quite a few years since I did it, but I bought a rug I wanted from a home center, cut it to size, then took it to a local carpet store that did the edge binding. It wasn't expensive.

Unfortunately both our bikes have full rear fenders so this rack won't work. I'll probably go with a Kuat Pivot combined with a Kuat NV 2.0. It works out to about the same price. Plus the Pivot...
