 The RV Park At Tranquility Base -
The Space and Rocket Center located at One
Tranquility Base in Huntsville, Alabama, owns
an RV park, but from my experience, that is not
a widely-known or a well-advertised fact. What
is certainly true, however, is that if you are
going to visit the Space and Rocket Center in
an RV, there is not a more convenient place to
do so than the RV park located adjacent to the
Space Center.....

 Buying A New RV
After selling our 21-foot Winnebago
Rialta, we took a deep breath and for a

considered the possibility of buying a new
car instead and staying in hotels when we
travel. ......

 How I Sold My RV - This is not a how-to article because I am no
expert in buying or selling RVs. Since it is my
belief that many who own RVs are not experts
either, I thought you might find my experiences

 Joel’s Journal: Cheaha State Park, Alabama - “Chaha” means “high place,” according to the Creek Indians. Standing 2,407 feet above
sea level, Cheaha State Park in Alabama is the highest point in the state. Cheaha is
also Alabama's oldest continuously-operating State Park. The State of Alabama
acquired the land in 1933. The Civilian Conservation Corp's (CCC) did much of the
development and construction. The park is in the Talladega National Forest near the
town of Delta, Alabama, and is about midway between Atlanta and Birmingham, twelve
miles south of I-20 at Anniston.....Read

 Florida RV Parks
- If you have loved Henderson Beach State Park
in the past, the good news is that you will
continue to love the level sites, clean
restrooms, relaxing atmosphere, and the short
walk to a beautiful beach. The bad news is that
if you were used to paying $22 per night, it is
now $30. I think it is a bargain to be in the
heart of Destin...

Ask Joel:
A reader wrote in with an interesting question:
Is there some product that can be applied to the tires to REALLY help stop dry rot? I would just hope in this era there would be something that helps that you would not be afraid to endorse. –
