This is a blog for the RV enthusiast and particularly baby boomer RVers (like myself ) who are just starting out in their retirement and contemplating the purchase of an RV or currently own an RV and are looking for useful information relating to RV's and RVing. RV Parks to RV dealers, fixing an RV, where to buy, where to sell, what to cook, how to care for a pet on the road and other issues affecting RVers. We hope to engage, enlighten and entertain the boomer RVer, while at the same time providing them with valuable information pertaining to RVing. Whether your goal is to motor around the USA in your luxury motorhome, tow a fifth-wheel to your favorite fishing spot, or just take a weekend camping trip in your pop-up camper BoomerRVer wants to be your #1 resource for all things RV.

I Had Too Much To Dream Last Night in my RV
I love to watch this 60s stuff with the rain falling on the roof of my travel trailer, safely ensconced in my favorite rv park. Refresh your memory here with an assist by Tommy Smothers waaayy back in 1967. Where were you?
I could take a whole week and travel with my fifth wheel RV just the western half of the old Route 66 just for the nostalgic memories alone. But there is much more to see and do along that stretch between Flagstaff and Barstow and great souvenirs to be had. I feature some of the most popular ones in my gift shop in Payson, AZ, I'll even sell you some of em if you want!
But as much as I could go on about Route 66 this particular post was meant to entertain, with Route 66 as the theme. And what better way to do that is with a hilarious video of Robin Williams in the final scene of the movie RV. Just classic stuff!

I just finished creating a new blog for Jakes Corner RV Park, a place that holds a special place in my RV adventure log because of my infatuation with Roosevelt Lake National Recreation Area. Jakes Corner is halfway between my home in Payson and Lake Roosevelt, one of the largest canyon lakes in the state. Great place for fishing, boating, camping hiking and Rving, and Jakes Corner is where I frequently stop on my way to and from the lake. And now I have a great place to park the fifth wheel if I want to stay over. And with the great Arizona climate I do tend to stay over a lot!
Jakes Corner RV park in NE Arizona, is just an hour from Phoenix, a 30 minute ride to Payson and Arizona's Rim Country, is situated conveniently between Roosevelt Lake and Payson and is equally convenient for visitors from the Phoenix/Scottsdale area.
I shot a bit of video for their new blog and thought I would share it with my RV readers here. I highly recommend it as a place to bring the family in your RV.

Thanks to a project called "Vets Roll" 128 veterans of WW II will take to the road in a "convoy" of eight donated RV's and two charter buses. They are destined for our nation's capital, Washington, D.C., to view the new WW II Memorial.
Our good friends at Finnegans' RV Center in Beloit, WI are sponsoring this RV road trip in honor of their father and other vets who were among our "Greatest Generation."
It's not costing the vets a single dime and since they will all be traveling together they will have plenty of time to exchange stories about where they served, the men they knew, the friends they lost and a war they won.
As a former Marine combat veteran and RV enthusiast myself I can appreciate what the guys at Finnegans' are doing for our vets. And to show my appreciation I plan on chipping in to help offset the $100 grand that it's estimated to cost for them to sponsor the trip. In addition to that I am placing a permanent link on this website for Finnegans' RV Center. If you would like additional information or to make a donation visit this website.
